A desktop AI companion application for reading academic papers, built with PyQt6. It combines PDF parsing and translation, RAG-based retrieval, LLM-powered Q&A with a customizable 'grumpy professor' persona, and voice interaction (speech recognition and TTS).
Use cases
- read academic papers with AI assistance
- translate papers into bilingual side-by-side view
- ask questions about a paper's content and get grounded answers
- convert PDFs to structured markdown
- listen to AI answers read aloud via TTS
- ask questions by voice instead of typing
When to choose
- you want a local desktop app for interactive paper reading with RAG
- you have a CUDA GPU with 6GB+ VRAM and want offline PDF parsing and speech recognition
- you want a fun, persona-driven AI reading companion with bilingual display
When to avoid
- you need a lightweight tool without GPU requirements
- you don't want to depend on external APIs like DeepSeek and MiniMax
- you need a web-based or collaborative paper reading tool
- you're on macOS or mobile
