Field notes
The demonstrated library contains three sample PDFs, with ranked results showing page numbers and similarity values alongside extracted text. Users select a folder and can keep separate libraries for different subjects or projects. The page says the packaged app includes its model and runtime for offline use; scanned PDFs without a text layer require a separate OCR step, and English is the only language whose search quality is described as validated.
