Show HN: honeybear.ai – Claude-powered PDF reader, supports OCR

Hi HN, I’m currently working on honeybear.ai with a friend in college. It’s a PDF reader powered by the Claude API, where you can chat and ask questions about any PDF, in a side-by-side view. You can try it out now at: https://ift.tt/C53oEUs We've tinkered with several other things in the past, and this time we wanted to make something we and our friends would find really useful ourselves, and so far we’ve had pretty sticky users. It’s pretty general purpose currently and works for any PDF like case studies, excerpts from books or textbooks, science articles, slideshows, and more. You’re probably thinking, “isn’t this the same thing as those other ones, like pdf.ai or chatpdf.com?” It’s similar currently, but we’re focused on students right now and making it better and eventually integrating it in a normal user flow (Chrome extension, native desktop app supporting any file, or even chatting and getting insights from multiple documents in a simple interface). Some differentiators and features right now: - Upload long, dense PDFs with up to 300 pages/512 MB + even scanned/image documents (we support this using an open source OCR model; ChatGPT doesn't support scans) - Take inline notes within your documents - Currently free with fast, unlimited chats We’re mainly used by other undergrad students right now, but do want to grow our user base much more and really listen to users to make this better than any alternative. We’d love any feedback and welcome any questions!
