Products that do what Agentic PDF Viewer for Schematics does

Hi HN, We've been building out a PDF viewer to help support various tasks in the Architectural, Engineering, and Construction space. We use it primarily for steel estimation right now, but are exploring how it might be useful across other engineering disciplines! From a tech perspective, the AI PDF viewers we've ran into use mostly PDF metadata/text, so they dont work well on engineering schematics which are mostly visual. So we put an agent in there that has tool abilities to see both text and image modalities, and its been much better for our tasks. Hope its interesting to play with…

    Hi HN, I’ve spent the last decade building hardware products like humanoid robots, 3D printers, and self-driving tractors. I needed a tool to navigate technical documents faster, so I created one with friends. This tool helps with component search, cross-referencing, comparison, and debugging. We’d love your feedback, whether you find it useful or not. Thank you! Try it here: www.convergelab.ai

    Simple AI assistant for documents made open source Can be used for your docs or also for shared documents. It is currently a part of Papermark, open source Docsend alternative for sharing docs quickly and getting analytics on each page. Thinking on investing more time in it, and building more advanced work with many docs. Any contributors are welcome here https://github.com/mfts/papermark

    Hi HN, I’m building an agentic IDE for hardware developers. It currently supports Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, and a bunch of other boards (mostly hobbyist for now, but expanding to things like PlatformIO). It can already write and debug hardware projects end-to-end on its own. The goal is to have it also generate breadboard views (Fritzing-style), PCB layouts, and schematics. Basically a generative EDA tool. Right now, it’s already a better drop-in replacement for the Arduino IDE. Would love feedback from folks here.

    Hello It's been quite frustrating to find an online tool that will easily extract tables from PDFs. So I built one. https://www.tablex.dev Hope you enjoy it.

    I’m one of the co-founders of Doctly AI. I wanted to share our story. We didn’t originally set out to build a PDF-to-Markdown parser. It all started when we were building a RAG solution for a company that deals with regulatory agencies. All of their data was in PDFs, and as it is apparently with lawyers, they like to print and scan documents to make it hard on their counterparts. These documents contained complex tables that barely make sense, are rotated, and handwriting is mixed in between. Many pages are number ruled and potentially rotated. We spent a lot of time trying to get clean data…

    Hello there HN I experimented with agentic coding recently and I felt the need to track more contextual data by project. Also I felt the need to be able to go beyond the 1D chat to communicate with agents. So I created a local document memory, that is discoverable by agents themselves. The CLI is designed to be easy to pick up by agents. It allows humans to collaborate too by reading / searching / editing documents in the store. I have a Mac native GUI in the review process, I hope it will show up in the App Store soon. You can try it easily, instructions here:…

    I built a tool to roast landing pages with AI agents. I was gathering feedback from watching landing page roast videos, and figured out I could prompt LLMs to analyse a screenshot and roast based on the same criteria. It's not 100% accurate yet, but it has been really insightful when I've tested it on my own websites. Let me know what you think!

    aiPDF is your AI assistant that can scan, understand and "chat" with all your documents. It summarises massive docs in seconds and finds any information you want. It works with any file type, web articles and even with YouTube videos!

    Hi there! I'm building Diagrammatic, a simple and free online tool with the ambition to become a community for diagrams-as-code enthusiasts. Currently, it supports Mermaid, PlantUML, Dot (Graphviz), Vega-Lite, and Typogram, but I'm looking to add more languages. Please let me know if there's a particular one you use. I'd appreciate any kind of constructive feedback as well. Thanks in advance!

    Hey HN, After GPT-3 created waves in the tech industry, a lot of AI tools were emerging and with that, some AI website builders But the results seemed way too generic to us. It felt like the developers were rushing to catch the wave instead of building a proper tool We took our time, did months of RnD and finally came up with something better than what others in the market are doing. It’s got better design output. While it’s still in beta, I wanted to show HN what we did. Will appreciate the feedback when you guys try it out. Here is the link to signup for the beta:…

    I'm building a workspace for doing focus work while also managing constant multi-tasking and context-switching that's required in a lot of roles. Currently this is done by using a notes system where we can split-screen AI chat, an object-based data table system for tracking entities, as well as viewing other documents. We can define agents directly from documents by giving instructions in plain language and then defining the trigger conditions. This helps automate workflows directly in the place where we're reading and writing content. I'm continuing to experiment with instructions and…

    Hey HN! I built AgentMGMT.dev today to keep track of all those agent orchestration tools that keep popping up. I've tried a few and landed on Superset, which I'm extremely happy (and productive!) with - but I think this category of tools will be extremely important and interesting in the next couple years, so it's worth keeping an eye on all available tools and how they evolve. I will keep the site up-to-date, please help me by submitting new tools that are not yet in the list, or add any details that might help folks who are out shopping for their first/next agent orchestrator!

    Hey there HN! We're Vivek and Si-Yan from Cartograph (https://cartograph.app). We've built an AI-powered code documentation platform that automatically generates reference documentation and creates a visual interactive map of the codebase that serves as both high level architecture diagram and allows you to zoom in to specific implementations. How it works: We use static analysis to read a codebase and get its symbols and their dependencies, creating a complete map that includes function calls. We use LLMs (Gemini + Claude) to add metadata to this map, as well as augment it in…
