24 alternatives to FileForge Go
Hope this sparks some conversation. Interested to get the community's take on an app we use internally to find files and provide targeted file content to chatbots. Biggest gains in search are for windows users but I am interested to get feedback from the spotlight users. With the AI export we originally used and MCP connector but when back to drag and drop export of file content due to security and universal applicability. No worries about your file security. Everything runs on-device and works offline. One click download at fileforge.com. Open to any feedback. Brent

Hey HN! I built SimplePDF Copilot: an AI assistant that can interact with the PDF editor. It fills fields, answers questions, focuses on a specific field, adds fields, deletes pages, and so on. It's built on top of SimplePDF that I started 7 years ago, pioneering privacy-respecting client-side pdf editing, now used monthly by 200k+ people. As for the privacy model: the PDF itself never leaves the browser. Parsing, rendering, and field detection all run client-side. The text the model needs (and your messages) goes to whatever LLM you point at. By default that's our demo proxy (DeepSeek V4…

I've always wanted to just upload a whole book to ChatGPT and ask questions. Obviously with the char limit that's impossible... So some buddies and I built Ghost. We have it limited to 5 pages for uploads for now, but plan on expanding the limit soon. Let me know what you guys think!

During my winter holiday I played with ChatGPT and built an integration with the OpenAI Completion APIs and Excel. (And yes technically not ChatGPT but as close that we can get with the APIs that are available.) I found this incredible useful for my work on Filestar. I wrote some instructions here on how to try this yourself: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/use-chatgpt-excel-get-superpo... Please let me know if you figure out any useful prompts.

Hello folks, Generally, I never had problems locating, or quick accessing my files using "Everything". It’s fast and does the job well, no complains there. So… why build something else? Because I have some minor complains that have inspired me to work on my own custom replacement to it. And because I just want to make a great project to have on my resume . Here are some limitations I ran into: The app fails when I want to locate a file from another drive that I share between PCs and doesn't use the NTFS file format. Another thing it could do better is to feel a bit more system intergraded.…

My friends and I were really excited to try out ChatGPT when it was released. We were amazed by its power and capabilities. We were thinking how great it would be if people could use ChatGPT to ask questions from their own data. So me and my friends had decided to build such a tool. We are delighted to announce that we are releasing a public beta of our tool> After you upload all your pdf files into it. It can search for relevant documents without perfect keyword match, summarize takeaways from the document specific to your question, and extract key information from the document. It can help…

Hi HN, I'm the creator of LocalPDF (https://localpdf.online). The thing I'm sharing here is Studio: https://localpdf.online/app/studio Most PDF apps are built around isolated tools — merge, split, rotate, delete pages, edit text, and so on. That works fine for one-off tasks, but a lot of real PDF work isn't one-off. Usually it's more like: open a few files, compare them, pull pages from one into another, remove junk, reorder things, make a couple of edits, then export the result. That workflow always felt awkward to me in traditional PDF editors because you keep…
