Documili AI: Chat with PDFs using AI — Normal & OCR modes, fully offline.

Hey Product Hunt community! 👋

I'm thrilled to introduce Documili AI — the desktop PDF assistant I
built because I was tired of tools that demanded I upload sensitive
documents to the cloud just to ask a simple question.

THE PROBLEM I SOLVED:
Every PDF tool I tried fell into one of two traps: either they forced
me to upload confidential documents to some remote server (hello,
data breach risk), or they couldn't handle scanned documents at all.
As someone who deals with contracts, research papers, and financial
reports daily, I needed something that was BOTH private AND powerful.

So I built Documili AI — a fully offline, AI-powered PDF chat
application that runs entirely on your own machine. Two specialized
AI models handle everything: Normal Mode for crisp digital documents,
and OCR Mode for scanned or image-based PDFs that other tools simply
ignore.

WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL:
✅ ZERO cloud dependency — your files stay on YOUR computer
✅ Confidence scores + page numbers on every answer
✅ Ask matching questions, get matching answers with precision
✅ Handles everything from legal contracts to handwritten notes
✅ No subscriptions, no API keys, no internet required

MY JOURNEY:
Building Documili taught me that the best AI tools are the ones that
disappear into your workflow. I spent months tuning the confidence
scoring system and optimizing the dual-model architecture so that
whether you're a lawyer reviewing NDAs, a student analyzing research,
or a business owner auditing reports — you get answers you can trust,
with proof.
