Asknes

Hey IH! 👋 I've been building Asknes — an AI study assistant that actually reads and understands the documents you upload, instead of being a generic chatbot. The core idea: upload your course material (PDFs, notes, scanned docs) and get an AI that can chat with it, cite the exact source for every answer, generate flashcards with spaced repetition, build practice quizzes, and summarize entire documents — even long ones (200+ pages). Some things I'm proud of under the hood: - Multi-LLM setup (Groq, Gemini, Claude) with automatic failover, so it keeps working even if one provider hits a rate limit - RAG-based chat with real source citations, not hallucinated answers - OCR fallback for scanned/image-based PDFs - Works as a PWA, so it installs like a native app on your phone It's live and free to try at asknes.com — built and run solo, still actively improving it. Would love feedback from anyone who tries it, especially students or anyone who studies from dense documents regularly. Happy to answer questions about the tech stack or the build process too!
