AI product Open source
Gloss is an open-source AI reader for articles and PDFs. A reader selects a line, asks a question, and receives a cited answer in the margin beside the source; the video also describes keeping notes alongside passages and exporting selections to Markdown for Obsidian.
The app uses Together AI for LLM inference, with DeepSeek V4.1 Flash and Kimi K3 listed for language-model tasks. Exa provides optional web search, while LiteParse handles in-browser PDF parsing and Qwen on Together processes scanned pages. Optional Clerk authentication and Neon database syncing support a shared reading library.

Puts AI answers in the margin of what you're reading so a question about one confusing sentence doesn't send you to another chat window; in an article or PDF, select a paragraph and type your question, with answers pointing to paragraphs you can return to, your own notes alongside, and selections exported to Markdown for Obsidian.
A free open-source reader that saves articles, PDFs and X bookmarks into a personal library and writes AI answers in the margin: select any line, ask a question, and an open model on Together AI answers beside it, citing sources. It can also compare two passages, and parses tricky PDF pages cleanly.
