WHY NOUSPDF? Most AI PDF apps stream your files to a remote server on every question. NousPDF takes the opposite approach — the intelligence comes to your document. You get the benefits of AI without sending your content to a third-party AI provider, and after setup it keeps working with no signal at all. Download NousPDF and read your PDFs intelligently, on your device.
