Get It turns PDFs into visual study paths with AI
A student maker introduced Get It, a free open-source desktop app. The app keeps a PDF at the center and uses generative AI to create explanations, images, formulas, charts, 3D scenes, flashcards, and quizzes around it. The creator says it uses the user’s own ChatGPT account through Codex CLI, so the app does not add another AI subscription.
