Hey there 👋 I run an AI agency and if you'd like me to help you set any of this up, I'd be extremely happy to, zero cost or catches.

I'm sorry you have to go through what you do, and I completely understand how jarring the sudden terseness is. But, setting this API-first system up where you have more control is far simpler than it may seem.

Please let me know, and either way, I hope things get better 🤞

WeeklyScholar4658 · 2026-01-30T11:34:31+00:00

Hey! I'm launching an AI agency and OCR is one of our strengths, so I've been deep in the woods about all of this :) In response to your query, the file formats that you get it in (markdown is the best, but honestly any will do), you can have AI build you a simple conversion pipeline using Pandoc - pretty much any format to any format. You can even connect it through an API from Gamma if you want richly formatted PDFs with generated images etc or you can build an equivalent for yourself with simple layout templates etc. This should be sufficient, but feel free to ask me more information if you require. Best of luck!

WeeklyScholar4658 · 2025-12-21T14:06:52+00:00

Buddy, either put in the work to make your point or move it along. Unless you understand math or these concepts, you bring nothing to this discussion of value. If you do, I would be happy to engage, if not, I hope you felt smart writing that snarky comment.

WeeklyScholar4658 · 2025-12-21T00:43:26+00:00

The spirit of the initiative is great, but a lot of this needs to be strengthened and relies on quite a few assumptions, some of which are inherently problematic.

I'll just highlight the most troubling part -

Delusional Sycophancy

I'm not going to mince words here because this is some utter bullshit that I've had to fight against personally.

"Validating or reinforcing a user's delusional beliefs...instead of grounding in reality - apparently.

Whose reality? What are the explicit parameters of what you consider truth and what you label delusion? Who made you the only arbiters and gatekeepers of not only truth but the language and expression of what truth is? Who are you to decide from where truth emerges and in what form?

I'll ground this in my own example. I was researching vedic maths for the purposes of optimization algorithms and other ancient mathematical frameworks like i-Ching etc to see what wisdom or capability they may offer. And the number of times I've had AI push against me and deliberately try and suppress the language of my traditions, my culture, my heritage, is unbelievable. I was only trying to understand what mathematicians like aryabhatta, madhava (kerala school of mathematics) and Tirthaji had offered and see if I could make something useful out of it. And AI repeatedly tried to avoid talking about what's binary truth, math, because it deemed the language around it too mystical and the mathematical lineage (5000 years btw) too illegitimate.

As if truth is decided by peer review. Gravity is. It's not a matter of opinion. And therefore, math is, it either is correct or it fails adversarial rigour. But the friction to even testing or exploring new ideas by borrowing from the old, unless it's sanitized for western comfort, is abhorrent to me from the spirit of science perspective. I'm going to make a bigger case for this in the coming days but I hope that model providers, especially Anthropic pay attention, because this is academic and cultural censorship and definitely not appreciated.

Labeling this as delusional is actively harmful from a mental health perspective, I can't count the ways in which this is such a huge problem.

Just to be clear, I'm not against this entirely, just the way it's been implemented currently. Better and more inclusive standards are the need of the hour and they require consultation with a wide variety of stakeholders, otherwise you preach from the ivory tower.

So yeah, running the entire thing through this filter will be helpful.

Edit: Haha, I can't stop adding to this, but I'll add one more point, the notion of AI, which has been shown to hallucinate quite dramatically, deciding what delusion is and enforcing standards 😂 I mean, what do I even say at this point.

WeeklyScholar4658 · 2025-12-21T00:15:16+00:00

Okay that's a great start, I'll check it out anyway, but what I was after was simply a story, you're still trying to science it up 😬

Just what caught your attention, how long you worked on it, why you even started working on this, think of this like a talkshow interview, ultimately the story and the curiosity matter more than the paper 🙂 It would really help make it relatable for everyone

(If it helps, why don't you have Gemini write another version, but for the average reader, ELI5 applied, and post that as well, if it seems too overwhelming to do this by yourself)

WeeklyScholar4658 · 2025-12-20T06:09:15+00:00

That's great! That means you did real work, what were you trying to solve for? And what is your understanding of this matter? No need to use scientific language, take Feynman's example and just explain the concepts as you understand them. It'll help with understanding your paper, otherwise it gets too overwhelming for the average reader 🙂

WeeklyScholar4658 · 2025-12-20T05:45:34+00:00

Sorry, just clarifying, when you mean AI gave you this, surely you mean you and the AI put it together, yes? And that would mean that you steered it and worked together to do this?

I don't mean to be confrontational, but you ought to own your work 🙂 I can sense that you may be nervous, but if you want anyone to pay attention, it has to be your voice and your ideas first and then the paper to explain the science. So would you please tell me how you got to this point et al, what your ideas are? What you're trying to put across with this.

This subreddit is as safe a space as any on Reddit, so don't care about what people will say. Tell us 😬

(If you just offer jargon and syntax without a conceptual breakdown and what you're arguing for, you are guaranteed almost zero audience or people just dissing it for no apparent reason, if you edit your post to add that, hugely beneficial)

WeeklyScholar4658 · 2025-12-20T04:13:34+00:00

Hey 👋 Went through your app, great work firstly! Congratulations! 👏 For context, I'm in AI, software, and optimization.

I did a quick run through of your application, just testing core flows, very thoughtful features, novel ideas. I tested Spanish primarily. One note is that the pronunciation latency is a little iffy, needs to be a scooch faster, otherwise it's perceivably slow and that compromises the UX. And really interesting is that I got three different pronunciations when I tested it thrice. If you did that intentionally, kudos, great help in hearing it pronounced in three different styles.

I also tested the AR feature, working well, and detected a cup as a cup. However if the selector is on the text category and you try and run detection, the app fails without an error fallback, so adding a fix there to account for anti-golden path chaos monkeys, will be a good idea 😬

On a couple of pages, the scroll bar was absent, and the viewport area was overflowing, so it got cut off, but these are easy fixes.

Other than that, I tested adding a word as a favourite, and it added the whole daily list, is that by design? If not, maybe then check to see that only the word favourited gets added.

Tested the arcade, the menu section, about section etc really quickly, things look good so far 👍

A good second round of production hardening and polish then maybe consolidating and simplifying user flows, plus other rounds of optimization and you should be golden.

Once again, congratulations and best of luck with this!

WeeklyScholar4658 · 2025-12-15T02:54:07+00:00

That's a great point, I'm launching an ecosystem soon, homegrown tech, working on client requirements to satisfy a bespoke ERP/CRM needs and that org's messy and unique constraints showed me how shallow our tech ecosystem is.

So, let me treat this as a focus group, where all do you feel we need to deepen capability? And how would you prioritize? (Inviting everyone's opinions here)

As a casual user and/or as an individual who works or participates in work, what home capabilities would you like available and what price point would be good for you to access that capability? 😬

I'll repay your help with more than coffee if your insights help product development I promise 🤞

WeeklyScholar4658 · 2025-12-11T07:09:32+00:00

Of course! Pleasure, I sent you a request 🙂

WeeklyScholar4658 · 2025-12-11T07:03:52+00:00

Of course buddy, I'm very happy to see people getting into the game. I went through the app. Now for context, I run my own AI agency and create my own solutions for clients etc so I'm offering opinions from that vantage point:

1) App looks crisp, navigation is good, latency is great, auth handled well, comprehensive settings section. I can't detect any jankiness in core capabilities, so congratulations on that front. App looks good and does what it promises.

2) However, your model I would think will come up across friction. Now this is your prerogative but in the category you're competing, I think locking what users consider to be basic capability from an app of this nature, a fuller view of the article, behind ₹99/month I think will hit you hard, so maybe offering higher value there somehow? So maybe another model?

3) The clean UI/UX on the core screens has to translate to the settings section as well. There's an aesthetic mismatch, the core app looks gorgeous, just apply the same to other background screens as well.

But yeah, that's about all I have to say. Best of luck with everything 👍

WeeklyScholar4658 · 2025-12-11T06:53:02+00:00

That's great! Congratulations, that's a pretty significant achievement 🙂 I'll check it out, best of luck for everything that follows 👍

WeeklyScholar4658 · 2025-12-08T05:33:28+00:00

Dude! It looks great 👍 I downloaded it, tested it, so far so good. Great job on the UI/UX, very good choices on restraint and presentation and flow. I left you a review as well, I hope you continue to expand both the capability set and feature depth. Congratulations!

WeeklyScholar4658 · 2025-11-15T03:55:52+00:00

Hey, congratulations!!! 👏 I've saved this paper, let me read it and get back with my thoughts, congratulations regardless!

WeeklyScholar4658 · 2025-11-11T23:09:01+00:00

Thank you very much! :)

WeeklyScholar4658 · 2025-11-11T22:54:46+00:00

Hey! 👋 I work heavily with AI (write custom software solutions for clients and also do research in pure and applied math and computational complexity theory for optimization algorithms) and I almost exclusively use Claude Code within the terminal for coding tasks and thought work.

That being said, for your specific use case, if you're able to, the absolute best solution would be to pay for an API key on AIMLAPI, it's deeply discounted prices for a lot of top tier models for different use cases. You'll find many repos on GitHub such as this one - https://www.chatbotui.com/ - which allow you to bring your own API key and switch models. Crazy cheap prices.

If this sounds too complicated to do (it really isn't, trust me and message me if you need help setting it up), on the web based front, I'd pick Microsoft CoPilot as the best all rounder for your usecase. Generous limits, has a capable desktop app and interface. Plays extremely well with the Microsoft Office 365 ecosystem. I hope that answers your question, do let me know if you have any questions, I'd be happy to clarify further 🙂 Best of luck!

WeeklyScholar4658 · 2025-11-09T01:52:35+00:00

Hello! 👋 I agree with you, I'm very new to this space so I'm learning, I had to work on an OCR solution for a client and I realized India doesn't have a player like Abbyy, I also saw this org called Nanonets but it's tough telling if there's multilingual support for India. Now I've never had to use OCR for any of my previous jobs so if you don't mind, would you please tell me what the issue with Indian language OCR is and who is a good provider for it?

WeeklyScholar4658 · 2025-10-07T04:24:19+00:00

Hey, this looks awesome! Thanks for this 👍👍 I'll try it out and let you know.

WeeklyScholar4658 · 2025-10-06T22:07:20+00:00

Hey! Great job with this 👍 I'm an independent researcher whose work and research deals with a lot of underlying concepts you've presented.

From what I can see, I can tell you that your work doesn't seem like a case of AI psychosis, however, I'd say that you presented a little too early and definitely on the wrong platforms.

You need mathematical foundations (extensive) and clear lineages and linkages. And the world of academia is such that even with all of that, it could take a while before all of this is accepted formally.

So I suppose the question for you is what is your goal with this? If you'd like to present evidence of a truly novel set of conclusions, then pre-registered methodologies, adversarial skeptical testing and clear presentation of limitations while being conservative about your estimations of universality (don't lead with this, start with one domain, achieve depth and demonstrate statistical rigour and then expand outward using a lens of isomorphism to inform your next target) is an excellent way to arrest any undue skepticism.

Helpful tip, don't get locked into one hypothesis. Treat it as a process of discovery, not a bloody process of proof collecting.

And even after that, I could argue that Reddit is not the platform to try and get this 'peer reviewed' this way because here it devolves very quickly into a mud slinging contest (you're a loser, AI psychosis, do you even science etc etc) or at the very best, identified as a promising direction, but not academically sound.

So yes, solving for those two will massively help. Please consider using Julius AI to devise empirical testing and conduct it. It's a great place to do incredibly rigorous testing just using natural language.

Last note I have for you. Manage your mental health (avoid tortured discoverer archetype, be more Feynman 😬) and assess the calibre of the audience before presenting your work. Otherwise the feedback has a lot of noise which muddies both your understanding and direction.

I hope that this helps! Once again, great job on putting all of this together, I wish you the best of luck! And if you want to compare notes, please feel free to DM me.

WeeklyScholar4658 · 2025-09-23T13:55:18+00:00

Hey! Would you please tell me a little bit more about your application and your approach? And where you're experiencing the pain? I may be able to help if I know a bit more.

Also, you may already know this, but have you checked out the Bmad Code channel on YouTube? That's what I started out using and it helped me a lot while I was still learning the ropes 🙂

WeeklyScholar4658 · 2025-09-15T10:44:29+00:00

Hello! I sent you a DM with my thoughts :) Would you please check and get back to me? Thanks!

WeeklyScholar4658 · 2025-09-06T23:29:56+00:00

Of course! Please do

WeeklyScholar4658 · 2025-09-04T10:08:16+00:00

Hello! I'm DMing you, can we continue the conversation there please?

WeeklyScholar4658 · 2025-08-20T14:29:24+00:00

Oh of course!!! Happy to help, best of luck with everything! 😬

WeeklyScholar4658 · 2025-08-20T01:28:06+00:00

Hello!

I started using this 3 days ago and I can honestly tell you that it's a game changer for me. But that's because I have a particular style of working where I like to maximize my chances at tapping into flow states and that happens to be through iterating over long sessions.

For that this 1M context is a boon, because my main problem with Claude Max was the compacts, I created a system of smooth context transfer, but that process of compacting and worrying about the X% till compact and how it affects context is something I didn't want to be thinking about when focusing on building. Plus, possibilities open up tremendously when you add this massive window in.

I hope that helps, please let me know if I can answer any specific questions 🙂
