SimplePDF Copilot: AI assistant fills PDF forms directly in the browser
A developer has built an AI assistant that can interact with a PDF editor and fill fields, add or delete pages, all done client-side. The tool uses tool calling to let LLMs perform actions directly in the browser, with the option to point to your own model or run locally.
WHY IT MATTERS
This solves a real privacy problem for healthcare facilities and others handling sensitive documents – the PDF never leaves the browser, only the text that needs processing is sent to the LLM. Client-side tool calling is an interesting pattern that others can build on.
