Gloss 
 An open source AI reader for articles and PDFs. Select any line, ask a question, and get a cited answer in the margin. Powered by Together.ai.
## Tech stack
- DeepSeek V4.1 Flash and Kimi K3 for the LLMs
- Together AI for LLM inference
- Exa for web search
- LiteParse for in-browser PDF parsing, with Qwen on Together for scanned pages
- Clerk for optional auth and Neon for syncing your library
- Next.js app router with Tailwind
## Cloning & running
1. Clone the repo: `git clone https://github.com/Nutlope/gloss`
2. Create a `.env.local` file (use `.env.example` for reference) and add your API keys:
 - **Together AI API key**: `TOGETHER_API_KEY=`
 - **Database URL** from Neon: `DATABASE_URL=`
 - **Clerk keys** from Clerk: `NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=` and `CLERK_SECRET_KEY=`
 - **Exa API key** (optional, for web search): `EXA_API_KEY=`
3. Run `npm install` and `npm run db:migrate` to install dependencies and create the tables
4. Run `npm run dev` and open http://localhost:3100
## Future Tasks
- [ ] Ship it as a browser extension that opens the same margin on any page
- [ ] Let a gloss compare two passages you pick at once
- [ ] Move the shared-key rate limit to a store like Upstash so it holds across instances
