SurfSense

For students, researchers, and professionals who need to work with sensitive or information-heavy documents, SurfSense helps find answers and create useful materials from their own sources. Add PDFs, Office files, and images to a searchable library, then ask questions and get answers that cite where the information came from. SurfSense can run with a local AI model, letting you work with your documents offline, or connect to a compatible hosted model. From the same sources, it can create summaries, reports, slide decks, study guides, flashcards, quizzes, mind maps, spreadsheets, PDFs, and podcast-style audio. Optional plugins add access to sources such as Google Search, YouTube, and the open web. SurfSense is suited to people who want a desktop research and document assistant with local data storage, including those handling confidential work or study materials. It is less suited to users looking for a cloud-based workspace for syncing and collaborating on documents.
