AI PDF Reader is a free, no-signup web tool that opens a document on screen while AI reads the whole file, summarizes it, translates it, and answers questions in the chat using only the document's own text. It handles PDF, DOCX, TXT, PPTX, EPUB, and FB2 files up to 30 MB, and uses OCR to read scanned or photographed pages. It's aimed at students, researchers, and professionals who need to quickly digest long reports, papers, contracts, or slides — and its main differentiator is that it's entirely free with no paid tier, no account, no page cap, and a side-by-side viewer for verifying every AI claim against the original.

SharpAPI is an AI-workflow platform that packages common tasks—resume/CV parsing, CV-to-job matching, invoice OCR extraction, sentiment analysis, translation in 80+ languages, and e-commerce/SEO content generation—behind a single REST API with official SDKs, so developers, SaaS teams and agencies can ship AI features without building their own prompt tuning, queues, or model orchestration. It's aimed at builders in HR tech, e-commerce, accounting/finance and travel who want ready-made endpoints, and it adds a no-code custom workflow builder that turns any AI prompt into a production REST endpoint. Its main differentiator is breadth: 32+ endpoints under one API key, one bill, and one set of docs, plus a visual builder for bespoke workflows.
