CHOLA (CI) — Devlog #01:
Zero-Server PDF Parsing & Cross-Chat Memory.,

Hey Hack Club! 👋 I’m John Nikson, and I’m building CHOLA (CI)—an agile, multimodal AI workspace optimized for local productivity.Here is what I just shipped:

📂Zero-Server PDF Extraction: Fixed the classic “jumbled text error” on PDF uploads. I injected PDF.js directly into the client header. Now, it dynamically unpacks document text layers right in the browser, completely bypassing slow, expensive cloud OCR pipelines.
🎨 Expandable Modality Menu: Integrated the FLUX Engine natively. Clicking the Plus (+) icon swaps modes instantly, routing image prompts to the rendering cluster with canvas-bypassing direct download tools built into the UI.
🧠 Cross-Chat Remembrance: Built a dual-layer memory system. High-level project milestones are logged to localStorage. When a new thread starts, CHOLA serializes and injects that historical context straight into the model’s systemInstruction block—remembering your goals across separate chats without bloating your token budget.
🌍 Localized UX: Wrapped it in a responsive glassmorphic UI with Night/Day themes and dynamic system toggles for English and Tamil (தமிழ்).

Built with Groq API, HTML5, and JavaScript. Let me know what you think! 👇
