Why chatbots feel heavy for lecture PDFs
Comparing ChatGPT and general chatbots with MimWise for university lecture PDFs.
The text-wall problem
Pasting slides into chat often returns long paragraphs that ignore notation, skip steps, and do not match slide order—especially painful if you are neurodivergent or exhausted before an exam.
What MimWise optimises for
- Page-by-page teaching aligned to your deck
- Multimodal output: voice + visuals + practice
- Less context switching between PDF and chat
