PagePal is an Android mobile application designed to enhance reading and comprehension across various formats, whether you're dealing with physical books, research reports, textbooks, or digital content.
Whether you're reading a PDF, or browsing through a website or reading some physical book , this app gives you the ability to leverage the power of AI to help you and guide you.
Built with Jetpack Compose and Kotlin, this app leverages Google's Gemini genAI model to provide instant definitions, summaries, and intelligent image interpretations directly from your mobile device. The app uses Google's ML Kit Text Recongnition v2 model for extracting text from image and getting the coordinates for the text.
Opening the app takes you to the home page, from where you can navigate to various other pages. You are given a list of webpages recommended for you based on your preferences in the profile section as well as the websites which you bookmarked from the WebView.
You can take a photo of a page from a physical book via the app or you can directly upload images from the gallery.

Upload any image (not limited to text or diagrams) to receive an AI-driven explanation of its contents.
