Show HN: Wrote a small tool that turns PDFs and docs into fine-tuning datasets
github.comI previously posted a terminal tool that could generate fine-tuning datasets from real-world data using deep research. One of the most common requests was: “Can it work with local resources instead of only going online?”
Over the weekend, I built a separate version that does exactly that:
Point it to a local file (PDF, DOCX, JPG, TXT)
Describe the dataset you want
It extracts text → finds relevant parts via semantic search → applies your instructions through a generated schema → outputs a clean dataset.
Can it be used to be 100% offline with my Ollama models?
If yes, amazing, I might use it.
If no, thanks but I won't use it because it makes no sense to send your PDF/DOC to an online service to be used to feed their AI models.
