Looks great! Per-page assistant works for llm cost, but complex docs (actually, almost any professional books) are all about cross-page context (definitions, relation between two related pages) - how does it answer something that isn't on the current page, but related to one?

sadly non of that right now. I think down the line I'll hook it up to an optional context/memory layer, so that it has an idea of what you've read so far. (lots of local open-source options iirc)

As you read, pages would be broken down and fed into this layer.
