Inspiration

I was at the buildersklub event in Berlin last week, and one discussion really stuck with me: the potential of automation and AI is still not accessible to many people - mostly because their data isn’t digitized or their databases aren’t properly maintained. Especially in Germany, where I’m from, a lot of important documents are still handed out on paper.

That made me think — wouldn’t it be great if all of this could be automated? Imagine a system that automatically organizes and maintains all your documents. No folders, no effort. And whenever you need something, it’s always accessible - no matter where you are.

What it does

Yodohu is your personal document hub powered by AI. You can upload PDFs (and soon Images), and Yodohu will:

  • Automatically extract content and metadata
  • Categorize the document intelligently
  • Generate relevant tags and a short summary
  • Make everything searchable via semantic search & smart ai search
  • Let you mark important documents as favorites

How I built it

I used

  • Bolt.new as the main development environment
  • Supabase for database, auth, and storage
  • OpenAI GPT-3.5 for text analysis, summarization, tagging & categorization
  • TailwindCSS for styling and theming
  • Lucide Icons for modern UI consistency
  • Netlify for deployment

Challenges we ran into

  • Handling inaccurate AI classification and tweaking prompt logic
  • Managing file types and formats during upload validation
  • Integrating Supabase securely while maintaining real-time UX
  • Keeping the UI minimal and intuitive while packing in features

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Fully working MVP with advanced AI document parsing within 2 days (around 10h)
  • Intuitive UX that feels like a real product, not a prototype
  • Smart Search feature which let's you prompt what you searching for in any language
  • Landing page, dark mode, and real-time uploads — all polished and styled

What we learned

  • How easy it is to use Bolt.new effectively as a full-stack platform and build an actual working product
  • How to write more effective prompts for AI extraction & classification
  • Deep understanding of integrating Supabase auth/storage (first time for me)
  • Optimizing UX for document-heavy workflows

What's next for Yoduhu

  • OCR support for image-based documents
  • Smart reminders for due dates & expiring documents
  • User-defined custom tags & categories
  • Secure sharing and collaboration features
  • Mobile app for the on-the-go access
  • Integrations like calendar, reminder, sharing, automatic imports from 3rd parties

I'm really shocked by how much of a product I could build in such a little time with the help of bolt.new and ChatGPT. I'm truly impressed and got a new understanding of vibe coding and its possibilities. I'm super happy to share this product with you and looking forward to the feedback.
