02 / GUS DIY

Make a drive
that knows your world.

GUS DIY is the generic edition: a small core library plus the readable reference files you choose. Build a local knowledge drive for a hobby, workshop, project or personal field library.

Bring your own useful.

Collect your manuals, notes, saved web pages, PDFs and GPS files. GUS preserves the reference files, extracts readable content, builds a local index and retrieves source passages when you search or ask.

Adding files builds an index; it does not retrain the language model or turn imperfect source material into verified advice.

DIY Android is unfinished and is not supplied. The North Georgia APK is a different edition.

FROM EMPTY FOLDER TO USEFUL LIBRARY

Build it around what matters to you.

  1. Give the full app a home

    Extract the complete DIY demo to a new folder on your Windows computer, USB drive or external SSD. Keep the launcher, System and OWNER_FILES together.

  2. Collect a small starter library

    Choose a few documents you have permission to use. Clear, searchable text is easier to verify than a large stack of scans. Keep your originals and backups elsewhere.

  3. Add and scan

    Copy supported files into the top-level OWNER_FILES folder. Open GUS DIY, choose My Files, then Scan My Files. Refresh alone does not import documents.

  4. Ask one concrete question

    Start with a question whose answer you can check in a known document. Inspect the numbered citation; for a PDF, use View Cited Page to check the original image.

  5. Test, refine, back up

    Check edits, rescans and restart behavior on a test library. Add files gradually. Safely eject a portable drive after the app has closed and all writes finish.

Ideas for your own drive.

01

A workshop reference shelf

Your equipment manuals, inspection notes and parts information. Check exact specifications against the original page.

02

A hobby or project library

Organize your own reference notes, saved pages and readable PDFs around the topics you return to.

03

A personal route collection

Bring your own GPX, KML or KMZ material. Imported geometry is a reference; it does not confirm current conditions or permission.
