A small web tool turns furniture manuals into plain steps
manualai.dev is a web tool that lets people photograph furniture manual pages, upload them, and get easier English instructions. It uses AI to read diagram-heavy manuals and rewrite them as plain text. The problem is familiar: many manuals have almost no words, only screws, dotted lines, part numbers, and unclear panel labels.
People lose time flipping between the parts page and the current step just to understand what piece goes where. The tool focuses on turning confusing visual instructions into steps that are easier to follow.
