AI mdfy Structuring

After importing, you'll see "mdfy this document?" — click mdfy it to let AI:

  • Detect headings from context
  • Rebuild lists, tables, code blocks
  • Add emphasis and formatting
  • Preserve all original content

Works great for PDF imports where formatting is lost during text extraction.

Import via CLI

bash
# Pipe any file content
cat report.md | mdfy publish
pbpaste | mdfy publish

Import via Chrome Extension

Click the mdfy button on ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini to capture AI conversations directly.
