How It Works

1. Import and build your knowledge base: Import PDFs, DOCX, TXT, or crawl webpages and bookmarks to populate your local knowledge store.
2. Semantic and keyword search: Use natural language queries to retrieve the most relevant information from your local data.
3. AI analysis and Q&A: The AI analyzes your knowledge base to generate concise answers, summaries, and insights.
4. Store locally, optional cloud connectors: All data can be stored locally on your computer. Optional connectors (Notion, Gmail, Google Drive, etc.) are available for broader workflows.
