an assistant that does the work
AI stays out of the way until you ask. When you do, it works inside your library with real tools, on the model you choose, and each conversation is saved and searchable.
-
Works with your library
It searches your papers and notes, reads what you have open, and writes notes or updates canvases and boards for you.
-
Finds and imports papers
Ask for papers on a topic and it searches online, recommends what fits, and imports the ones you want.
-
Plans, skills and memory
Research plans, reusable skills and a memory you control, all kept as Markdown in your own library.
-
Quiz me on this paper
Check your understanding with questions drawn from the paper you are reading.
-
Talk it through
A hands-free voice mode for thinking out loud, with speech transcribed on your own machine on desktop.
-
Use it from Claude
