Every response is anchored to your source document with clickable citations that scroll to the exact passage, so verification takes seconds instead of page-by-page searching.
Organize documents into folders and query many files in a single conversation to compare arguments, cross-reference findings, or study a whole syllabus at once.
Condense long papers, reports, and contracts into key takeaways, and translate or query documents in any language — including mixing a source language with a different question language.
Generate flashcards and slide decks from your material, and use the built-in AI writer and AI detector for drafting and checking academic text.
On-device AI memory for AI researchers
Save a finding from a paper, ML blog post or news article as a "bit" straight from the page you are reading.
The AI that indexes and recalls your bits runs locally and does not send data to any server.
All bits are stored and indexed on your own machine rather than in the cloud.
Look up what you saved even without an internet connection.
