Build powerful forms, surveys and quizzes with AI in minutes
Describe the form you need in plain language and Zite generates a branded form with logic, file uploads, and payments.
Add conditional logic, intelligent routing, and multi-step workflows to automate what happens after each response.
Respondents can log in to update their answers, and forms can be restricted to internal users only.
Use custom themes, fonts, logos, custom CSS, your own domain, and embed forms as popups, sliders, or full-screen pages.
A private, offline notebook that turns your own sources into reports, decks and briefings
Install a normal desktop app on Windows, macOS or Linux and run it with no account. With a local model you can pull the network cable and keep querying your indexed sources, since nothing is sent to a vendor.
Choose a bundled local Qwen or Gemma model at first launch, or paste a key for OpenAI, Anthropic or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. The model is a setting rather than a fixed vendor choice.
Turn one set of sources into slide decks, reports, briefing notes, podcasts, mind maps, flashcards, quizzes, Markdown, Word, PDF, HTML and spreadsheet outputs — generated and stored locally.
Optional plugins pull research from Google Search, Reddit, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Google Maps, Amazon, Walmart, Indeed and the open web, and anyone can register their own MCP server.
