## Description

How It Works
Interact naturally with AIs to build and access your knowledge base.

1
Build on Past Knowledge

Have normal conversations with AI assistants like Claude.

"Find information about pour over coffee methods."
AI searches your knowledge base and summarizes findings.

3
Save Knowledge
Ask Claude to create a note about your conversation.

"Create a note about coffee brewing methods."
AI creates a structured note with observations and relations.
