Use case

Ask your stuff in plain English

Search finds items. Just Ask answers questions. Capture links, notes, screenshots, and voice — then ask in plain English and get answers with sources attached.

The Problem

You know you saved it. Keyword search returns the wrong pile. You’re still doing the synthesis yourself.

The Solution

Just Ask retrieves relevant captures and answers in plain English — with citations so you can open the source.

How it works

Capture without organizing

Links, photos, PDFs, voice — from phone, browser, email, or desktop.

Ask like a human

“What’s the oven temp?” “What did they want for the holidays?” — no special query language.

Trust the source

Open the cited capture. Verify. Share. Or take the same library into ChatGPT/Claude via MCP (Vault).

Key features

Answers with sources

Every reply points back to what you saved — not invented facts.

Works across capture types

Notes, OCR’d screenshots, transcripts, and web pages in one ask.

Optional Assist

You choose when AI runs. Privacy-first defaults.

Pro & Vault

Library-wide Just Ask on Pro+; MCP into external tools on Vault.

Sample queries

Questions you can ask your library with AI (Pro+) or via ChatGPT/Claude (Vault):

“What did I save about the lease?”

“Summarize my notes from last week”

“Where’s the costume sketch from last year?”

“Not another AI chat — my library talks back.”

▶Which plan includes Just Ask?

Library-wide Just Ask is on Pro and Vault. Starter includes capture and lighter AI processing on items.
