  • Intuitive note-taking: Effortlessly capture and organize ideas.
  • AI-powered categorization: Automatically categorize and connect related concepts.
  • Interactive knowledge graph: Visualize relationships between notes.
  • Advanced search: Quickly retrieve and uncover connections between pieces of information.

Tech Stack

  • Frontend: Next.js, Tailwind CSS
  • Backend: Node.js
  • Database: MongoDB with vector embeddings
  • AI: Cerebras AI for natural language processing
  • Visualization: Vis.js for interactive knowledge graphs
