Feature · AI assistant

It can do a lot. It asks first.

A real agent for your notes: it searches, reads, edits, and organizes; it drafts the email and preps the Reminders. And it shows every step, cites its sources, and waits for your tap before anything sensitive happens.

Global & per-note chatSource-backed answersApproval gates
  1. Ask in plain language

    “Find the pricing discussion.” “Turn the action items into Reminders.”

  2. It works your notes

    Search, read, edit, organize — every tool call rendered as a readable card.

  3. Sensitive steps ask

    Writes, system actions, and anything destructive stop for your confirmation.

  4. Done, with receipts

    Reminders created, drafts prepared, edits undoable — and sources you can open.

Scoped to your notes

A chat that actually knows the file.

Open a global chat across your whole library, or a per-note chat that starts with the note’s source already in context. Every tool the assistant uses shows up as a card — what it read, what it changed, what it wants to do next.

Answers with sources

Trust is a tap away.

Ask a question and the answer carries chips for the notes it drew from. Open the note, replay the recording, read the page — the assistant’s job is to be checkable, not just convincing.

Approval-first

Drafts, not sends. Gates, not vibes.

Email and message tools produce draft cards — you send them. Reminders, calendar events, notifications, Shortcuts, clipboard, and URLs are gated behind confirmations. Destructive actions confirm, cross-note writes ask for elevated approval, and every edit is transaction-safe with undo.

FAQ

The assistant, answered.

Will the assistant send emails or delete notes on its own?

No. Email and message tools produce draft cards — you send them. Destructive and sensitive actions require explicit confirmation, and cross-note writes from a document chat ask for elevated approval. Edits are transaction-safe with undo.

What can the assistant actually do?

Search, read, edit, create, restore, and organize notes; create folders; list todos; read transcriptions; create and revise Artifacts; draft email and message updates; create Reminders; prepare Calendar events; schedule notifications; run Shortcuts; copy to the clipboard; and open URLs — with confirmation or permission gates where it matters.

Can it answer questions with proof?

Yes. Ask AI answers from your notes and shows source note chips you can open, so every claim in an answer is one tap from the material behind it.

Which AI models does it use?

Phrase works with OpenAI-compatible endpoints, with presets including OpenAI and DeepSeek. Configuration is read per request, so settings changes apply on your next message.
