Where your data lands.

The outcomes of your request.

The AI organizes your technical information into these specific destinations.

SECURE

Encrypted notes

The AI uses create_note to drop snippets into your vault. Everything stays end-to-end encrypted.

ORGANIZED

Notebook placement

Your agent uses list_notebooks to find the right folder. This keeps your snippets from getting lost in a single pile.

SYNCED

Updated libraries

The AI uses sync_items to ensure your local changes match your vault. Your documentation stays current across devices.

HUMAN

Manual review

You decide which snippets are actually worth keeping. The AI only saves what you explicitly tell it to save.
