HOW IT WORKS

From scattered tabs to a strategic brief — in four moves.

No frameworks to learn, no APIs to wire. Just drop, connect, chat, ship.

01

Drop sources

Paste a YouTube link, drop a PDF, type a website URL — they instantly become live nodes on your canvas.

02

Connect to a hub

Drag a line from any source to the Chat Hub. The hub now knows everything those sources contain.

03

Chat & refine

Ask the hub questions in plain English. Switch between Claude Sonnet 4.6 and GPT-5.2 mid-conversation.

04

Ship a deck

Send the chat to a Report node, pick a template, and download a polished PowerPoint or Markdown brief.

SOURCE LIBRARY

Every source type, one canvas.

Each node is a specialised mini-agent — it fetches, cleans, and feeds its data to your chat hub. No API keys required (except for paid LLMs).

YouTube Video

Auto-pull transcripts, then chat with the video.

YouTube Channel

Detect outlier videos, batch-fetch transcripts.

Website

Scrape clean text + Cloudflare/SPA fallback.

PDF

Page-by-page extract — never touches disk.

Spreadsheet

CSV · XLSX · Google Sheets, row-aware chat.

Maps

Top businesses + reviews for any local query.

SERP

Organic, ads, PAA, related — for any keyword.

SEO Audit

0-100 on-page score in under a second.

Reddit

X / Twitter

Manual Paste

Drop any text when scrapers can't reach it.

SKILLS & TEMPLATES

A slash-command library and one-click boards.

Built on the open Anthropic Agent Skills standard. Drop a SKILL.md file and it's instantly a /command in every chat. Spin up an entire competitive battlecard or onboarding board in one click.

PUBLIC CHAT WIDGET

Put your knowledge on your website.

Publish a board and you get a ready-to-paste iframe, a public API key, and copy-paste cURL / JavaScript / Python snippets. Visitors chat with your sources — not a generic bot.

Drop a single <iframe> tag in any HTML
Works in Webflow, Squarespace, WordPress
REST API for custom integrations
Rotate or revoke the public key any time

WHITE-LABEL ON DAY ONE

Every brand gets its own look.

Pick a preset, drop a logo, choose colors, save. Each board's widget can carry a completely different identity — header, font, accent, corner radius, quick-action buttons. 60 seconds to configure.
