Askr

Askr transforms how you interact with information by providing a research workspace where you can "interview" your library. This platform eliminates the typical hurdles of documentation access with: • A built-in library of over 70,000 full-text classic titles • Direct import of your own PDFs, EPUBs, and TXT files • YouTube import to chat with video transcripts • Web scraping for articles and websites This tool indexes text to understand semantic meaning, allowing you to search for concepts rather than just keywords. It helps overcome the common challenge of "Tsundoku" – accumulating reading material without processing it – by offering instant synthesis. You can create focused research workspaces from curated collections, ensuring that knowledge becomes immediately actionable rather than remaining locked in unread pages. Every answer provided is source-locked, meaning that if information isn't in the text, it won't be generated, ensuring accuracy and reliability. Askr offers precise, clickable citations for every answer, linking directly back to the exact paragraph in your source material. Users can switch between different processing models, optimizing for either speed or deeper reasoning based on their needs. This makes it an invaluable asset for investors needing quick market insights, students looking for a study partner, or self-optimizers seeking a personal coach. It moves you from a "to-read" list to "done" by streamlining the process of importing sources, selecting context, and interviewing with confidence. Perfect for researchers, students, and professionals who need to quickly extract and synthesize information from vast amounts of text and media. It streamlines literature reviews, competitive analysis, and personal learning by providing a direct path from data to synthesis without manual searching or complex organization.
