DNote AI is not just a chatbot—it is a Unified Intelligence Portal. It connects your private workspace data with global search to help you research, organize, and generate content with unparalleled context.
The AI Toolkit
Access the central hub of Arka intelligence by navigating to the **AI Toolkit** (/ai). This unified interface handles everything from simple questions to complex research projects.
- Glass Input: A sleek, multi-modal input bar that supports text, file attachments, and direct voice dictation.
- Intent Detection: DNote AI automatically detects what you need—whether it's a summary, a mind map, or a new database—and chooses the right tool for the job.
"My Data" & RAG
DNote's AI is powerful because it knows your work. By toggling the **@mydata** command, you enable Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).
- Private Knowledge Base: The AI searches across your notes, notebooks, and web clips to find relevant information.
- Contextual Accuracy: Instead of generic answers, you get responses based on your specific projects, meetings, and research papers.
Thinking Diagnostics
Transparency is key to trust. DNote AI provides a real-time **Thinking Steps** log for every complex query.
- Step-by-Step Analysis: Watch as the AI reads your input, analyzes context, extracts key points, and drafts your response.
- AI Diagnostics: Monitor the underlying logic and data extraction process to ensure the highest quality output.
Citations & Verification
Never wonder where an answer came from. DNote AI provides automated **Source Citations** for its findings.
- Internal Links: Clickable citations that take you directly to the note or file in your workspace used for the answer.
- Web Sources: Links to external articles and research used during a Web Search intent.
Embedded Visualizers
DNote AI doesn't just return text—it returns interactive blocks that you can use immediately.
- Mind Maps: Convert long research into visual hierarchies that you can interact with and insert into notes.
- Flashcards: Automatically generate study materials for active recall directly from the chat.
- Dynamic Databases: Ask the AI to 'Create a tracker' and it will scaffold a complete, encrypted database for you to confirm and create.
Step-by-Step: Switching AI Modes
Optimize the AI's persona for your specific task:
- In the AI Toolkit, click the Mode selector (default is 'General').
- Select Mode: Choose 'Research' for deep analysis, 'Visualizer' for mind maps, or 'Discovery' for web browsing.
- Interact: Each mode provides a specialized interface, such as a full-page canvas for visualizers or a citation-heavy output for research.
- Switch Toggles: You can change modes mid-conversation; Arka will carry your current context into the new persona.
Step-by-Step: Using DNote AI
Leverage the power of Arka proprietary intelligence engine with these simple steps:
- Navigate to the AI Toolkit from the sidebar or type `/ai` in your browser.
- Ask a Question: Type your prompt in the Glass Bar. Use @mydata if you want results from your personal workspace.
- Analyze Files: Drag a PDF or image into the Toolkit and ask the AI to 'Summarize this document'.
- Voice Mode: Click the Mic icon, wait for the 'Listening' indicator, and dictate your thoughts.
- Use Visualizers: Ask for a 'mind map of my research notes' to generate an interactive Markmap block.
