What is AI Assistant

AI Assistant lets you discuss a note and handle research, drafting, and editing in the same chat. It can edit the note, create notes and folders, and organize your work.

What You Can Do

Discuss before changing the note

Ask for ideas, comparisons, feedback, reviews, or research when you want advice first. AI Assistant replies in chat and leaves your note unchanged. Once you choose what to keep, ask it to add that content to the note. When you ask AI Assistant to draft, write, edit, or fix the note directly, it can make the requested change. You can also tell it to confirm with you before writing.

Edit and organize notes

Ask AI Assistant to draft or revise text, or to handle these actions:
  • Create a note or folder
  • Rename the current note
  • Move the current note to another folder

Use a Topic

Select a Topic to add instructions for a particular document type to the conversation. Inki may set a Topic automatically in an empty note based on what you enter. Before sending the next message, you can undo the selection from the notice that appears.

Attach files

You can attach up to 5 files per chat, with a combined limit of 512MB.
  • Images, video, and audio
  • PDFs, up to 1,000 pages per file
  • Office files (.docx, .xlsx, and .pptx)
  • Text files (.md, .markdown, .txt, .csv, .html, and .htm), up to 20,000 characters per file
Each video can be up to 10 minutes, and each audio file can be up to 2 hours. You can preview text, images, PDFs, audio, and video before sending. You can attach Office files, but they don’t have previews.

Search the web

When your request needs current or source-backed information, AI Assistant can search the web and use the results in its response.

Get help with Inki

Ask how a feature works or where to find a setting. AI Assistant answers from Inki’s public documentation.

Review Changes and Restore Safely

Edits to your note appear as diffs. A restore action appears when Inki can safely identify the original content. It may not appear after later edits or when the original state can no longer be restored safely.

Edit Long Notes

AI Assistant can focus on a specific section of a long note instead of replacing the whole note. Give it a clear target, such as “Shorten only the conclusion,” to keep the change focused. If Inki can’t edit the whole note safely, it keeps the existing text and suggests splitting the request, reloading the page, or trying the instruction again.

How to Use

  1. Click the “Chat” button
  2. Enter what you need
  3. Review the response and any changes to your note
  4. Add another instruction if needed. If a restore action is available, you can also return to the original content
