Ask remio

Ask remio is the AI-driven chat built into remio, which lets you ask questions in natural language and retrieves AI-generated answers from your notes, collections, captured web content & knowledge from LLM, complete with source citations.

Why it's helpful:

• Saves time searching through notes

• Gives smart summaries and explanations

• Lets you reuse answers as new notes

Accessing Ask

• Click "Ask" in the navigation bar for the full-screen chat.

• Use the remio Copilot button to open  Copilot sidebar. Great for asking questions while viewing a resource or writing a note.

• If the Search result does not meet your request, you can also Ask remio in the search box in natural language; it will also lead you to find the answer

Using the Ask page gives you full view of Ask, while the sidebar or global command provides quick, context-aware access (sharing the same chat history in the current version).

Start Asking

• Enter questions using natural language.

• Press Send button to submit.

• remio will start the streaming generation for an answer in real time.

• You can stop generation if needed.

• Once complete, remio displays the answer in the conversation. Responses may include citations from your knowledge base, marked with numbers. You can hover to see the evidence cards.

Choose Knowledge Scope

When using Ask in Copilot sidebar and it's a note or collection on the left, users can choose knowledge scope remio should search:

• Knowledge Base: Entire User Knowledge Base & Knowledge from LLM (as default)

• Knowledge from LLM: only use knowledge from LLM service to answer

• This Note: only talking about the note content, whether it's a Note or Collection on the left

• This Collection: when it's a Collection on the left, remio Ask will include all items linked to this Collection

Switch Models & LLM Service Providers

remio empowers you with full control over your AI experience and data privacy. You can easily choose how you want to interact with large language models directly within the "Ask" feature, ensuring your conversations remain secure.

• Use remio's Integrated Models: For convenience, select from our curated list of powerful models. All your interactions are handled with strict security and privacy protocols.

• Custom Your Own Key (For Ultimate Privacy): Connect your personal API key from providers like Open Router, OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, or X-AI. When you use your own key, your prompts and the AI's responses are sent directly to the provider, bypassing our servers entirely. This means remio never sees or stores your conversation data, guaranteeing the highest level of security.

Check Recent Questions

You can hover to Ask in navigation bar and check recent question history. And users can single click 1 question to locate it.

Start a new session

For Version 1.5.0 and Up, you can add a new session to start a new conversation with remio in case the result was mixed up by the previous conversation.

Name the session

remio will automatically generate a title for each independent session. You don't need to manually add it.
