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
While using Ask, remio will auto-detect content of the item on another side, and may use it in query.

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.

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.
