## What is remio?

remio is a desktop AI assistant for knowledge work that builds a personal knowledge base from material you already have. It captures web pages you browse, indexes local files, records and transcribes meetings, and connects to services such as Gmail, Google Drive, Microsoft 365, Slack and GitHub. Indexing, search, recording and transcription happen on the device. On top of that context an agent answers questions with links back to the original sources and produces deliverables, including PowerPoint decks that stay editable and can follow your existing templates. Users can pick among hosted models such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek and Kimi, bring an API key of their own, or run against a local model. remio runs on Windows 10 or later and on Macs with Apple silicon, with a companion mobile app and a Chrome extension.

## Key features

- **Automatic Capture**: Collects browsed web pages, local files, emails and meeting recordings into one searchable store without manual copying.
- **Ask remio**: Answers questions in chat across the whole knowledge base and cites the source material behind each answer.
- **Local Recording and Transcription**: Records online meetings without adding a bot to the call, and imports audio, video or podcast links.
- **Editable Presentations**: Generates or updates native PowerPoint files whose charts, shapes and animations can still be changed.
- **Model Choice**: Works with several hosted language models, your own API key or a locally running model.
- **Context for Other Agents**: Supplies organised context to general-purpose agents through a command-line interface.

## How remio works

1. **Link your sources**: Point remio at folders, accounts and services so it can collect material on its own.
2. **Let it build context**: remio organises what it gathers and keeps it current as your work changes.
3. **Ask for a result**: Chat with the agent; it retrieves the relevant context and tools and produces the answer or file.

## Use cases

- **Research Synthesis**: Pull together articles, PDFs and video lectures saved over weeks into a summary or literature review.
- **Meeting Follow-Up**: Ask what was decided across several recorded calls and get an answer with references.
- **Slide Drafts**: Produce a first version of a deck from internal reports using the company template.
- **Competitive Analysis**: Let browsing on competitor sites accumulate into an organised collection for planning.
- **Private AI Use**: Run AI features through your own API key so requests go via your provider account.
