Imagine you could remember anything you’ve written in Workflowy. Even better, what if you could connect the dots across your notes in seconds?
We’ve spent a lot of time (too much?) thinking about how AI could make Workflowy better.
After testing many ideas (thanks to everyone who participated), we’ve focussed on a simple problem:
A note is only valuable if you can find it when you need it.
So, we’ve built something simple: a chat that knows all about your notes.
Use it to:
- Dig up a half-remembered idea.
- Join scattered thoughts.
- Rediscover insights buried in years of Workflowy notes.
We’ve been surprised by the unexpected connections. We think you will be too.
How to Use It
Once the feature is available to you (more on that below):
- Press the ✨ button at the bottom right to open the chat.
- Type a question – it knows about your notes.
- Press ‘Use this page only‘ to focus on just the current page.
How we’ve used it:
- “Summarise what Jesse and I discussed about improving the mobile app”
- “How should I structure a new design system?”
- “Find any notes on product metrics”
- “What have I written about productivity in the last year?”
- “What goals did I set for building the journal feature?”
Open Beta: Free for Everyone
During our Open Beta, this feature is available to everyone, starting with Pro subscribers first, then Free plan users.
You might occasionally run into queues if we get an unexpectedly high usage load, but otherwise, you are free to chat with your notes as much as you’d like.
The feature is not available to everyone immediately; we’re rolling it out gradually to prevent overload. Watch for the in-app message in the coming days, it’ll be hard to miss.
On Privacy
This feature is entirely opt-in.
If you choose to enable it, your notes will be shared with trusted third-party partners (OpenAI, Anthropic, Voyage AI) solely to power the AI features. Your notes will not be used to train their models or for any other purpose. For details, see the Workflowy AI Terms.
