Curiosity

Curiosity is a powerful AI copilot designed to streamline your workflow by creating a single, unified search experience for all your digital information. In today's fragmented digital environment, files, messages, and important data are scattered across numerous local folders and cloud applications like Slack, Gmail, and Dropbox. Curiosity tackles this problem head-on by connecting to all your data sources and providing a blazingly fast search engine that lets you find anything in an instant. It's more than just a search tool; it's a comprehensive productivity suite that lives on your desktop.

At its core, Curiosity indexes all your information locally on your computer, ensuring your data remains private and secure. This 'secure by default' approach is a key differentiator, giving users peace of mind that their sensitive information isn't being uploaded to the cloud. With a simple keyboard shortcut (Alt + Space), you can summon the Curiosity command bar, which serves as your central hub for action. From here, you can perform natural language searches, find files based on their content (even in scans), and access information from all connected apps without ever needing to switch windows.

How to use Curiosity

Getting started with Curiosity is straightforward. First, you download and install the desktop application on your Mac or Windows computer. Upon launching, you'll be prompted to connect your various accounts and local folders. This includes email accounts (Gmail, Outlook), cloud storage (Dropbox, Google Drive), and collaboration tools (Slack, Notion, etc.). Curiosity then begins the indexing process in the background, building a local search index. Once indexed, you can press 'Alt + Space' at any time to open the search bar. Simply start typing to find files, contacts, or app content. You can also use it to launch applications on your computer or join scheduled meetings directly. To leverage the AI features, you can select a document from the search results and ask questions, request a summary, or have it translated.

Core Features of Curiosity

• Unified Search: Connects to all your local folders and cloud apps, providing one search bar to find everything. It supports content search within documents, including scanned PDFs.
• AI Assistant: Interact with your documents through a chat interface. Ask questions, get summaries, translate text, and even get AI-generated replies for your emails. It offers the flexibility of using cloud AI or a local LLM for enhanced privacy.
• Command Bar & Launcher: More than just search, use it as a powerful command bar to launch applications, join meetings with a shortcut, and search specific websites like Google Maps or Wikipedia.
• Email and Calendar Integration: Consolidate all your email accounts into a single inbox within the app. Search, reply, and forward emails directly. View and join events from all your calendars.
• Spaces for Organization: Create virtual 'Spaces' to group related files, messages, and contacts without moving or duplicating the original items. This is perfect for organizing project-specific information.
• Secure and Private: All your data is stored and processed on your own computer. Curiosity does not upload your content to its servers, ensuring maximum privacy and security.
• Extensive Integrations: Works with a vast ecosystem of popular applications, allowing you to get productive immediately without changing your existing tools.

Use Cases for Curiosity

Curiosity is ideal for professionals, researchers, and anyone who deals with a large volume of digital information. For a project manager, it can instantly pull up a specific client email, a relevant Slack discussion, and the latest project plan from Dropbox with a single query. A researcher can use it to find specific passages within hundreds of research papers and then use the AI assistant to summarize key findings. For teams, the 'Workspaces' feature allows for a shared search across common resources, breaking down information silos and boosting collective productivity.

Advantages of Curiosity

The primary advantage of Curiosity is the immense time savings it offers. By eliminating the need to manually search through different applications, it is estimated to save users up to 20% of their time. Its speed is consistently praised by users. The focus on privacy with local data processing is a significant benefit for individuals and organizations concerned with data security. Furthermore, its multi-functional nature as a search tool, AI assistant, and app launcher consolidates several productivity tools into one, reducing clutter and context-switching.
