Getting Started

Get up and running with Mindweave in just a few steps. This guide walks you through creating your account, saving your first piece of knowledge, and exploring the core features.

1. Create Your Account

Sign up for Mindweave using your Google account. Click Sign In on the home page and authorize with Google OAuth. Your account is created automatically on first sign-in.

After signing in, you can optionally add an email and password in your account settings for credential-based login.

2. Save Your First Note

Navigate to the Capture page from your dashboard. Here you can:

Write a quick note with a title and body text.
Save a link by pasting a URL — Mindweave will extract the page title automatically.
Upload a file to store alongside your notes.

Add some tags to keep things organized, or let the AI auto-tagger suggest tags for you. Learn more about content capture.

3. Explore Your Library

Once you have saved some content, head to the Library to browse, filter, and sort your knowledge base. Use the filter bar to narrow down content by type, tags, or date range.

4. Search Your Knowledge

Mindweave offers two powerful search modes:

Keyword search — Traditional full-text search across titles, bodies, and tags.
Semantic search — AI-powered search that understands meaning, not just keywords. Search for concepts and get results even when exact words don't match.

Learn more about search.

5. Ask Questions

The Knowledge Q&A feature lets you ask natural language questions and get answers drawn from your saved content. It uses retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) with Google Gemini to provide accurate, sourced answers.
