Knowbase

Knowbase lets individuals and teams store files (documents, presentations, audio, video and YouTube links) in a searchable Library and interact with that content via a ChatGPT-style chat. It transcribes audio and video to text, indexes uploaded content, and produces a conversational interface so you can ask questions about your collected knowledge. Knowbase is positioned as a personal "second brain" for organizing, searching and sharing knowledge captured in files and recordings. The product targets users who want to preserve learnings from meetings, courses, books and media and retrieve information conversationally.
