Ask AI is a docked pane, not a chatbot floating over everything. It searches your vault, reads the captures it finds, and cites them.
AI is off by default. In Settings → AI, add your own OpenAI key. Nothing leaves your Mac for any AI service until you do.
Press ⌘J. Ask a question and it searches your vault, reads what it finds, and answers with the sources shown as tiles you can open. If nothing matches, it says so rather than making something up.
Open a capture first, then ⌘J (or hover its card and press A). The capture comes along as context, with quick prompts to Summarize, Explain, or Analyze it.
