Start a conversation
1
Open Chat
Select Chat in the sidebar. Your previous conversations are listed on the left, so you can pick up an earlier thread or start fresh.
2
Ask your assistant
Type into the Ask your assistant… box. Ask about your own thinking (“What have I been capturing about onboarding lately?”), a source you added, or a draft you’re developing.
3
Keep the thread
Each conversation is saved per workspace. Long-running threads — a project, a book you’re working through — can live as their own conversations you return to over time.
A thinking partner, not a ghostwriter
Most AI writing tools offer to write things for you. The PeerNotes assistant takes the opposite approach: the goal isn’t to produce text, it’s to improve yours.Critical questions
Ask the assistant to read a draft note and it surfaces the questions a careful reader would ask — the ones you need to answer before publishing.
Assumption spotting
It flags claims doing a lot of work without much support, so you can decide whether to back them up or rethink them.
Workspace recall
The assistant knows what’s in your workspace. Use it to resurface thoughts you captured weeks ago that bear on what you’re writing now.
On-demand, not intrusive
You invite the assistant in when you want it. It doesn’t monitor your writing or offer unsolicited feedback.
The agent behind the scenes
Chat is the conversation you start; the PeerNotes agent also works continuously in the background:- Organizing — clustering your new thoughts into topics as you capture them
- Connecting — linking related thinking across your workspace so themes surface on their own
The assistant works within one workspace at a time. Switch workspaces and your chat follows, with that workspace’s content as context.
