Ask your AI assistant about your reading.

What you can ask

Ask the way you would ask a friend who reads everything you follow. A few ideas:

• The article you’re reading

  “Summarize what I’m reading and list the claims worth checking.”

• A station’s week

  “What happened in my Tech station in the last 3 days? Group by topic.”

• Search your feeds

  “Find articles about Rust async from this month and compare their views.”

• Saved articles and highlights

  “Turn my saved articles from last week, with my highlights, into study notes.”

• A quick briefing

  “Give me a five-minute briefing on today’s unread articles.”

• Tidy up, if you allow changes

  “Mark everything about the conference as read and star the two best pieces.”

How it works

1. 1

   Turn it on in KiJi

   Open Settings → Assistant and turn on Let assistants read your KiJi library. It stays off until you do.

2. 2

   Connect your app

   Pick your AI app and use its button: a one-click extension for Claude Desktop, an install link for Cursor and VS Code, and a command or a few lines of setup for Claude Code and Codex.

3. 3

   Ask

   Keep KiJi open and ask in your AI app. It reads from KiJi on your computer and can point you back to each article it used.

Private by design

Assistant access follows the same rule as the rest of KiJi: your library stays on your device.

• Off by default. Nothing is shared until you turn on Settings → Assistant → Let assistants read your KiJi library. You can turn it off again at any time.
• Read-only unless you allow changes. Assistants can read what you share. They can mark articles read, star them, or save them only if you also turn on Allow assistants to make changes, which is off by default. They cannot delete articles or change your feeds.
• Runs on your computer. KiJi answers the AI app directly on your computer. Your library is not sent to us or kept on any KiJi server.
• You choose what is shared. In Settings → Assistant, pick which stations assistants can see, and whether feeds without a station, saved articles, the article you’re reading, and your notes and highlights are included. Notes and highlights stay off until you turn them on.
• Content goes to the AI app you ask. When you ask an assistant about your reading, the articles it reads go to that AI app, which may send them to its AI service. That app’s own privacy policy applies to them.
• Reset Access. If you connected an app by web address, Reset Access in Settings → Assistant replaces its key: the old key stops working and every connected app is disconnected.

Set up your app

1. Open KiJi and go to Settings → Assistant.
2. Turn on Let assistants read your KiJi library.
3. Under What Assistants Can See, choose what to share.
4. Find your AI app in the list and use its button. KiJi fills in where it is installed on your computer.
5. Keep KiJi open while you ask. If it is closed, your assistant will tell you to open it.

Your AI app

The examples below assume KiJi is in the Applications folder on a Mac. The buttons in KiJi give you the right version for your computer, so copy from there when you can. If you move KiJi, copy the setup again.
