How is this different from Pocket or Instapaper?
Pocket has shut down, and Omnivore's hosted service has ended, though its software can be self-hosted. Read-it-later tools save articles; KnowMan also understands them. Articles organize themselves, you can ask questions about what you saved, and you can keep your decisions. You can bring supported Pocket or Omnivore content into KnowMan and check representative items after import.
Do I have to read what I save?
No. KnowMan reads the full text, so you can ask about an article you never opened.
Does the AI actually read my articles?
Yes. When you save an article, KnowMan reads the full content, not just the title, so answers can draw on specific passages, data points and arguments.
How is this different from just asking ChatGPT?
A general chatbot answers from its training data and the web. KnowMan answers from the articles you chose to save, and cites them so you can check.
Can I use it from Claude or Cursor?
Yes. KnowMan has an MCP server. Copy the setup from Settings into Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client.
Is my data private?
Your knowledge base is yours. You can export or delete it at any time. We do not sell your data. Saved text is sometimes sent to third-party AI providers to power features such as summaries and answers, and our privacy policy names them. We do not use your content to train our own models.
What browsers are supported?
The extension works in Chrome today. The web app works in any modern browser, including on mobile.
Can I import from Pocket, Instapaper, or Readwise?
Yes. Bring your library from Pocket, Instapaper, Omnivore, Readwise and Wallabag, or a browser bookmarks file. Check representative items after import.
How accurate is the AI?
Answers include citations from your library where they apply. You can click through to the original article to check any claim, because answers come from content you saved and trusted.
How does the free trial work?
Every new account gets 14 days of Pro, with no credit card. When it ends you stay on Free and keep everything you saved.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, no contracts. Downgrade to Free anytime and keep all your saved articles.
