You can keep your research next to your draft.

Keep quotes, research, and half-formed ideas in Koubou termNoteA page for research and ideas that sits outside your documents. It can float next to your draft and has its own AI chat.. Float them next to your draft while you write, and use any of them in a prompt.

Research is only useful where you can see it.

Research usually lives somewhere else: a notes app, a browser tab, a chat from last week. You switch back and forth, and the AI never sees it unless you paste it in.

In Koubou, notes live in the same place as your draft. You can see them while you write, and the AI can use them when you ask.

How it works in Koubou.

  1. Make a note

    Paste in a quote, write an idea, or keep an outline. Notes are separate from your documents, so they don't clutter your project.

  2. Float it

    Open a note as a card that floats over your work. Move it, resize it, and keep a few open at once.

  3. Sort it

    Add tags for what a note is about and a color for which pile it is in, then filter by either.

  4. Use it with AI

    Add a note to a prompt by name, attach it to a Koubou termRoleWho the AI should be for a task. It holds a voice, rules, good and bad examples, attached knowledge, and, if you want, its own model., or send AI answers into a note to keep for later.

  5. Turn it into a document

    When a note grows into a draft, turn it into a document. You can turn a document into a note too.
