Cluing
Cluing is a knowledge capture and AI research tool that helps people save material from the web, organize it into topics and clusters, and ask an AI copilot questions grounded in that context. It also supports collaboration, shared workspaces, and team-oriented research workflows.
Overview
Cluing is a knowledge capture and research tool built for people who work across many online sources. It combines browser-based saving, a structured knowledge base, and an AI copilot so users can collect material and then ask questions against that context later.
