Cluing
Cluing is a knowledge capture and AI research tool to save web material, organize topics and clusters, and ask grounded AI copilot questions.
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.
The product is available through a web dashboard and browser extensions, with mobile dashboard access also supported. Its source pages position it for individual research as well as team collaboration, including shared clusters, topic permissions, and team memory on paid plans.
