Prepped before you walk in

It preps you, captures your meetings, and brings things back. Everything already lives in one place.

It's all here

First, everything just lands.

Notes & voice

Say it, jot it.
It's captured.

A quick note, a voice memo on the move, or a whole meeting. Monk turns it into clean, searchable text.

Idea for the paper: the light quantum first, then work outward to the spectra. Tell Max before he asks for more.

Summary · Solvay Review
  • Agreed: the matrix and wave pictures are equivalent.
  • Funding for the Berlin experiments still open. Max to confirm.
  • Eclipse verification slips to spring; Arthur extends the observing run.
  • Action for Albert: send the revised paper
  • Action for Max: confirm the additional funds

Ask Monk

Ask across everything you've kept.

Because it's all connected, you can ask a question and get a straight answer, drawn from your own notes, meetings, and saved reads, with the sources cited so you can check. Switch on web search when you want the latest from outside, too.

Asked
Where did we land with Max on practical uses of the quantum theory?
Searching your library: the Solvay thread, plus related notes and meetings. Searching the web: nothing newer than your own notes.
Answer From 3 of 12 sources · 2.1s
You agreed the theory is ready to leave the blackboard — the photocell first 1. The funding for the Berlin experiments is still open, and Max is the one to confirm it 1. And Niels's half-serious wager: once thinking machines exist, and each of us keeps our own copy of what's known, the century's work happens in a decade 2.

Meeting prep

Walk in already knowing.

Before each meeting, Monk gathers the people, the last conversation, and what's still open, so you're never starting cold.

Prep · Solvay Review · in 5 min
  • Last time, you and Max discussed the demonstrations and the timeline.
  • Still open: confirm the funding for the Berlin experiments.
  • Max tends to bring notes, and a question about cost.

You've crossed paths with Niels three times. He promised his reply to your light-box argument "next week." That was three weeks ago. He still owes you a rebuttal.

Grows with you

It keeps getting richer.

Monk doesn't just hold what you give it. It brings new things in, and lets your other tools add to it, so your knowledge keeps growing on its own.

Research digests

A briefing,
just for you.

Monk keeps an eye on the topics you keep coming back to and brings a short, researched update on its own schedule. You stay current without chasing it, and what it learns feeds everything else.

The photocell has left the lab, Cambridge is re-measuring Arthur's plates, and there's early talk of machines that reason — closer than anyone thinks. Pulled together while you slept.

Extend

Your context,
in any AI you use.

Monk can now share your knowledge with Claude or any AI app that speaks MCP. When they ask, Monk can share only relevant context straight from your Mac through a private tunnel — never stored along the way. They can write back into Monk too, so your memory keeps growing while you work elsewhere. You decide what exactly is shared.

* You would want to keep Monk running on your Mac for this to work.
