Documents

Your personal knowledge base

Chalie can create and search documents — notes, meeting summaries, reference material, recipes, anything you want to write down and be able to find later. Documents are stored locally on your device and are searchable by content.

Getting started:

• “Find my meeting notes from last week.”
• “Create a document with my Wi-Fi password and the router login details.”
• “Save this as a note: [dictate content].”

Creating documents

Tell Chalie what to write and it creates a document:

• “Write a summary of the meeting we just had and save it.”
• “Create a document called ‘Bread recipe’ with this recipe: [paste or dictate].”
• “Make a note about what the doctor said — my next appointment is in three months and I should take vitamin D daily.”

Documents get meaningful names automatically based on their content, or you can specify one.

Finding documents

Search by content, title, or time:

• “Find my notes on the supplier meeting.”
• “Do I have anything saved about the lease renewal?”
• “What documents did I create this month?”
• “Find the document with my account number in it.”

Chalie searches the full text of your documents, not just the title.

Reading and editing

Once Chalie finds a document, you can read it, update it, or ask Chalie to modify it:

• “Read me the bread recipe.”
• “Add a note to the meeting summary that the follow-up call is Thursday at 2pm.”
• “Update the Wi-Fi document with the new password.”

Uploading files

You can also upload files directly to Chalie through the interface. Chalie can read PDFs, text files, and other documents and answer questions about them:

• “Here’s the contract — are there any unusual terms I should know about?”
• “Summarise this PDF for me.”
• “What does this document say about the cancellation policy?”

Privacy

All documents are stored locally in Chalie’s data directory on your machine. They are never uploaded to external services unless you explicitly ask Chalie to send them somewhere.
