This AI Second Brain App Changed the Way I Write and Study – TextCortex AI Assistant

The video discusses the capabilities of TextCortex, an AI writing assistant. The speaker starts by highlighting TextCortex as the best AI writing assistant they’ve tried. It emphasizes the AI’s ability to learn and mimic the user’s writing style from uploaded notes, making it possible to generate content in one’s own style. The AI is positioned as more than just a writing tool, with unique features that aid in studying and managing information effectively.

One of the core features discussed is the Knowledge Base, where users can train the AI with their data, including personal notes, URLs, PDFs, and reading highlights. This personalized data source allows the AI to provide tailored responses and suggestions, making TextCortex stand out from generic AI tools. The video then demonstrates how to create a Knowledge Base and upload various types of data for AI training, making it accessible for various use cases.

The video highlights TextCortex’s versatility, whether it’s used as a writing assistant, a research tool, or a study companion. The Knowledge Base feature transforms TextCortex into a valuable resource, helping users organize, retrieve, and generate content efficiently. Overall, the video provides insights into TextCortex’s capabilities and how it can benefit users across different domains of work, study, and research.

    1. Looks interesting, definitely more polished than Elephas and Embra. But dam your pricing is way too high, £84 for unlimited.. I don’t use a lot but I hate these per word plans.

      Give us option for our own api key with a reduced monthly fee for the app and updates?

  1. A really comprehensive review that shows how this AI tool is different from anything else we can currently find on the market. Awesome video!

  2. Is it another embeddings + vector similarity search tool ? Or does it fine tune itself on the data you feed it ? How does it compare to other tools that do similar things that you’ve tested before ? (like unriddle for example)

    1. +1 to these questions. After mem announced their recent updates I’ve been shopping around for alternatives but their websites are essentially copy pasting each other’s features.

      It’s nice to know the technical specifics on why one platform could be better or worse than another.

    2. @@JLeeAgency Yes definetely, I’ve tested a lot of products using embeddings to “talk to your data”, I found them all disappointing, it often can’t find an answer that is obviously present in the dataset. The only thing that works well for me is using something like Poe with Claude 2, upload a document in the 100k token context, that way all the data is in the prompt, no embeddings. The obvious limitation is that 100k context is still not enough to have all your data like you would with a vector embedding database.

  3. This is certainly appealing. As a doctoral student who is regularly looking for ways to streamline research/writing and improve knowledge retention, I’m curious to learn how this might be used effectively in my doctoral studies. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

    1. Even I’m doing my PhD and this caught my attention. I will start exploring this tool.

  4. Great video, as always! Quick question though – what is the countdown timer that runs at the top of your screen (at 3 minutes and 37 seconds into your video)?
    Thank you

    1. True but like 10$ is literally what people spend fast food so personally I see it as going to get fast food . So I sacrifice getting fast food for a subscription monthly

  5. Whoa I’m super curious on what that thing is on the top of the screen. 16% of the day 😂

  6. Wondering how this compares to Mem Ai for those who are only interested in the chat knowledge base feature.

    1. me too. id love to see a comparison. more than that id love to see text cortex knowledge base integrated with heptabase somehow

    2. I haven’t tried this app yet, but it looks similar to Mem which I’ve been using for over a year. Mem’s AI Chat is very good, but this Cortex app seems to have a better user interface, and it allows for separate Knowledge Bases. The Cortex premium subscription is pretty steep.

  7. Are you sure it is as easy as you say to turn markdown files into pdfs. i tried to do 30 or so at one time using the converter you recommended and it wasn’t possible…seemed to freeze
