Product peek

Capture a source. Get an answer you can verify.

The capture surface turns a saved link or file into a structured note, then scoped chat answers across your library and pins the answer to its source.

Where Mem wins

Mem is the right answer when you want notes that organize themselves and a fast, conversational way to recall what you wrote. If zero-effort capture-and-forget is the dream, Mem leans hard into it.

Where XESO wins

Recall in plain language — and every reply cites the exact note behind it, so you can trust it.

How XESO grounds answers — the citation floor

XESO answers only from passages it can cite. When a question’s retrieval falls below the citation floor, it says so — “I don’t have enough in your library to answer that” — instead of guessing. Every answer it does give links back to the exact saved note behind each claim.
  • Answers with citations — every reply pins to the exact note, so you can click through and trust it.
  • Source capture turns a YouTube link, article, or PDF into a structured note, not just free text.

Question: Which notes mention the Simplicity Contract?

XESO

Four notes in your library reference the Simplicity Contract: the product spec, the design token addendum, and two decision memos from March.

Product spec — Simplicity Contract

The Simplicity Contract is the governing constraint: every feature must reduce friction, not add it.

Mem

Mem can answer conversationally from your notes, but its replies don't pin every claim to the exact note it came from — so you can't always click straight through to verify the source.

Mem answers fluently; XESO shows the citation so you can check the source.

    Site colophon — xeso.ai

    • Type. Inter for text; JetBrains Mono for code and citations.
    • Motion. Interactions are budgeted at 300ms or less, and prefers-reduced-motion collapses the rest.
    • Access. Keyboard-first navigation, visible focus rings, and a skip-to-content link on every page.
    • Stack. Built with Next.js.
    • No dark patterns. No fake countdowns, no pre-ticked boxes, no invented scarcity.
