IKI.AI is an AI knowledge base and research assistant. You save links, PDFs, videos and notes, and its co-pilot answers questions grounded in that library instead of the open web.

About IKI.AI
What Is IKI.AI
IKI.AI is a web app and Chrome extension for people who read a lot and want to keep what they learn. You drop in articles, YouTube videos, PDFs and cloud files, and the platform tags them, builds a knowledge graph across them, and lets a co-pilot answer questions using only what you saved. The pitch is simple: a searchable library that reasons over your own material rather than the whole internet.
The problem it targets is information overload. Most people already have scattered notes, open tabs and half-read papers, and no single place where that material turns into something useful. IKI.AI turns that pile into a private library with an assistant attached. This IKI.AI review focuses on what it does well and where it still asks for patience.
The limits matter too. The base plan caps co-pilot use, and the features that make the tool interesting, like choosing your own language model and background research, sit two tiers up. Team features need the top plan, so a solo user pays the same ceiling as a small company.
Getting Started
- Create an account at app.iki.ai and pick a plan, starting free if you want to test it
- Install the Chrome extension so you can save webpages and videos with one click
- Add source material, such as a PDF, a YouTube link or a cloud storage folder, and let the platform tag and index it

Key features
AI Research Co-pilot
The co-pilot answers questions using the content you saved, not the whole web. It knows what you've read, pulls key takeaways from recent material and points you to related notes and highlights. Ask it to compare two papers in a collection and it works from those files, which keeps the answer tied to your sources.
Browser Extension for One-Click Saving
A Chrome extension saves webpages and videos along with your notes in a single click. You can clip an article, add a thought, and have both land in the right collection without leaving the page. It's the main way material gets into the library during a normal browsing session.
Knowledge Graph and Autotagging
The platform tags your material automatically and links concepts across items. Those relations power navigation: you can zoom into a detail or pull back for the big picture of a new topic. The graph also acts as storage, so your library stays organized as it grows rather than turning into a flat pile of files. Under the hood this retrieval layer works like a RAG assistant, pulling the right passages before the co-pilot answers.
Chat With Your Documents, Videos and Cloud Files
IKI.AI ingests PDFs, URLs, videos and files from connected cloud storage. On paid plans you get video transcription by the hour and a monthly document allowance. The point is that a question can span formats, so a video and a PDF on the same topic live in one collection you can query. This is the chat with your documents feature at work.
AI Writing Assistant
The writing assistant drafts inside the app, grounded in your own content instead of the open internet. It works from the collection you pick, which suits people who want a first draft that reflects their research. It's available from the Pro plan up.
Team Spaces and Shared Knowledge
A team space holds your group's documents, context and decisions in one shared library. Members read the same sources and build on shared material, which is useful for onboarding and for keeping decisions next to the documents behind them. Team spaces require the Teams plan.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Answers stay grounded in your saved sources, so you can trace claims back to a specific file
- Doubles as a note taking tool and second brain app, since saved items keep your own notes attached
- One-click browser extension makes saving articles and videos fast enough to do during normal reading
- Knowledge graph and autotagging keep a growing library organized without manual filing
- Handles PDFs, videos and cloud files in one place, so a question can span formats
- Free plan and a one-month Pro trial let you test the core workflow before paying
Cons
- The free Basic plan caps the co-pilot at 50 requests a month and limits you to 5 collections, which runs out fast for regular use
- Selecting your preferred language model and background agentic search sit on Pro and Researcher, so the base plan feels thin
- Team spaces need the top plan, which means a small team pays the $30 per seat rate before collaboration becomes useful
- It's a web app with a Chrome extension, so there's no mobile app for saving or reading on the go
Frequently asked questions
IKI.AI is used to store your research material and ask questions about it. You save articles, PDFs and videos, then use the co-pilot to summarize them, pull out key points and answer questions grounded in what you saved.
