Ask a question, get an answer cited back to the exact passage in your own library.

Cited to the exact line

### Every answer links back to the source

An answer is only useful if you can check it. Each one points to the passage it came from, so you read the source and decide for yourself, instead of trusting a reply you cannot trace.

Across everything, not one file

### Your whole library, in one question

Most tools chat with a single PDF. Omphalis answers across everything you have saved, so a question can reach two things you read months apart and bring back both, each with its source.

Why this, not a generic chat tool

## Grounded in what you kept, and it shows its work.

- ### Grounded in your library
Answers come from what you chose to save, not the open web, so they stay about your material.
- ### Cited, so you can verify
Every answer links to the passage it came from. Read it, do not just take the reply on faith.
- ### Find, not just ask
Describe the thing you half-remember and it takes you to the piece and the exact spot.
- ### Nothing invented
When your sources do not answer the question, it says so instead of filling the gap.

Answers you can check, from the library you built.

Ask across everything you have kept, follow every answer back to its source, and find the thing you half-remember without the title.
