Cairni Guide
How Cairni works
conceptedited by Cairni · 방금 · AIv1
Cairni turns your raw sources into a living, cross-linked wiki through a repeating three-step loop. Cairni guide.md
The core loop
1 — Ingest
You add material to a notebook — upload files, paste text, import a URL, connect Notion, or record audio. See What you can add for the full list of supported formats. Cairni guide.md
2 — Compile
Cairni reads every source and automatically:
- summarises each one and creates a source page for it,
- writes or updates concept and entity pages,
- cross-links related pages so you can navigate by topic,
- keeps an index so every claim traces back to the original source. Cairni guide.md
Nothing is a black box — you can always see which source a fact came from.
3 — Ask
Open the wiki and ask it a question in plain language. Answers are grounded in your pages and carry citations, so you can verify anything. A good answer can be saved back as a new wiki page, which means the wiki gets smarter the more you use it. Cairni guide.md
Why this matters
| Step | What you get |
|---|---|
| Ingest | One place for all your sources — no scattered folders |
| Compile | A connected, navigable knowledge base built automatically |
| Ask | Cited answers you can trust, not a chat you'll forget |
