Most people use JustJot for one job: a fast place to type. That's the floor, not the ceiling. The same notes you already keep can answer questions, generate study material, and turn into finished, distribution-ready drafts — if you know which capability to reach for.
Below are seven features that change what your library does, not just where it lives. For each one: what it is, and the specific moment it earns its place. Ordered by how much leverage it adds per minute of effort.
1. Chat with your sources, not the whole internet
Point a chat at a set of your own notes and ask questions answered only from those notes — each claim linked back to the span it came from. This is retrieval-augmented chat scoped to a source set you choose, so the answer can't drift into things you never wrote.
Reach for it when: you have ten tabs of research notes and a question whose answer is somewhere in them. Instead of re-reading, ask. The citations let you verify in one click rather than trusting the summary.
2. Describe the feed you want — in plain language
Type what you want to see ("posts about LLM evaluation from people I follow, last two weeks, ranked by engagement") and JustJot turns it into a saved feed you can pin and return to. It's a natural-language query compiled into a ranking spec, not a folder you maintain by hand.
Reach for it when: your home feed is too broad and your follow list is too noisy. One sentence gives you a durable, named lens — and you can keep several.
3. Turn any note into flashcards and a quiz
Select a note or a group of sources and generate derived flashcards and a quiz from them. The cards and questions are pulled from your material, so they test what you actually captured rather than generic facts.
Reach for it when: you've read or written something you need to retain, not just file. Recall practice beats re-reading for memory, and this removes the friction of making the cards yourself.
4. Ask a question, get a cited report
Deep research takes a question, plans sub-questions, runs them through web search and source fetching, and synthesizes a multi-section article with inline source links and a numbered reference list — saved as a normal note you can edit and publish.
Reach for it when: the question is bigger than a single search and you want a sourced starting document, not ten blue links. Treat the output as a first draft with its citations attached, then verify the load-bearing claims.
5. Read mode for the things you mean to finish
/read gives a long note a focused reader: a progress bar, a table of contents, auto-resume where you left off, and an optional recall pass that pairs with the flashcards from #3.
Reach for it when: your library has become a graveyard of half-read long pieces. Auto-resume removes the "where was I" tax that quietly kills follow-through.
6. Agent runs that chain actions, not just answer
Describe a task and an agent plans a sequence of JustJot operations — search, draft, summarize, classify — and executes them under the same permission rules you have, with a visible step log. The control surface is the action space, so it does things, not only talks about them.
Reach for it when: the work is multi-step and mechanical ("find every note tagged Q3, pull the open questions, draft a summary"). You describe the outcome; the step log keeps it auditable.
7. One piece, repurposed for every channel
Repurpose takes one long note and emits channel-tuned variants — an X thread, a LinkedIn post, a Threads version — each rewritten for the format's tone and length rather than copy-pasted.
Reach for it when: you've published something good and want its reach without rewriting it five times. Pair it with scheduling to space the variants out.
The decision rule
If you're choosing where to spend the first ten minutes, anchor on what you're trying to do:
| You want to… | Reach for | Why it's the highest-leverage start |
|---|---|---|
| Get answers from what you already saved | #1 Chat with sources | Lowest effort, immediate payoff, verifiable |
| Remember what you read or wrote | #3 Flashcards + #5 Read mode | Recall practice with zero card-making |
| Produce a sourced document fast | #4 Deep research | Turns a question into an editable draft |
| Get more reach from finished work | #7 Repurpose | Multiplies output you already made |
The rule of thumb: start with #1. It costs nothing to set up, works on the notes you have today, and the citations mean you can trust — or check — every answer. Once chatting with your own sources feels normal, the rest of the list is just the same library doing more jobs.
