Askive is a private library for everything you save: photos, videos, audio recordings and documents. Add a file and Askive works out what's in it. Then just ask. ASK IN PLAIN LANGUAGE "What did the contractor say about the kitchen deadline?" "Which photo has the Wi-Fi password on the router?" Askive answers in a sentence or two and shows exactly where the answer came from. ANSWERS WITH PROOF Every answer cites its sources. Tap a citation to open the file at the right second of the video or recording, or the right page of the document. UNDERSTOOD AUTOMATICALLY Each item you add gets a clear title, a short summary, tags and key points. Audio and video also get a timestamped transcript you can read and tap to jump around. ONE PLACE FOR YOUR MEDIA • Photos and screenshots • Videos and screen recordings • Voice memos, meetings and lectures • PDFs and other documents PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your library is visible only to your account. No ads and no tracking. Delete any item, or your whole account, from inside the app whenever you want. Sign in with just your email: no password to remember.
