Feature reference

Tap the big button to talk to Rill, or hold it to record a voice note and let go to send it. No menus, no friction. On web, the browser mic is used — same transcription pipeline as iOS.

Pick an image from your library OR snap one on the spot. Rill's vision pass describes it so it's recallable later, and detects smart types automatically (business cards, recipes, events, Wi-Fi cards, receipts).

Upload a document and Rill extracts the text, indexes it, and makes it searchable alongside your voice notes and photos. Use Open or QuickLook later to view, share, print, or AirDrop the original.

Tap Scan on your phone and point the camera at any paper — Rill finds the document's edges, straightens the perspective, cleans up the lighting, and auto-captures, page after page. A single page becomes a smart capture (receipts, business cards, and events are detected automatically); multiple pages become one searchable PDF. Scanning is part of the iPhone app, which uses Apple’s VisionKit, the same engine dedicated scanner apps use.

Search is for finding a known thing; the Captures feed is for browsing. Open Captures to scroll your whole history newest-first, grouped by day, and tap any entry to open it — a quick way to confirm something landed without searching for it.

Capture anything, anywhere in Rill, and it arrives on /journal by itself — no word to remember — placed in the day and sorted by kind (Task, Idea, Note). When several captures circle the same subject, Rill puts them under one heading in time order: the thought at 10, the return to it at 2, the one at 4, each still in its own words at its own time. The grouping is arithmetic over embeddings Rill already holds, so it runs on every plan; naming a group is the AI part, and without it a group is headed by its own first entry. The trigger word still works when you want to mark something for a particular day. Tap any entry and Rill will make it a to-do, set a reminder, draft an email or a text message, build it into a document or a business plan, start a topic from it, or hand it to one of your agents — you add the context first, and it is read as instruction rather than decoration. Text messages are composed for your own Messages app with the number and body filled in; you press send. “Summarise the last …” reads back any stretch you name — 4h, 90m, 3d, 2w, explicit from and to times, or plain words like “the past four hours”; the entries and their grouping come back on any plan, the written synthesis on a paid one. Underneath: what your connectors brought in and what your agents ran, then the receipts and documents you filed. Move between days with the date navigation, or link straight to one with ?date=. At an hour you choose, the day compiles into a dated page, and one push asks whether you want to look at it first — the journal’s only interruption, off in a tap. The trigger word, that hour, and the nudge are yours to set on the page. The daily notepad lives at the bottom of the day.

Tap Paste — or just press ⌘V on the capture screen — and whatever you copied becomes a capture: a passage of text, a screenshot, an image. Paste a link and Rill reads the page behind it, so you keep the article rather than the URL.

On the web (and in the iPhone app, coming soon), tap Record — on a meeting from your calendar, or ad-hoc for anything. Rill captures the conversation, then transcribes it and writes a summary, key points, decisions, and action items, all saved into your memory. While recording, tap "Flag this moment" whenever something important is said — Rill looks closer at those points when it writes the summary. When you stop, you don't have to wait: once the recording is sent you can close the app, and the notes appear in Meetings when they're written (your phone tells you). A recording is kept on your device until Rill has it — if the upload fails, or the app closes mid-meeting, it is offered back the next time you open the recorder. On iOS the mic captures the room. On web your laptop mic is used, and for a video call in a browser tab you can also share that tab's audio so everyone on the call is in the recording. Current and Confluence include meeting hours every month, and the Meetings add-on adds more to any plan, Stream included; Pricing shows how many. When the hours are used, recording waits for the next month; nothing is charged after the fact.

Every Rill account has a personal capture address (find it in Settings → Ways to reach Rill → Capture by email). Forward any email — a booking confirmation, a newsletter, a thread you want to remember — and it lands as a searchable capture. Rill preserves the From, Subject, and body, so the full context is there when you search later.

Tap the sphere and just talk; Rill listens, shows your words as you say them, and acts the moment you pause. "Remind me to call Ann on Saturday" sets a reminder and says so. "Journal, a good day with the kids" goes in today's journal. A question gets an answer, out loud, and you can talk over it. Anything else is kept in memory — and if it sounded like something to do, Rill asks once: "want it as a to-do for Tuesday?" A yes or a no, spoken or tapped, settles it. Hold the sphere instead for a single quick recording with no conversation. The field under the sphere takes the same sentences typed. Every entry lands in the day's journal with its own actions — make it a to-do, set a reminder — so a recording can become a task when you look at it, not only when you make it.

Settings → Bring your past in → Import files and Evernote, or drop an .enex on the import page. Notes arrive whole, attachments included, each kept at the date you wrote it, so recall places them in your real history rather than today. Any size works; a large export runs as a job you can leave. For a notebook you keep using, connect Evernote in Integrations instead and Rill reads it continuously.

As you type in the recall bar, Rill streams a small strip of your actual captures ranked by honest similarity. Tap one to open the original — PDF, photo, audio, text, all native. Built for finding the thing you remember, not summarizing what you wrote.

Type a question in plain language — "what was the idea about gardening?" Press Enter and Rill returns one synthesized answer with up to three cited captures. Refine the question and ask again. Never a feed, never a pile. Unlike a search engine's ranked links, this is one answer, grounded in your own captures.

Tap Drift below the recall bar. Rill picks ONE past capture worth re-seeing — something dormant, an unfinished thread, a moment from this day last year. A small badge tells you why now. Proactive, not reactive — the past never interrupts unannounced, but it doesn't wait to be asked either.

Open the constellation icon to see a full-screen black-field map of every theme in your captures. Toggle 2D / 3D, pinch to zoom, drag to rotate. Type a keyword to light up the themes it touches — by meaning, not just the exact word. Tap any node to drill back to the original captures.

Stream layer adds your saved articles and other reference captures onto the Constellation as sky-blue diamonds (vs the cluster-tinted circles of your own captures). Dashed light edges link a saved item to the topic it resonates with — at a glance you can see where what you read connects into what you think.

Open /collections to browse every concept Rill has identified across your captures — auto-organized, not manually sorted. Each collection shows the captures that shaped it. Tap to drill into any theme, link new captures, or see how a concept evolved over time. A folder that organizes itself.

Snap a business card and Rill detects it, pulls name, company, role, email, and phone, then offers "Save Jane Doe?" — tap Add to Contacts and Apple's native sheet opens with the fields pre-filled. Or tap Share / AirDrop to send the vCard. To keep them in Rill instead, use Scan a paper card in Cards (or text Rill the photo with "scan this card"): you check what was read, and nothing is saved until you say so. They go into People, noted "met via a scanned card" with the day, with an offer to remind you to follow up; the card's photo is kept only if you choose. Reading a card uses 1 credit.

Snap a recipe from a magazine, screenshot, or photo. Rill extracts the title, ingredients, instructions, time, and servings — then opens with a checklist of ingredients you can tick off as you cook and numbered steps. Tap Print to send to any AirPrint printer.

Snap an event poster, ticket, or schedule. Rill pulls the title, date, time, location, and url, then offers "Add to your calendar?" — tap once and Apple's native event editor opens with everything pre-filled.

Snap the Wi-Fi card at a café or hotel. Rill reads the SSID, password, and security, then offers "Join this network?" — tap once and iOS connects. Or Copy Password to use it elsewhere.

Snap a receipt and Rill extracts the merchant, total with currency, and date. Open it later and the receipt lens lays it out cleanly with a Share / Email button — useful for expense logs and tax season.

Forward a booking confirmation, warranty email, subscription receipt, utility bill, or insurance document to your Rill address — or snap a photo of one. Rill auto-classifies it and extracts the structured fields: confirmation number, dates, amounts, policy numbers, loyalty numbers, seat assignments, and more. Open the capture to see a clean card view with one-tap Copy for confirmation codes, a Pay Now button for bills, and a Cancel link for subscriptions. All searchable. Applies to: travel bookings (flights, hotels, cars, trains, cruises), warranties, subscriptions, bills, and insurance documents. Rill also quietly flags one of these once its date has passed — a bill likely paid, a warranty likely expired, a trip likely over — as a small Drift-style nudge you can act on or dismiss; it never deletes anything on its own.

Settings → Bring your past in. Upload an export from Day One, Apple Notes, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Reddit, Kindle Highlights, or your ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini history — every entry lands with its original date, so recall, Drift, and your Constellation light up with your actual past instead of starting from zero.

Settings → Bring your past in → ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini. Upload the conversations export each provider gives you, and every prompt you wrote becomes its own searchable capture — titled and dated like the original conversation. Only your own words come in, not the assistant's replies, so your memory stays about what you were exploring, not a copy of someone else's answers.

The Rill browser extension detects when you're on chatgpt.com, claude.ai, or gemini.google.com and adds a "Save this conversation" button alongside the usual save-page/save-selection options — a fast way to bring a single conversation in without waiting for a bulk export.

Ask Rill to email someone, reply to a thread, or put something on your calendar, and it drafts the whole thing in your voice. Nothing goes out until you tap Send (or say "yes" in a spoken conversation). It reads your recent mail when the answer is likely there, and keeps none of it. For work that takes a while — comparing quotes, a research question — Rill can carry on in the background; you can close the app and you are told when it is done, with anything it wants to send waiting for your approval.

Rill asks before anything reaches someone else. For a few low-risk kinds of thing, such as holding time on your own calendar or tidying your email, you can give it a standing OK: tap "Do this, and allow similar ones without asking" on a card in the conversation or in the Agents inbox, reply YES ALWAYS by text (plain YES approves just the one), or add one in Settings. Each OK has limits and an end date. Rill goes ahead only inside them, tells you every time, and offers Undo when it can. Anything public, anything that deletes, spends over your limit or goes to someone new always asks, and account changes, passwords and moving money never run on their own. See and stop every OK in Settings, What Rill can do on its own.

Ask Rill to watch something and tell you: "tell me when tickets for the Celtics go on sale", "watch this TV and tell me when the price drops", "check my flight tomorrow morning and text me if it is delayed", "has Acme replied? check every few hours", or "every weekday at 7, text me my day". Rill looks on the schedule you set, using the web, your mail, your calendar and your memory, and tells you only when there is news (or every time, if you ask). It only looks: it never buys, books or sends on its own, and it reads a website only where that site's terms allow it. Up to 10 at once; see and stop them in Settings, Keeping an eye on. Part of the paid plans.

Add Rill's iMessage number to a group, then say "Rill" there (or the name you gave it): from then on it is yours in that group. It answers only when someone says its name or replies to it, and the first time it speaks it tells everyone it is your AI assistant and how to stop it; anyone can say "Rill, stop". Ask it things for the group ("Rill, what's the weather at the lake Saturday?", "Rill, find us a table for six near the theatre"). It never shares your memory, calendar or email there unless you ask it to in that group. Other people cannot make it act: what they ask for comes to you privately, and anything you ask for that would go out (an email, a booking, a call) is sent to you privately to approve. Say "Rill, only answer me", "Rill, answer everyone" or "Rill, leave"; manage groups in Settings, Group chats. Needs your own number linked in Text Rill. iMessage only: WhatsApp allows groups only for verified official business accounts. Part of the paid plans.

Ask Rill for a web page, in the app or by text: "make me a page for the family reunion", "put the Portland trip plan on a page I can share", "a one-page site for my consulting". It writes it from what you said and what it knows, lays it out cleanly for phones and computers, and gives you a private preview link. Nothing is public until you say so: reply YES, tap Publish on the card, or publish it in Settings, Your pages. Then it lives at hellorill.com/p/... for anyone with the link; search engines are asked not to list it unless you allow it. Change it by asking ("add the parking details"); changes stay private until you publish them. Take it down or delete it any time. Your email, phone or address appear only if you ask for them, and Rill lists any personal details before you publish. Part of the paid plans.

Make a digital business card for each part of your life (Work, Personal, a board seat): your name, photo, title, company, phone numbers, email addresses, website, address, social links, links of your own, a short bio, and what goes before and after your name (Dr., Jr., MBA). Add your company logo and show it across the top of the card (its plain background cut out and its colours fitted to your card colour, or left as they are), beside your name in its own shape, or fitted in the circle; the circle shows your photo, your logo or your initials, as you choose. Add a tagline under the logo or at the bottom. Pick a layout (Classic, Centered or Minimal) and a colour: one of eight deep or six light colours, a gradient, or your own brand colour, taken from your logo or typed in, adjusted if needed so text on it stays easy to read. Your address is kept as street, city, state and ZIP code, written the way its country writes it, with a link to open it in Maps. Each card shows only what you put on it, and you can switch a part off without deleting it. Each has its own link (hellorill.com/c/...), a QR code to show on screen, and a Save contact button that puts you in the other person's contacts, photo included. Add your Book time with me link, an Ask my AI link to your Virtual Me, one of your published pages or a calendar link; each shows only while it is switched on. Share a card by link, text or email, or ask Rill, in the app or by text: "make a card for my board work", "turn off my phone number on my work card", "what's my card link?", "send my work card to Dana" (Rill asks you before anything is sent to anyone). Tap to share: an iPhone cannot act as an NFC card itself, so the Rill app for iPhone (from its next update) writes your link onto a blank NFC card or sticker, and Chrome on Android can write one from the Cards page; any phone that taps it opens your card. People can share their details back, with their consent: they land in People, noted with the card and the day, Rill tells you the way you chose, and offers a reminder to follow up. They can add their company and job title, and you can download everyone who shared back as a spreadsheet. Each card also makes an email signature (four styles) with your card link and QR code, a background for video calls in your card's colours or a gradient, and a QR code you can print, with your logo in the middle. For each card you see views, contact saves and details shared back, counted by Rill itself with no trackers. Search engines are asked not to list a card unless you allow it. Scan a paper card someone hands you: Rill reads it, you check it, and they go into People (1 credit a card). Ask Rill to fill in a contact's public company details (website, name and logo, each with where it came from; half a credit), only for people in your People and only when you ask or turn it on. Send contacts to your own HubSpot, Salesforce or Pipedrive, or to a Google Sheet Rill keeps for you, through a connection you already have (half a credit a contact); nothing is sent on its own unless you switch it on for a card. Free includes one card; Stream holds 3, Current 10, Confluence as many as you need.

Ask Rill, in the app or by text, and it makes the thing itself: an image from your words, or a photo you sent changed ("make this look like a watercolour"); a short video with sound, 4 to 8 seconds (it takes a minute or two and arrives in the same thread; videos use more credits); a real slide deck from what you discussed, built the way Rill Decks builds one (the argument first, then the slides, then a review) and editable in Decks; a spreadsheet (Excel or CSV) of a comparison, a budget or a list, with live totals; or a PDF or Word document. Each is kept in your Rill and handed to you where you asked: a card in the app, the picture or file itself on WhatsApp, a picture by text message (a deck or spreadsheet comes as a link to your Rill there), an attachment by email. Part of the paid plans.

Ask anything the web can answer ("steakhouses open tonight", "what is on this weekend"), in the app, by text, by email or on a call: Rill searches the web, reads the top pages, and answers with a pick and its sources. On Stream, Current and Confluence; each search uses 1 credit. Or ask about a public web page: paste a link, or ask something a page can answer ("what are the hours on the museum's site?"). Rill reads the page the way your own browser shows it, running the page's scripts when it needs to, and answers from it with the link and when it was read. It reads a few pages for each question, never a whole site. It never signs in, never fills in a form, and never gets past a paywall, a sign-in or a bot check: when a page is walled off, it says so and gives you the link. Doing something on a site for you, such as booking, and checking a page on a schedule still follow that site's own terms for AI assistants. Part of the paid plans.

Ask what is playing at a theater, or at "my local theater" (the one Google lists nearest your home city), for today, tomorrow, this weekend or a date. Rill works out the dates in your time zone and answers from Google's showtimes, or from the theater's own page for a day Google does not list, and says which, when it was read, and gives the theater's link. When Google lists the days you asked for, the list comes to you whole, written by Rill itself rather than retyped: every date, every film, every start time, and plainly any date no source showed. A long list comes one day per message. By SMS you get a link to the full list in Rill instead; reply FULL to have it sent as texts. Part of the paid plans.

Ask what is on near you: "any events in Portland this weekend?", "anything fun tonight?", "what's happening Saturday?". Rill works out the dates in your time zone, reads Google's event listings and your town's own calendars, and keeps only events whose date the sources confirm, with the time, place and price they state. You get the best six or so, by day, one line each with an emoji for what it is, then Rill's pick for the weekend. Say "yes" to "Want the links?" for a page with every event's details and tickets. Ask "tell me more about the wine sail" for what it is, the price, whether it is sold out and the next open dates, from the event's own page, with its link. Rill never buys tickets for you. Part of the paid plans.

Ask for an itinerary, a comparison, a letter or a checklist as a document and Rill writes a real PDF or Word file, kept in your Rill with a link. Ask it to move or cancel something on your calendar and it shows you the change to approve; nothing changes until you tap Approve or reply YES.

Text Rill by SMS or on WhatsApp — the same Rill, with your memory (iMessage is coming soon). You link your number by sending a one-time code from it, so nobody can link a number that isn't theirs. When Rill drafts an email or an invite by text, it shows you and waits for YES. Reply STOP at any time to unlink the number, or HELP for help. Send it photos and screenshots, PDFs and Word files, voice notes and short videos too: it reads them, keeps them in your Rill, and answers. What it makes for you (a picture, a deck, a spreadsheet, a document) arrives in the same thread. Settings → Text Rill shows which ways are switched on.

Rill gets its own email address for you. Give it to a restaurant or a business, or forward a confirmation to it, and Rill keeps it with the errand and tells you. When Rill writes for you, a booking or an enquiry, it sends from that address and signs as your AI assistant, never as you, after you approve. Write to it yourself from your own email and it answers like a text: reply YES to anything waiting. Only mail from your own addresses is read as a request. Everything else is kept as information. Files that come with the mail are kept with it: PDFs, photos, text and Office documents, up to 25 MB; anything else, such as a program or a web page, is noted and not kept. Change the part before the @ in Settings or by asking Rill; the old address keeps working for 30 days.

Pick a number and Rill answers it as your assistant. It says it is your AI assistant (and that the call is recorded, unless you turn that off), talks the way a person does on a call (short turns, no filler sounds) in a voice you can choose, and greets people in your contacts by name. Callers can ask about you and your work: it answers only from the Caller Brief you approve, which Rill can draft from what it knows about your work (nothing is used until you save it), and says it will pass anything else on. Callers can book time with you on the booking pages you open to the phone, under the same rules as the page, or leave a message. People you mark as trusted can hear when you are free or busy (never what for) and, if you allow, be put through to your mobile. Call it from your own number and it is your assistant: notes and to-dos straight away, and after your spoken PIN your day, your memory and your email, drafts for your approval, and approving what is waiting. Nothing outward goes without your OK. After every call you get a summary by notification and in your text thread: who called, what they wanted, what Rill did, and a call back ready to approve. Try it by calling your number as a stranger, for ten minutes at a time. Ask Rill to call somewhere for you, such as booking a table. It asks for what the other side will need, calls after you approve, says it will check on anything you did not tell it, and sends you a summary. It can ring you first for a practice run. When that business calls back, Rill knows what it is about. Settings → Ways to reach Rill → Your Rill phone number. Rill Phone is an add-on to any Rill plan, bought on the web: $19 a month with 20 minutes of calls included, in and out combined, then $0.45 a minute up to a monthly limit you set ($50 unless you change it). At the limit Rill stops placing calls until the next billing period and tells you; calls to you are still answered, as a short message (who it is, what it is about, a number to call back), and nothing past the limit is charged. If Rill Phone ends, the number stops answering and is held for 14 days, then released. Get one from your account page, or ask Rill: "set up a phone number for me".Pick a number and Rill answers it as your assistant. It says it is your AI assistant (and that the call is recorded, unless you turn that off), talks the way a person does on a call (short turns, no filler sounds) in a voice you can choose, and greets people in your contacts by name.

If Rill Phone ends, the number stops answering and is held for 14 days, then released.

Ask Rill for something you need, by text, in the app or by email: "order more coffee filters", "get me the blue mug in large". Rill finds it on the store's own site, asks the size, colour or amount when it matters, and sends you a link. Where the store allows it, the basket is already filled and the link opens on the store's payment page (Shopify and WooCommerce stores); other stores open on the product page. You pay on the store's own page with Apple Pay, Shop Pay, PayPal or your card. Rill does not pay for you and never asks for your card. When the store gives a price, Rill shows it before tax and delivery; the store shows the final total before you pay. Rill keeps the link with your orders, asks once the next day whether you finished, and can keep an eye on the delivery when you forward the confirmation.

Around 6pm local, Rill assembles a one-screen brief: today's meetings, promises you made, suggestions to triage, anything past due. Grouped by client. Skipped automatically on empty days. Lands as a push + email; live on the Today screen anytime.

An email about the weekend ahead, sent Friday at 4pm local unless you pick another day and hour. Three parts, and only the ones with something in them appear: what you owe before the weekend is out, including anything already past due; what sits on your calendar between Saturday morning and Monday; and, if you have turned Interests on, a short note on up to three of the things you follow, with links to where it read them. A weekend with nothing in it gets no email. Off until you turn it on, in Settings.

In the recall bar, pick a person you mention often (five captures or more) and the answer draws only on the captures that mention them. Useful when you remember who it was about but not when you wrote it.

The web /todos page aggregates open commitments + pending reminders + suggestions Rill extracted from your captures. Confirm what you actually said, snooze reminders, mark promises done — one screen instead of a pile.

Rill compares this week's confirmed promises against your 4-week rolling average. Heavier than usual? You'll see a nudge. Lighter? "Use the room." The comparison sits in your end-of-day brief.

When an upcoming meeting brief loads, Rill joins commitments by counterparty against the calendar attendees and surfaces "you owe Sarah X" inline. It is in the brief before the call.

When a single counterparty has accumulated 3+ open commitments, the brief surfaces "bundle the follow-up into one message?", so one person can get one message from you instead of several.

Active projects quiet for 10+ days surface in the brief: "12d since you touched the Spain trip — still on?" Never-touched projects stay silent — those are unused, not stale.

When tomorrow has 6+ meetings AND today landed 3+ fresh promises, the brief warns: "tomorrow looks heavy — push something out tonight?"

When you capture "I'll send Priya the Q3 pricing by Friday," Rill auto-extracts the promise as a SUGGESTION (never confirmed silently). Surface them on /todos under Triage, confirm with one tap. Counterparty + what + by-when, all from your own words.

Say it once — "remind me to follow up with Xerox Thursday" — and Rill parses the time and adds a reminder. Fires as a push at the parsed time. No menu, no form.

Tell Rill the things you care about — a client ("Xerox"), a trip ("Spain"), a paper ("Senior thesis"). Captures mentioning the name auto-tag here. The brief groups by it. /projects on web lists them all; /projects/[id] shows everything tagged to one.

When you capture "plan my Spain trip," Rill marks it as a plan parent. Future captures (book flights, reserve hotel, pack) can be linked as steps under it. The plan tree shows on /projects/[id] with each step nested. "+ Add step" right there to capture inline.

The web /people/[name] page consolidates one person: open commitments to them, recent captures mentioning them, past meetings together. Reachable from any commitment row in /todos — tap the counterparty.

The web /weekly page rolls up the last 7 days with deltas vs the prior week: meetings, promises made, reminders fired, still-overdue at week's end. Top counterparties, busiest clients, recurring topics — "what you came back to this week." The same review can arrive as an email, and that version is written in two halves. The week: a short account of what happened and the threads that ran through it. Then what is still open going into the next one — confirmed promises not yet kept, to-dos left standing and how long they have been standing, subjects you raised and never concluded, and decisions still pending. When there is nothing outstanding it says so rather than filling the space. The email is off until you turn it on; you choose the day and the hour, and it starts at Sunday, 5pm local.

From the browse palette → Ask Rill. Tap the big mic, ask a question ("what did I commit to for Acme last week?"), Rill answers out loud in a conversational paragraph. Hands-free recall built for AirPods + driving.

Connect your Linear personal API key + team ID in Settings. A confirmed commitment in /todos gets a "↗ Linear" button — tap and Rill creates the issue with the promise text + counterparty as the description, opens the issue in a new tab.

Open /social and describe a voice — how it should sound, what it writes about, what to avoid — for yourself and, if you want, for your company. Each day it drafts a post per platform (X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram) built from your own captures, and shows you which ones it drew on. When there isn't enough material it tells you so instead of writing something ungrounded. Edit it, ask for another, then copy it and paste it wherever you want to post — that copy is the human step, and it is why Facebook and Instagram work today with no permissions to grant. Tell Rill you posted it and the queue stops asking. At the hour you chose, Rill sends one notification saying the day's post is ready; it never posts on your behalf. LinkedIn can also publish directly if you'd rather not paste; publishing straight to Facebook and Instagram is coming soon. Instagram needs an image, and the page says so rather than offering a caption that cannot post. Drafting is a paid feature; describing your voices is free.

On /about-me, an inline chart of daily valence (pleasant vs unpleasant) and energy (low vs high) over the last 30 days. Same emotional signals the classifier already extracts from your captures — no new collection. Renders once you have 3+ classified days.

On /interests, type the things you care about — Formula 1, bourbon, watches — and Rill uses them to steer the weekend primer and to fill in what it knows about you when it answers. The page has two halves: what you told it, and what it worked out from your own captures. Every inference shows the captures behind it, so you can check the claim, confirm it, correct the wording, or remove it — and a removed interest never comes back. Rill only proposes one after three separate captures on three separate days at least a fortnight apart, so a single evening never becomes a passion, and what you typed yourself always outranks what it guessed. Off until you turn it on, and it does not study you in the background: the pass over your captures runs when you ask for it, on any paid plan. Never on Vault or Local-only captures.

Open /twin on the web. Type a question — "What have I decided about how I work best?" — and Rill synthesizes an answer from your own captures, in your own voice. Each response is cite-linked to the source captures. This is you answering yourself, not an AI guessing.

Open /stacks to see your captures sorted by source kind — voice notes, photos, documents, email-in, meeting transcripts, and more. Tap a stack to browse everything you've captured that way. Useful when you remember where you wrote something but not what you called it.

Open /facts to maintain an explicit knowledge base: constraints ("I never work past 7pm"), preferences ("I prefer bullet points over prose"), key relationships ("Sarah is my chief of staff"), operating models, and key dates. Confirmed facts inject into every AI response automatically. Adding and managing facts is available on every plan; "Extract from captures" — where Rill suggests facts it found for you to confirm or dismiss — is a Confluence feature.

Open /research and ask a question. Rill finds every capture related to it across your full history, orders them chronologically, and synthesizes a memo: how your thinking evolved, key insights with source excerpts, unresolved tensions, and mental models that may apply.

Settings → Connected accounts → Folders Rill reads. Connect Evernote and pick a notebook. Every note in it — essays, drafts, memos — is read into your memory as your own writing: searchable and quotable in briefs. New and changed notes arrive within a couple of hours; a note you delete from Rill stays deleted even if it changes later. Rill only ever reads — it never writes to or deletes anything. A second switch on each notebook, off by default, decides whether your persona may quote it to someone else. Dropbox and Google Drive folders are coming soon.

Open /tools for a toolbar of operations: Triage (categorize and tag), Compress (summarize to one sentence), Decompress (expand with context), Structure (extract entities and schema), Extract (pull named data), Expand (find related captures). Each runs with your Personal AI layer.

Go to /agents and build a custom agent: give it a name, a role, and a tool set. Agents can search the web, draft emails and LinkedIn posts (published only when you approve), and run on a schedule. Every agent has full access to your Rill corpus — it knows what you captured three months ago. Every agent starts behind the approval fence: it does the work, then waits in your inbox for one tap before anything is sent, posted, or scheduled. We recommend leaving it that way. You can give a specific agent full autonomy — you will read a plain warning first, and confirm it — after which it acts on its own within the credit cap you set, with every action written to a ledger you can read. A separate add-on ($5, $10 or $20 a month for Agents Lite, Plus or Pro), not bundled into Current or Confluence — each Agents plan includes a monthly credit pool, and you see the cost per run before you hire.Go to /agents and build a custom agent: give it a name, a role, and a tool set.

Coaches are Rill Agents that coach you. Say "be my sales coach" to Rill, typed or aloud, wherever you talk to Rill, or open Agents and choose Get a coach. Each coach checks in once a week with a short check-in (Habit Coach twice), and a full session is there whenever you ask for one. Before anything starts, Rill tells you when it will check in and what that costs in credits, and waits for your OK; you can choose check-ins more often, and the monthly cost is shown. A sales coach reviews your call notes with you and suggests next steps; a fitness coach builds a weekly workout plan and checks in each Monday; a writing coach gives feedback on the drafts you send it; a study coach builds a study plan and quizzes you. There are coaches for interviews, public speaking, language practice, your career, negotiation, nutrition and habits too. A coach reads what you capture in Rill and the accounts you connect, remembers what it said last time, and asks before anything goes out. Ask one for something at any time ("ask my writing coach to look at this essay") and its answer comes back where you asked. Fitness and nutrition coaches give no medical advice: check with a doctor or a qualified professional. Study and writing coaches give feedback and do not write graded work for you. Part of the Agents add-on.

/agents shows every agent as a live status line: whether it is working this second, when it last ran, what it produced most recently (the row opens that exact piece of work), how many of its actions are waiting on you, when it next wakes up, and what it has spent. Below the roster, one ledger of everything your agents did — including the actions you declined. Open any agent and its work reads three ways: Dialogue, the exchange as a conversation with your redirects in line; Made, a shelf of every named thing it produced, each one opening the real item; and Activity, the full run feed with traces, validation, and export.

Settings → Advanced → Developers and API keys. Mint a personal API key (read-only or read-write) so your own scripts, MCP clients, or other tools can query your Rill corpus directly. Shown once at creation; revoke any key any time.

A running editable note anchored to a date. Unlike captures, it doesn't get filed — it stays editable throughout the day for evolving thoughts. It now lives at the bottom of /journal, so the day's entries and your loose notes are one page; the date navigation there opens any past day's note. Lives alongside your corpus, not in the pile.

Open /ritual-modes and choose: morning intent, end-of-day review, weekly reflection, monthly review, or gratitude. Each mode gives you 3–5 guided prompts answered in sequence — submitted as a single reflection capture. Each session is kept with your captures.

Open /digests, pick a period (today / week / month / quarter) and a scope (all / personal / professional). Rill synthesizes a digest: a narrative paragraph, recurring themes as chips, standout highlights, and anything that still needs your attention. Generates on demand, saves to a history list.

Settings → Sharing → Let someone ask your persona. Create a link, hand it to someone, and they can ask a question without signing in. It answers the way you write, drawing only on the folders you have marked "my persona may quote this folder" — nothing else in your memory is reachable from a link — and it cites what it drew on. When you have not written about something it says so rather than guessing, never shares contact details, and never speaks about other people it finds in your writing. Every question and answer is listed for you, and you can turn a link off at any time.

Create a shared space at /spaces and invite people with a link — Rill gives you the URL, you send it (we never send for you). Members can see captures you've shared into that space. No public discovery, no strangers. Think of it as a closed journal you can let a small circle into.

Create a circle and invite people by email. Nothing is shared automatically — you choose exactly which captures enter the circle's shared lane. Everyone in the circle can ask questions across that shared lane and see the same recall history, so a family or small team builds one shared memory instead of everyone starting from scratch.

The Security page says exactly what Rill does: HTTPS in transit; what you write and record encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM under versioned keys; not end-to-end encrypted by default (Vault notes, on the web and iPhone, are encrypted on your device first); saved logins sealed under a separate key and bound to their site; texts deleted after 30 days; call recordings kept by the voice provider for 1 day; and who else sees what. Ask Rill about security and it answers from the same facts, and says when it does not know. Open it from Your account, Privacy or Terms.

Full AI, Preserve or Vault, for every app you sign in to. Vault turns Rill's AI answers, assistant and agents off. For notes Rill's servers cannot read, Vault notes (paid plans) are encrypted on your device with your passphrase. Everything is encrypted at rest, and the per-capture AI log shows which model saw what. You decide what Rill keeps: nothing listens in the background.
