Connect

Your knowledge graph,
inside the AI you already use.

Connect Ontoic to Claude or ChatGPT and your AI will actually know what you know. Ask it questions from your research. Have it save new findings. Work across every conversation without repeating yourself.

Takes about five minutes. No code required.


What changes

Your AI gets four new abilities.

Answer from your graph

Ask Claude or ChatGPT anything and it'll search your knowledge graph first — pulling in the context, notes, and sources you've built up.

Find specific things you've saved

"Find that thing I saved about central bank digital currencies" — it searches your nodes by concept or exact phrase.

Save findings mid-conversation

Paste an article, a paper, a thread. Ask it to save the key ideas to your graph. They're there for every future conversation.

Research and add automatically

Ask it to go research a topic. It searches the web, extracts the key claims, and integrates them directly into your graph.


Setup
