Introducing vihko.ai: More Than Chat, More Than Notes
Most AI tools treat conversations as throwaway chats. Most note-taking apps treat AI as an afterthought. Vihko is different: an AI-native note-taking app that turns conversations into lasting knowledge.
The Problem with Ephemeral AI
You've been there: you have a brilliant conversation with ChatGPT, Claude, or another AI assistant. The insights are gold. Then you close the tab and have a hard time finding it again in a month.
Sure, you can scroll back through chat history, but let's be honest, when was the last time you actually found that perfect response from three weeks ago or even remember that you had the discussion? Your insights deserve better than digital amnesia.
On the flip side, traditional note-taking apps bolt on AI features like "smart search" or "AI writing assistant," but they're still built for the pre-AI world. They're designed for static information, not the dynamic, conversational way we actually think and work with AI. You end up with scattered notes, disconnected conversations, and no good way to build on past insights.
Vihko: More Than Chat, More Than Notes
Vihko takes a different approach. Instead of treating conversations and notes as separate things, we blend them into something new: AI-native note-taking built on markdown.
Why markdown? Because it's the perfect format for the AI age. Markdown creates clean, structured text that both humans and AI can easily understand and work with. Unlike proprietary formats or complex formatting systems, markdown is perfect for prompting and working with Large Language Models. It's fast to write and focuses on content over formatting.
When you chat with Vihko's AI, you're not just getting answers—you're building your personal knowledge base. Key insights automatically become searchable notes that you can reference, build upon, and recompose into new ideas. Unlike ephemeral chat threads, your Vihko notes become your AI's long-term memory. Ask about something you discussed weeks ago, and the AI can reference your previous thoughts and build on them.
Create notes effortlessly
Intelligent tagging
And when you need to find something later? You don't have to remember exact keywords or dig through endless chat logs. Vihko's semantic search understands what you're looking for, not just how you phrased it.

Building Your Personal AGI
We're not just building a better note-taking app. We're building the foundation for how you'll work with increasingly powerful AI systems.
Think of Vihko as bootstrapping your own "personal AGI brain"—a system that knows your thinking, remembers your insights, and helps you build knowledge over time. As AI capabilities evolve, you'll already have a rich, searchable foundation of your thoughts, ideas, and conversations ready to supercharge whatever comes next.
This is just the beginning. In upcoming posts, we'll dive deeper into how semantic memory transforms the way you work with AI, real workflows that show Vihko in action, how to integrate Vihko with your favourite AI tools through MCP, and the technical details of building truly AI-native tools.
We're building Vihko for people who think with AI, not just chat with it occasionally. Ready to turn your conversations into lasting knowledge?
