What is Ragtime Notes?
Ragtime Notes is an AI-powered research assistant that helps you make sense of large collections of documents. Upload your files, then ask questions across them using natural language — the system retrieves the most relevant passages, summarises them in parallel, and synthesises a structured Markdown answer. You can also hold multi-turn conversations grounded in your documents, tag and filter files for focused queries, and share projects, results, and prompts with teammates.
