Your first Mind notebook

Create a notebook, add a source, and ask a question with citations.

FlyType Mind three-pane workspace with Sources, Chat, and Studio
Mind notebook — ingest sources, chat with citations, generate Studio artifacts.
Mind flow: source → chat → citation (25 s).

Before you start

  • Hub account with Mind enabled (Pro or trial).

Steps

  1. 1

    Open Hub → Mind (or Mind tab in desktop/mobile client).

  2. 2

    Click New notebook — pick a template (Research, Learning, Project) or blank.

  3. 3

    Add a source: paste a URL, upload PDF, or Save to Mind from dictation history.

  4. 4

    Wait for source status Ready (ingest runs on the server — large PDFs take longer).

  5. 5

    Open Chat, ask: "What are the main points?" — the answer includes citation chips linked to source spans.

  6. 6

    Optional: Studio → Briefing or Flashcards to generate study artifacts from the same sources.

Common mistakes

  • Broken source? Open source health → Reprocess from the notebook sidebar.
  • Team plan: share notebook with teammates from notebook settings.
  • If chat says it timed out: wait for sources Ready, retry once (clients auto-retry a cold start), and keep the app updated — Expert notebooks can take longer than a quick question.
