Library and workspaces

Start in the default workspace, then split materials by project, course, client, or sensitivity when needed. Materials, notes, and paper subscriptions each have a clear place, so common study materials are easier to find.

  • Import PDFs, Word files, web pages, images, audio, and video
  • Open View All for table browsing
  • Filter by folder, tag, file type, and recent reading time
  • Browse subscribed papers by research field, topic, and source, then save papers you want to keep reading

PDF translation and bilingual reading

Translate and read foreign PDFs, papers, textbooks, cases, and reports with terminology and page-range control.

  • Choose translation service, source language, and target language
  • Support terminology and page-range selection
  • Keep source PDF, translation, annotations, and notes in one reading flow

AI summaries and document-context Q&A

Pemo Q&A is not detached chat; it happens beside the current document, multiple materials, subtitles, notes, and library context.

  • Ask questions over the current PDF, subtitle, file, or multi-document scope
  • Generate summaries, structured notes, and mind maps
  • Generate understanding checks from selected text, a page/section, the full document, or a custom scope
  • Source-linked answers help review important conclusions

Notes and knowledge organization

Turn reading, translation, and Q&A output into reusable notes with task-specific note styles.

  • Key points, study notes, action items, and researcher memos
  • Quoted passages and source fragments can locate the original PDF text
  • AI answers can be added directly into study notes
  • Useful for paper cards, meeting minutes, class review, and contract risk lists

Media transcription and study organization

Turn meetings, class videos, podcasts, interviews, and tutorials into transcripts or subtitles, then translate, edit, generate notes, and organize study outputs.

  • Batch transcribe media files
  • Translate, edit, and style subtitles
  • Use study skills to generate notes, review questions, and discussion material

Batch processing

Process paper collections, report packs, scanned files, and course materials with PDF batch translation, PDF batch conversion to Markdown, and media batch transcription.

  • Select multiple files and folders
  • Set task type, language, and page range
  • Check task progress in Task Management

Service configuration and local-first

Configure model, translation, transcription, TTS, and local services; choose local-first workflows for sensitive materials.

  • Configure OpenAI, DeepSeek, SiliconFlow, Qwen, Ollama, and other services
  • Combine local model Q&A and local transcription when needed
  • Confirm data flow separately for cloud services, sync, and plugins

SiliconFlow free model setup

Select SiliconFlow in Pemo, add your API Key, then add chat, Embedding, and Rerank models from the model marketplace.

  • Select SiliconFlow and add your API Key
  • Click Add Model in Model List

Ollama local model setup

Download and start Ollama, pull a local model, then select Ollama in Pemo for local Q&A.

  • Download Ollama from the official website

Enhanced retrieval

For long-document Q&A, configure Embedding retrieval and Rerank to find more relevant document chunks first.

  • Useful for long PDFs, internal reports, meeting records, and multi-document study scope
  • Retrieval finds material; the model answers based on material
  • Source-linked answers help review important conclusions
