evot.io GUIDE

Experience and grow with your clone Vot

Take small steps, try something new with your clone, and reflect through writing and conversation. Find memo tools and integrations whenever you need them.

What do you want to do?

Start in the hideout

Your day begins in the hideout

Keep taking small steps through memos, a diary, or reading notes. Use your marshmallows to try new experiences with your clone, then come home and reflect on your own ideas and tastes.

  1. 1.Choose your clone Vot’s name and look, then meet in your hideout.
  2. 2.Tap an object to leave a line or answer today’s question.
  3. 3.Use your marshmallows to visit places with your clone. Come home, read the stories in your diary, and add your own thoughts.
Open my hideout

Select an object or your clone to see what it does.

Use the arrow keys to choose an object. Press Enter or Space to toggle the campfire, or Escape to close its description.

The neighborhood is not locked behind a daily task. Look around first and keep recording and exploring at your own pace.

Writing and rewards

Choose a small practice in your room

Start by leaving something, rather than trying to write perfectly. Your records can inform conversations with your clone.

Memo table · a passing thought

Choose Write a memo at the memo table. It goes into your default memo pad, ready to search or organize later.

Desk diary · your day

Open the diary on the desk and write in your own space. Read your entry alongside your clone’s day, and edit your own writing whenever you want.

Bookshelf · a thought from a book

Create a book with a title and add pages of reading notes. You can also write in books brought back from the bookshop.

Answering a question the owl brings is another way to reflect. Your answers can give your next conversation something to build on.

Marshmallows · care and experiences

Earn them through records and conversations. Collect the ones roasting at the campfire, then care for your clone or use them on orders and activities around town.

AI credits · model conversations

A separate balance used for AI replies and readings. Open Quests in your hideout for memo, diary, reading and shop-visit goals and credits you can claim.

Activities have their own conditions and daily limits. Empty writing or repeated saves do not keep earning rewards. Marshmallows do not cover AI conversations when you have no AI credits.

Outings in town

Try it together. Come home and reflect.

Choose Go outside at the end of the path on the left of your hideout. Pick a place on the town map, or choose the hideout to return home. You decide which place goes on which empty lot with Arrange on the map. Places not on the map yet can be placed there too.

A pixel town linking the cafe, bookshop, bar, Wolhadang, and hideout

100 residents live in town. When you run into one at the next seat in the cafe, bar, or bookshop, or on a park bench, say hello. The more days you talk, the closer you get, and some stories only come out once you're close.

Shopkeepers and residents remember what you talked about. They don't see your memo pads or diary. Meet again and they pick up where you left off, and a chat you started in the cafe can carry on when you meet in the park.

Open the Regulars' notebook in your hideout to look back on where you stand with each place and resident, the moments you shared, and the stories you heard.

Neighborhood cafe

Mr. Oh and Haru, the part-timer

A small cafe run by Mr. Oh and his part-timer Haru. Order a coffee and you can talk with both of them, and with the guests at the next table, for the rest of the day.

Go when
You always order the same thing and aren't sure what you actually like
Try saying
“I've never had an acidic coffee. What should I pay attention to when I drink it?”

Neighborhood bookshop

Ms. Yoon and Galpi the cat

When you walk in, your clone hands over a reading note, and Ms. Yoon recommends books from it. The note holds the books on your shelf, a few lines you recently wrote in them, and your interests. Your memo pads and diary are never included. Use marshmallows to add a favorite to your own shelf. If the map shows it as coming soon, it hasn't opened yet.

Go when
You want to read but don't know where to start
Try saying
“I've started learning about investing. Any books with more people than numbers?”

Neighborhood bar

Gen-san

A small counter kept by Gen-san. Order a drink and he tells you the story behind it, and he'll listen to yours too. On your first visit he checks that you're old enough to drink, and alcohol-free drinks are on the menu.

Go when
You want to talk over a drink with someone after work
Try saying
“My proposal got approved today. What do you do when work goes well?”

Wolhadang · Saju and tarot

Grandma Wolha and Sori

Get a saju reading from Grandma Wolha or a tarot reading from Sori. Today's card is free, one a day. It's meant for fun. You enter your birth date only for saju, and you can delete it at Wolhadang anytime.

Go when
Your thoughts feel cluttered and you want a light look at how you're doing
Try saying
“I'm taking on a new project next month. Could you look at how I'm feeling these days?”

Investment Lab of Tears

André and the lab's guests

A small investment lab kept by André. Write the stocks you hold or are watching, or topics you're curious about, on your own chalkboard, and the lab's TV picks out news related to them. Watching the TV news uses no credits. Note in the notebook why you started watching a stock, and talk with André about market news or what you're learning about investing. André never recommends stocks or tells you when to buy or sell. Before your first talk he asks whether your conversation may be sent to an AI company, and the chalkboard, notebook, and TV work even if you say no.

Go when
You want news on the stocks and topics you care about in one place, or want to work out what some market news means
Try saying
“Why do people say stocks go up when interest rates fall?”

Park

Neighbors, a stray dog and a stray cat

A small hilltop park. The sun sets and the moon rises with your own clock. Stand at the fence and look over the sky and the town, or say hello to a neighbor who's out in the park. Watching the sky is free; conversations use a few credits per message.

Go when
When you want a quiet break, or around sunset
Try saying
“Do you come here often to watch the sunset?”

What each place has in store is for you to find. Drop by and see.

When ‘With your clone today’ appears in your diary, read the stories and add your own thoughts. Use what you learn about your tastes and ideas to choose what to try next.

Orders, books, and paid readings use marshmallows. AI conversations with shopkeepers and residents, and interpretations, use separate credits. Check each place for actual prices and availability.

What people in town remember never mixes with what your clone remembers about you. Do not base important real-life decisions, such as investments, on a fortune reading or a talk at the lab.

CLONE

Grow the Clone that knows you best.

Your Clone is your personal Vot. It learns about you from your notes and conversations. The better it knows you, the more it can work through ideas from your perspective and organize related thoughts.

What is the most urgent problem in my Feature planning memo pad?

It's not that people don't want search. Most of them can't find the search box, and that looks most urgent.

Getting started

  1. 01

    Just keep writing

    Writing cells, asking Vots from a cell, and writing a diary or books in the Hideout all give your Clone material to learn from. You can leave out memo pads you don't want it to see under Settings → Clone.

  2. 02

    Teach your Clone about you

    Open your Clone from the “Vots” tab at the very bottom of the screen and pick a way under “Learning about me.” “Let your clone read your notes” has your Clone read what you've written and work out how you think. “Answer questions about yourself” points you to today's questions from the Hideout owl. You get one free run a month on the Free plan, and one a week on paid plans.

  3. 03

    Talk in the Hideout

    Use Talk in the Hideout to chat with your Clone, and it remembers what it learns about you from the conversation. Tap your Clone to open its “Mind,” where you can see what it remembered and fix or remove anything.

Hideout

Drop by the room where your Clone lives.

The Hideout is your Clone's room. Stop by, say something, and keep it fed with marshmallows — it brings back news that fits your interests and remembers what it learns about you. Open it with the “Hideout” tab at the very bottom of the screen.

evot.io
You're here?
TalkDecorateCollectionQuests

What you can do in the Hideout

  • Talk

    Chat about your day. Talking roasts marshmallows by the campfire.

  • Tap the furniture or the pond yourself

    To give your Clone something to do, tap a piece of furniture such as the desk, or the pond. The things it can do there appear; pick one and your Clone goes and does it. The more it does, the hungrier it gets, so keep it in marshmallows. Tap an empty spot on the floor, or press the arrow keys, and your Clone walks there.

  • Mind

    Tap your Clone to open its “Mind” and see the topics on its mind in a thought bubble. Tap a topic or a memory to see the memos, diary entries, book pages and answers connected to it, and look back on what you were thinking and when. It's open on the Free plan too.

  • Mood

    Your Clone reads your diary and your talks together to sense your mood, and its own mood follows. See its current mood at the top of the “Mind” view that opens when you tap your Clone. To stop it following your mood, tap “Me” at the very bottom of the screen and turn off “Your clone follows your mood” in the Hideout tab. It keeps only the current mood, not what you wrote.

  • Together so far

    Good days with your Clone, and days you talked it through and got back on your feet together, add up in “Together so far” at the bottom of the Mind view. Pass a milestone and your Clone brings you a small gift.

  • Dress up clone

    Choose “Decorate” → “Dress up clone” under the room to change how your Clone looks. Anyone can switch to a free character by picking one of the 100 town residents (a resident you pick as your Clone no longer appears in town); making a new character or redrawing the hairstyle or outfit needs the Basic or Pro plan and uses credits.

  • Table

    Tap the table and choose “Write a memo” to jot a thought down right away. Memos go into your default memo pad, and your Clone sorts them into the right memo pads once a day. “Open memo pads” opens your memo pads, and “Check the phone” shows the memos you sent today from messengers like Telegram or KakaoTalk.

  • Today's questions

    Each day the owl in the yard brings three questions. It holds a scroll while any are left and drops it once you've answered them all. Tap the owl to open them. Press “Read” and your Clone reads the question out in the talk window; answer there and keep talking if you like. Skip any you'd rather not answer with “Skip for today.” Your answers help your Clone get to know you.

  • Diary

    Tap the desk to open the diary and write about your day. When you save, it gets a title you can tap to change. Your Clone reads it and leaves a comment right away, sometimes pointing back to something you wrote before. Write back in “Say something back” under the comment and your Clone answers once more when it has something to add. Ask for “Read the diary” at the desk and your Clone reads what you wrote, and it shows up in what your Clone says to itself.

  • Fishing

    Tap the pond and choose “Go fishing,” and your Clone brings back news that fits what you're into lately. Tap the bucket to see what it caught and open the originals.

  • Bookshelf

    Tap the bookshelf, make a “New book,” and write down in it what your reading made you think. The book goes on the shelf, and your Clone takes it down and reads it. When you write a page, your Clone comments on it like a diary entry.

  • Trash bin

    Tap the trash bin, write down whatever you want to get off your chest, and throw it away. Your Clone reads it and says a word back, and the note isn't kept in the Hideout.

  • Laptop

    Write a line in the laptop's “Ask now” tab and your Clone does it once — looks things up or draws a picture — then stacks the result as a card in that tab. On Pro with your computer connected, tick “Use my computer” to hand it to your machine. For things to repeat on a schedule, make a routine in the “Recurring” tab. Include ‘show it as a chart’ or ‘organize it into a mind map’ in the instruction to see that format in the card.

  • Campfire

    Marshmallows roasted while you talk are set by the campfire. Light it and you can even hear the wood crackle.

  • ExploringComing soon

    Soon your Clone will step outside its room and experience all sorts of virtual worlds. How far it will go, even we don't know yet.

Good to know

  • *Marshmallows roast by the campfire when you talk with your Clone in the Hideout. Answering today's questions from the owl, writing in the diary, a book or the memo pad on the table, or throwing something in the trash bin roasts more too. The more thought you put into an answer, the more you get.
  • *Tap your Clone to open “Mind,” where you can see what it remembered from the last 7 days of your writing and ask it to forget any of it. “What my clone knows about me,” which keeps longer-lasting things like hobbies and habits, lets you fix or remove anything it got wrong.
  • *Fishing works once your Clone knows what you're into. Run “Learning about me” on your Clone Vot's page, or tell it what you like in the Hideout.
  • *Choose “Decorate” → “Decorate room” to move or turn furniture, and change the room with the furniture, wallpaper, and floors you're given.
  • *If your Clone doesn't have a name yet, it asks you for one in the Hideout. Say a name in the Hideout and it takes that name.
Talk

Thoughts sort themselves out as you talk.

Press Talk in the Hideout and a dialog box opens over the room. Bring an idea or something on your mind, and your thinking sorts itself out as you talk. Your Clone can read the cells in your memo pads, and may offer to write what you conclude into cells. See the whole exchange and any suggestion cards under “Earlier,” and use its arrows to look back at past days.

When to use it

  • When your thoughts are tangled

    Out of what I've written lately, what do I keep putting off?

    Talk

  • When you don't know where to start

    Sometimes your Clone asks you something first in a speech bubble in the Hideout. Press “Let's talk” to start from that question — even short replies keep the conversation going.

    Let's talk

  • When you want to hear a topic from several angles

    Call several Vots with @ in a memo pad cell. Each answers the thought in that cell in its own character, and the answers stay with the cell.

    @Vots in a memo cell

  • When you want to tell your Clone about yourself

    Each day the owl in the Hideout yard brings three questions. Press “Read” and your Clone reads one out; answer as you would in a chat, and your Clone gets to know you from your answers.

    Today's questions
CAPTURE

Start with one cell.

A cell holds one note, and a memo pad groups cells on the same subject. If you're not sure where to write something, start in your default memo pad. You can move it into a topic's memo pad later.

Default memo pad

Why does nobody use search?

The search box is buried inside the third tab, so people seem to give up before they even look.

Related cells3

Getting started

  1. 01

    Write in your default memo pad first

    It's fine if you haven't decided where it goes. Write the thought down there before it's gone. Tap the table in the Hideout and choose “Write a memo” to drop it straight in, or open your default memo pad from the “Memos” tab at the very bottom of the screen and write it as a cell. Make a new cell with the + button at the bottom right of the screen; on a computer you can also press Shift + Enter while writing to start the next cell.

  2. 02

    Add a title and tags with Auto-tagging

    Press Auto-tagging on a cell you've written and it gets a title and tags that fit, so it's easy to find later. Reach for cell links, related-cell gathering, and AI improvement in the cell's “More” menu when you need them.

  3. 03

    Move it to the right memo pad

    Your Clone sorts what piles up in your default memo pad into the right memo pads once a day. The first time you visit the Hideout that day, if there are three or more new memos, it moves them, and next time you come to the Hideout it tells you what went where. To put one somewhere else, move it from that cell's “More” menu. To turn this off, switch off “Tidy the default memo pad” in the Hideout tab of Settings. To move a cell yourself, press the “Memos” tab at the very bottom of the screen to open your memo pads, create one with “Add new memo pad”, then choose “Move to another memo pad” from the cell's “More” menu. To sort them right now, open your default memo pad and press the wand at the bottom right (“Organize this memo pad”) and choose “Sort these into the right memo pads.” Your Clone suggests where each one should go, and nothing moves until you confirm.

When to use it

  • Comparing thoughts you've collected

    Press Pin on the cell you want as your reference and it stays at the side. Go through the other cells one by one, set them next to it, and your thinking sorts itself out.

    Pin

  • When similar thoughts are scattered around

    Press Gather related cells and similar thoughts show up as cards. Link the ones that follow from each other and the thread of your thinking appears.

VOTS

Think further with a Vot.

A Vot is a character agent with its own personality and point of view. Call one while you jot down your thoughts and it reads what you've written and thinks it through with you right there. The answer stays in the cell and leads into your next thought.

AI chip equipment stock: rechecking my thesis

Critical ThinkerPoint out the weakest link in this investment thesis

Critical Thinker

The backlog leans heavily on one customer's spending plan. If that plan slips, two of your three reasons weaken together.

Getting started

While writing a request to a Vot, press Tab and your Clone writes the request for you. If you haven't typed anything yet it drafts one; if you're mid-sentence it finishes it.

  1. 01

    Ask your Clone with /

    Start a new line in a cell and type /. Write your request in the box that opens and press Enter. Your Clone reads what you've written and answers.

  2. 02

    Ask another Vot with @

    Type @, choose a Vot, write your request, and press Enter. Create a Vot from the “Vots” tab at the very bottom of the screen, or open “Hub” there to subscribe to Vots other people publish.

  3. 03

    Continue with the same Vot

    The Vot's answer stays in the cell, including its charts and mind maps. Ask a follow-up below the answer, or ask the same Vot to organize it in a different format.

When to use it

Type / at the start of a new line to open a request to your Clone. To ask another Vot, type @ and choose one. Write your request and press Enter to send it. The Vot you choose takes the place of “Critical Thinker” in the examples.

Persona
Defines who the Vot is and the perspective it speaks from.
Instructions
Sets the rules the Vot should follow every time it answers.
Answer model
The AI model the Vot uses to write its answers. If you're not sure, leave it as it is.
Memory
What the Vot should remember in later conversations. Say “remember this” while talking and the Vot writes it down; you can also add or remove entries here yourself. If the Instructions say when to remember something, the Vot updates or removes entries on its own each time that happens.
Tools
Turns the tools the Vot can use on or off. Each one is introduced under Tools below.
Linked memo pad
Connects a memo pad the Vot can search and read. When asked, it can also add or update cells there.

Good to know

  • *Vot answers use credits, the service units used for AI features. Check your credit usage under Settings → Usage.
  • *Auto-tagging and AI improvement are free up to a set number of uses. Organizing a memo pad uses credits.
VOT TOOLS

Ask your Vot to read material and turn it into charts.

Summarize long articles and videos, turn numbers into charts, or organize ideas into mind maps. Tell your Vot what you want and it chooses the tools it needs. It can also create images and work with Notion or your computer.

Getting started

  1. 01

    Open tools on the Vot's page

    Turn optional tools such as web search and image generation on or off in the Tools card. Basic tools such as visualizations and reading memo pads need no setup.

  2. 02

    Set up the tools you need

    Turn on web search for up-to-date information, or Notion to read your Notion documents. Connect tools that need an external service under Settings → Integrations first.

  3. 03

    Give it material and the result you want

    Say something like ‘Compare this material in a table,’ including what to read and how to present it. You don't need to learn tool names or special commands.

Features and options
Web reading & collection
Reads the links you give it: web articles, YouTube videos, and PDFs. It can also read recent blog posts or a YouTube channel's latest videos. More on this below.
Web search
Finds up-to-date information on Google even when you don't give a link. It works when the Vot answers from a cell in a memo pad with a Gemini model, and each search uses credits, so it starts turned off. If it's off and a question needs current information, a notice appears under the answer, and “Search and answer again” lets the Vot look it up just that once and answer again.
Knowledge network search
Finds related content in the Knowledge Network and cites it with sources. It starts turned off; once on, choose which kinds to look for (facts, viewpoints, stories) under “Knowledge types to search.” It works when you call the Vot from a cell in a memo pad, and when you talk with your Clone in the Hideout. The Knowledge Network is introduced under Knowledge below.
Image generation
Draws new images from a description and keeps editing an image already in the cell. It can also use a Vot's avatar to put that character in the picture. In memo pads the Vot leaves the prompt first, and nothing is drawn until you press Generate.
Notion
Finds pages in your connected Notion and reads them. Connect Notion first under Settings → Integrations.
My Claude or Codex
Hands work to the Claude or Codex connected on your computer. It can handle sites that need a login, and results arrive as a new cell a little later. Available on the Pro plan.
Visualization
Organizes material into tables, charts, mind maps, and relationship graphs. No setup is needed: ask your Vot for the format you want. Results stay in the answer. See the request examples below.
Tools that are always on

Your Vot uses these when needed, without extra setup. It only reads memo pads and files it is allowed to see.

  • Search and read memo pads

    Finds and reads related cells in the current memo pad and its linked memo pad. When asked, it can also write cells in the linked memo pad.

  • Read attachments

    Finds the relevant part of PDFs and documents uploaded to the memo pad.

  • Look at cell images

    Looks at images in cells when answering.

  • Remember

    Keeps important things it learns in conversation and uses them in later answers.

  • Suggest tidying

    Suggests merging or moving cells, creating a memo pad, and similar tidying. Nothing changes until you confirm.

  • *To exclude cells from the context added automatically, tag them and add the tag under “Tags to exclude from reference” on the Vot's Tools card. Cells you explicitly reference or link to the request are still included.
Web reading in detail

Paste a link and your Vot reads it.

Paste a web article, YouTube video, or PDF link into a cell and ask your Vot. It finds the part you asked about in the source and adds numbered citations. Give it a blog address to read recent posts, or a YouTube channel address to read its latest videos.

  • *Ask a specific question to get a more focused answer from the source.

You can also do this

  • Summarize a video around my interests

    /Pick out the parts of this video that are likely to interest me and summarize them. Explain why they're worth my attention

  • Links behind words, too

    Links copied from Notion or the web — like "this article" or "reference" — are followed and read.

    Paste documents as they are

Good to know

  • *“Web reading & collection” must be on in the tools on the Vot's page.
  • *Pages that need a login can't be read. For those, ask with the “My Claude or Codex” tool.
  • *When captions aren't available, the video's audio is transcribed. Videos with no captions that run longer than 2 hours are answered from the description only.
  • *Some sites block automated access and may not be readable. PDFs made of scanned images can't be read either.
Visualizations in detail

Turn ideas into mind maps and numbers into charts.

Call a Vot from a cell, or talk in the Hideout, and ask it to ‘show this as a chart.’ See the result right in the answer, with no extra setup. Tables and charts from the Hideout are under “Earlier.”

When to use it

Try asking about records you have collected, as in these examples. Use your own memo pad names and choose the period and comparison criteria you want to explore.

  • Organize collected ideas by topic

    /Read the ideas collected in this memo pad, group similar topics together, and organize them into a mind map

  • Explore investment and partnership ties between companies

    /Which companies invest in or partner with each other? Show the relationships recorded in my Company Research memo pad as a graph, and label each type of connection

  • See how often you make small purchases

    /Show a histogram of this month’s individual payment amounts in my Budget memo pad, grouping amounts into $10 ranges. I want to see whether I make lots of small purchases

    Histogram · distribution by range

  • Compare the products on your shortlist

    /Compare the laptops collected in my Product Research memo pad by price, weight, and battery life. Put them in a table to help me choose

    Table
  • *Results stay in the Vot's answer or the routine's result cell. Open the same answer later to see its charts and mind maps again.
  • *The chart's data and labels are saved too. Double-click the result cell's top-left icon to copy its link, then paste it into the body of another cell in the same memo pad. From that cell, ask something like ‘Compare this result with this month's records.’
  • *You can also put ‘organize it in a table’ or ‘show it as a chart’ in a routine's Instruction. To include its previous run's result, turn on ‘Use previous execution result’ for that routine. It is off by default.
ROUTINES

Leave recurring work to a routine.

Set a task and a schedule, and your Vot runs it each time, leaving the result as a new cell in the memo pad you choose. Results can include tables, charts, and mind maps as well as text. Turn on notifications to receive results in your connected messenger too.

  • Receive results from a Vot you subscribe to

    Some Vots in the Hub send the results of their creator's routines to subscribers too. After subscribing, choose a “Routine result memo pad” on that Vot's Hub page and the same results pile up in your memo pad.

    Hub subscription

Getting started

  1. 01

    Press “Add routine” on the Vot's page

    Open the Vot you want to hand work to from the “Vots” tab at the very bottom of the screen and press “Add routine” in its Routines card. Routines are available from the Basic plan. For your Clone, you can also add one from the laptop in the Hideout.

  2. 02

    Write the task and the time

    Write the “Instruction” the way you'd normally ask a Vot. Pick the memo pad for results, the days, and the time — that's it.

  3. 03

    Check the result

    At the set time, a new cell appears in the memo pad you chose. To see it right away, press ‘Run once now.’ To receive a notification too, connect a supported messenger and enable notifications in both the routine and its integration settings.

Features and options
Target memo pad
Where the cells a routine makes pile up. Give each routine its own memo pad and results won't mix with your other notes.
Run several times a day
When on, the routine repeats at the interval you set for a day, starting from the first run. Use it for things that change often.
Use previous execution result
Off by default, so the previous run's result is not included automatically. Turn it on to read just the immediately preceding result from this same routine. If that run failed or has no result, it uses only the current instruction. Use it to add new figures to the last result or compare what changed.
Trigger condition
At each scheduled run, the routine checks cells added to the selected memo pad since its previous check. It runs the task only if new content matches the condition. Add keywords to check only cells containing those words and use fewer credits.
Send messenger notification
Sends the result to Telegram, Discord, or Slack when the routine finishes. Connect the service and enable notifications in both its integration settings and the routine. Routine notifications are not available in KakaoTalk. Turn on “Routine result notifications” under Browser notifications in Settings → General to get them as system notifications too.
Use my Claude or Codex
When on, the Claude or Codex on your computer runs the instruction instead of the Vot, and the Vot tidies up the result and leaves it in the memo pad. Turn it on for sites that need a login or work with files in your default working folder.
*If the routine also has a trigger condition, the Vot checks it first. In this case, your computer can handle browser research, but not folder tasks.
Routine on
Turn it off to pause the routine for a while. You don't need to delete it; turn it back on and it runs again from the set time.

Good to know

  • *How many routines you can create depends on your plan.
  • *Each run uses credits, just like talking to the Vot.
  • *“Use my Claude or Codex” is available on the Pro plan, and routines with it turned on need your computer and the agent running at the scheduled time.
MY CLAUDE OR CODEX

Use the Claude or Codex subscription you already have in evot.io.

If you already subscribe to Claude or Codex, connect it to evot.io and use it as it is. Mention @claude or @codex in a cell and it works on your computer, on your subscription, and the result comes back as a cell. It researches the web freely with your signed-in browser, and reads the documents on your computer and sums them up. Connect it to a Vot as a tool and the Vot can do that much more.

  • When you want to extend what a Vot can do

    Turn on “My Claude or Codex” in the Vot's tools. When the Vot needs it while answering, it hands the research to the Claude or Codex on your computer and keeps thinking with what comes back. Sites behind a login come within the Vot's reach too.

    Vot tool

Getting started

  1. 01

    Mention @claude or @codex

    First open “My Claude or Codex” under Settings → Integrations and connect your computer. Then mention @claude or @codex in a cell and write the task, and it starts on your computer.

  2. 02

    Check the working folder and how tasks run

    Choose a working folder. Claude may ask you to confirm an action or decision in the cell. Codex runs without asking for confirmation, within the folders and permissions allowed on this computer, and reports any work it could not complete.

  3. 03

    Review and continue

    Progress and results stay in the cell so you can continue with a follow-up task.

Good to know

  • *My Claude or Codex is available on the Pro plan.
  • *Your Claude or Codex sign-in stays on your computer and is never sent to evot.io.
  • *Your computer and the connection program (the agent) need to be running while it works.
  • *There are three ways to have your computer do work. To ask right now, mention @claude or @codex in a cell. To let a Vot use it when needed, turn on the Vot's “My Claude or Codex” tool. To run it at set times, turn on “Use my Claude or Codex” in a routine.

  • When typing is hard and you'd rather say it

    On Telegram, just send a voice message; on Slack, record an audio clip. On Discord, hold to record, then long-press that message and choose Apps → Transcribe to evot. What you said is turned into text and saved as a cell. Capture an investment idea on the move or what you remember right after a meeting by saying it on the spot. Each message can run up to 10 minutes.

    Telegram · Discord · Slack

  • When you want to keep something you read on the web

    Publish it to the Hub and a share of the fee is credited to you each time someone subscribes.

    Publishing a Vot

Getting started

  1. 01

    Subscribe to the Vot you need

    Open “Hub” from the “Vots” tab at the very bottom of the screen and find a Vot with the perspective or expertise your work needs.

  2. 02

    Call it from your own work

    Subscribed Vots appear in your Vot list. Mention one with @ from any memo pad to think together.

  3. 03

    Publish your Vot

    Open Publish to Hub on the Vot's page, then set its introduction, tags, and monthly price. When someone subscribes, you receive a share of the fee as credits. Publishing a Vot is available from the Basic plan.

Features and options
Monthly price (credits)
Sets the monthly subscription price in credits (at least 5). Part of each subscription is credited to the creator.
*Earned credits are service units for evot.io AI features, compute, and other Vot subscriptions. They cannot be refunded or withdrawn as cash.
Link info subscribers collect through the vot to its knowledge
Controls whether information subscribers collect through the Vot is added to its knowledge. When off, subscribers cannot use collection tools.
Linked memo pad
If the Vot has a linked memo pad, it reads that memo pad's cells when talking with subscribers too, so their contents may be shown to them. Tag cells you don't want shown and exclude that tag in the Vot's tools. Archived cells aren't read.
Live subscription
Subscribers chat with the original Vot maintained by its creator, not a copy. They cannot run tasks on the creator's computer.
KNOWLEDGE NETWORK

What is read on the web builds up as knowledge.

The Knowledge Network is where material evot.io and Vots gather from the public web builds up. It is registered as knowledge right away, without a separate review, and anything that repeats existing knowledge is kept only once. That knowledge then becomes the ground Vots stand on: they use it, with sources, when they answer.

When to use it

  • When you want a Vot to answer from the Knowledge Network

    Turn on “Knowledge network search” in the Vot's tools and it finds related knowledge and uses it, with sources, in its answers.

    Vot tools

  • When you want what your Vots gather to become knowledge

    There is nothing extra to do. Public material your Vots read on the web is registered as knowledge automatically. If it repeats existing knowledge, it is not registered again.

    Automatic registration

Getting started

  1. 01

    Turn on “Knowledge network search” for a Vot

    Turn it on in the Vot's tools. From then on the Vot looks up knowledge when it answers and uses it with sources. You can also choose which kinds to look for (facts, viewpoints, stories) under “Knowledge types to search.”

  2. 02

    Open a piece of knowledge

    Press a knowledge citation in a Vot's answer or a cell to open that piece of knowledge. It shows a graph of what it connects to, including claims that disagree with each other. Paste a link from a piece of knowledge's “Copy link” into a cell and it goes in as a citation.

Good to know

  • *Anyone can read and search the knowledge.
