Liminary is a knowledge management assistant that collects fragmented information — articles, PDFs, videos, AI chats, and meeting records — in one place and lets AI surface the relevant pieces at the moment you need them. The official site positions it as “AI for professionals and small teams making high-stakes recommendations grounded in real research,” aimed at consultants, researchers, investors, and strategists who read large volumes of material before making decisions. It is not simply a storage service: while you are writing a document or sitting in a meeting, it proactively presents the information you saved but may have forgotten. Every answer comes with a citation, and the original source is one click away.
Key Features
- One-click saving and annotation: A browser extension (Chrome / Firefox) saves articles, reports, PDFs, AI chats, and videos as they are. You can add notes while reading, so the source material and your own thinking at the time are stored together
- Proactive recall: Instead of typing into a search box, relevant saved material surfaces automatically as you write or during a meeting. The design assumes you have forgotten what you saved
- Magnet, the meeting assistant: On top of transcripts and summaries, it pulls answers out of past meeting notes and saved documents as the conversation moves. Meetings are treated as part of a continuous knowledge base rather than standalone records
- Fact-checking and gap detection: Claims in a document are verified against your own saved sources, and missing information is flagged before you share. Fact-checking is also available inside Notion
- Watchlists for automatic monitoring: Set up a watchlist per client or project and the system picks up new information as it appears
- Notion and Gmail integrations: You can draft and edit emails in Gmail using your saved knowledge, and higher tiers add MCP connectors, agents, and integrations with Google Drive and Granola
- Explicit sourcing: Every answer traces back to the original material — a design built for work where you have to show your evidence

Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- You don’t have to remember and search for what you saved — it comes to you while you write or talk
- Every answer carries a citation, which makes it usable as evidence in proposals and reports
- Magnet, the meeting assistant, can be tried on the free plan (with a meeting cap)
- Broad format support — articles, PDFs, videos, AI chats — so sources live in one place
- It works inside the places you actually write, such as Notion and Gmail
⚠️ Cons
- The free Explorer plan hits its ceiling quickly at 200 documents and 10 meetings, so serious use effectively requires Pro
- At $29/month, Pro is not cheap for a personal knowledge tool
- Fact-checking and gap detection are paid-only, so part of the core value cannot be tested for free
- There is no published information about a Japanese interface or accuracy in Japanese, so you should test it on your own material first
- The saving flow assumes a browser extension, which limits usability in environments where extensions cannot be installed

Who Is It For
- Professionals who must show their evidence when making proposals or investment calls
- Anyone whose stack of saved articles and PDFs has grown past the point of knowing what is where
- People who want to reference past discussions and documents during meetings without spending time hunting for them
- Writers who want to verify their claims on the spot while drafting reports in Notion
- Small teams that want to build a shared research asset
Summary
Liminary puts its weight not on storing information but on having it appear at the moment of use. Guaranteed citations, recall of past knowledge during meetings, and gap warnings before sharing all fit work where evidence matters. Because the free plan runs out quickly, a practical path is to try saving and recall on Explorer first, then move to Pro once it becomes something you rely on daily.
