Think of your best AI outputs as close-reading notes you’d normally scribble in the margins: line-by-line clarifications, “what does this imply?” breakdowns, translation and dictionary checks, and tighter summaries that preserve the author’s logic. So why let them vanish into a chat thread when an AI knowledge base can store them, make them searchable and flippable for the next time you need them?
Benefits of Having an AI Knowledge Base
Streamline research and learning
An AI knowledge base turns one-time reading support into reusable reference material. When key clarifications and summaries are saved as AI Notes in the Knowledge Base, they can be searched and reopened later, reducing repeat questions and keeping progress moving across longer texts and related sources.
Keep insights structured as the collection grows
A knowledge base earns its value over time. Once AI Notes start piling up, the real challenge becomes maintenance. Knowledge Base provides notebooks and sorting, plus batch editing actions like rename, share, and delete, which keep the archive clear, current, and easy to work with.
Build a reference layer for deeper study
An AI Note preserves an answer along with the context that made it worth saving. Saving into a specific Knowledge Book and adding remarks at the time of saving creates a lightweight reference layer across the topics being studied. Later, swiping through note details supports quick refresh before writing, discussion, or revision.
Enhance productivity and focus
Organizing AI Notes into a structured system enables quicker retrieval and more efficient decision-making. With all notes in one place, cognitive load is reduced, making research and learning more focused, effective, and less fragmented.
How to Create an AI-Powered Knowledge Base?
To create an AI knowledge base on AiPaper Reader, the trick is to start with where you ask (so the question keeps its reading context), then tighten how you ask (so the output is worth saving).
1. Access AI while you’re reading
-
AI Key (fastest entry). Short-press the AI Key to open text input. Long-press to record voice input for up to 60 seconds, then release to send automatically.
-
AI Floating Window (a movable on-screen AI panel). Enable Floating Window mode, drag it to any position, then slide it to the screen edge to collapse or expand as needed.
- Learning (ask on the exact line). In Learning, long-press to select text, then choose AI Assistant, Translate, or Dictionary from the same selection panel. For repeat tasks, use AI Commands to create a custom command, and long-press a command to edit or delete it.
2. Set up the session before you ask
a. Choose a model first. On the AI page, select the AI model you want, then start the session. Multiple models are available even if you haven’t logged into a Viwoods account, including GPT-4o, GPT-4o mini, GPT 5, Gemini-2.5 flash, Gemini-2.5 Pro, Gemini-3.0 Pro, Deepseek-R1, and Deepseek-V3.
b. Use web search when needed. Web Search is enabled after you log into your Viwoods account. Turn it on when your question requires up-to-date facts, quick verification, and supporting sources from the web.
3. Ask in a way that produces “save-worthy” outputs
Start with one clean question
Keep it anchored to the passage: ask for the meaning, logic, or structure of what you’re reading (not a broad topic dump).
Tighten the output before you save it
On the AI page, you can copy, share, regenerate, and save results to the Knowledge Base. If the first reply feels rough, regenerate once, then keep the cleaner version.
Add one follow-up instruction to force structure
Use a single “format” line after the answer, for example:
- “Summarise the reasoning in 5 bullets.”
- “List key terms with definitions as used here.”
- “Extract claims vs evidence.”
4. Save AI Responses to Your Knowledge Base
Once you've refined an answer, save it as an AI Note by clicking the save icon on the AI page. In the dialog that appears, you can choose a save location (Knowledge Book) and add remarks to the note. After saving, you can rename the notebook later in the Knowledge Base.
For faster batch saving, long-press a blank area on the page to select multiple answers before saving them all at once.
5. Organize Your AI Notes
You can view, sort, and manage your AI Notes within the Knowledge Base. Use long-press actions to rename, delete, or share them as needed, keeping your Knowledge Base manageable and organized.
6. Search and Revisit AI Notes
The Knowledge Base lets you search for notes using keywords. Once found, you can quickly flip through and edit if needed, making it easy to revisit and continue your research without losing track.
7. Share and Export AI Notes
When your AI Notes are ready to be shared, you can rename and export them in various formats, including PDF, TXT, and HTML. These notes can be shared via QR code, transfer, Bluetooth, cloud storage, or third-party apps. Exporting gives you the flexibility to deliver your notes in the format best suited for your work.
8. Backup and Migrate AI Notes
To ensure your notes are safe, you can export them to local storage or cloud drives through the My Files feature. Viwoods Transfer also supports importing and exporting note files, allowing you to sync them across Viwoods devices under the same account.
9. Privacy and Cleanup
AI Notes are stored locally on your device, and you have full control over your data. You can manually delete individual notes or clear the history to maintain privacy. The session history allows you to select all, pin, rename, or delete entries, ensuring that only the notes you want to keep remain in your Knowledge Base.
Unlock the Power of Your AI Knowledge Base
Building an AI-powered knowledge base on AiPaper Reader transforms the way you engage with and retain information. By saving, organizing, and revisiting AI responses, you ensure valuable insights are easily accessible for future use, streamlining your research process.
