Search is often treated like an afterthought. A utility. A magnifying glass in the corner that’s there if you need it, but invisible otherwise. But in Jot, the ability to find what matters—fast—is core to the entire experience. It’s not just about looking up a note you created. It’s about recalling a memory, continuing a thought, picking up where you left off, or reusing what you already know.

That’s why today we’re introducing a new kind of search. One that feels more like a conversation with your memory than a command to a database. And it all starts with a single input.

One Input to Do It All

We’ve designed Jot’s search around a simple idea: there should only be one place to type. Whether you’re asking Jot something new, trying to remember something you saved, or picking up a past thread—it’s all done through one unified field.

You can enter a keyword, a person’s name, or a full question. As you type, Jot surfaces relevant notes, past chats, and items saved to Memory in real time. You might be reminded of a list you made last week. A conversation you forgot to follow up on. A detail you didn’t know you’d need again—but Jot did.

This is more than just text search. It’s fast, intuitive, and built to understand meaning—not just words. Jot doesn’t just match keywords. It understands your intent and context, helping you locate the right thread of thought, just like your own mind would—only more organized.

Designed to Feel Instant and Intuitive

We didn’t just want the feature to work. We wanted it to feel obvious—like this is how it should’ve always worked. The input feels familiar and simple—just one place to type, whether you’re searching or asking.

As you type, suggestions appear instantly—refining in real time to surface what matters most. You’ll see relevant suggestions right where you’re typing—no need to leave the flow or open a new screen. And if nothing matches, Jot seamlessly shifts into answering your question—because sometimes you’re not looking for something you wrote, but something you don’t know yet.

Real-Time Recall, Powered by Search That Understands You

Under the hood, Jot blends fuzzy search (to handle typos and near-matches), semantic search (to understand intent, not just keywords), and memory-aware ranking to show you what’s most relevant—right now.

It’s fast. Like, instant-as-you-type fast. And it’s smart enough to connect “birthday dinner” with “Priya’s restaurant list” or find “passport renewal” when all you typed was “ID.” This combination of speed, understanding, and context-awareness makes Jot feel more like an extension of your thinking than a traditional note app.

The Memory You Wished AI Already Had

What makes this experience unique isn’t just the technology—it’s how it’s presented. Most apps separate search from chat. Or worse, separate search from memory. In Jot, your saved notes, AI answers, and items saved to Memory all live in the same place and speak the same language.

You can ask, “What did I decide about Tokyo?” and Jot will show you both the AI suggestion you saved last week and the group chat where you made your final call. Then you can click into either and pick up the thread, or ask a new question to move it forward. It’s not just recall—it’s momentum.

Built for Real Life

We built this for the moments when you’re on the go, mid-conversation, or juggling a dozen tabs in your mind. It’s for when you don’t have time to search, but still need answers. When you kind of remember the thing you wrote… and Jot helps you find it before you finish your sentence.

And it’s just the beginning. We’re continuing to refine how Jot understands your inputs, how it ranks what’s most important, and how it surfaces the right note, answer, or item saved to Memory at exactly the right time.

Try It Now

The new search experience is available starting today. Just update the app, tap the input field, and type anything. A name, a question, a fuzzy half-thought.

You’ll find more than just results. You’ll find your memory, waiting for you.
