Assistant
An assistant that
works on your notes.
Ask a question and the assistant finds the note, reads it and answers with a link to where it found the answer. Ask for a change and it makes the change in the note, then tells you what it did.
It is built into Virlow and works on the notes you already have open, so there is nothing to connect and nothing to paste.
Part of Virlow Pro. Pro includes the assistant with 1,000,000 tokens a month. See Pro pricing
The notes and projects in these pictures are invented.
01 / Ask and edit
Ask for the change.
Undo it if it is wrong.
The assistant searches and reads your notes to answer, and each step shows as one quiet line, so you can see what it looked at. A note it names is a link that opens it.
When you ask for an edit it changes that part of the note and leaves the rest as it was. Every change has an Undo beside it.
It can also move notes, create folders, and set tags and properties. It cannot delete, trash or archive anything.
02 / In the editor
Rewrite what
you have selected.
Select text in a note and choose AI: improve the writing, fix spelling and grammar, make it shorter or longer, change the tone, turn it into a list, or say what you want in your own words.
The suggestion shows what would change, with the words taken out struck through and the words put in highlighted. Nothing in the note changes until you accept it, and accepting is one step to undo.
Two commands on an empty line do the rest: Continue writing picks up where you stopped, and Ask the assistant opens the pane.
03 / Yours
Tell it once
how you work.
Write the instructions it should always follow, and separate ones for a workspace: a tone for client notes, a format for meeting minutes.
Save the questions you ask often as prompts. They wait at the start of every conversation, one click each.
Your instructions, your prompts and your conversations are saved encrypted with your account, so they are there in your other browsers and Virlow cannot read them.
04 / Bring things in
Files, the web
and your voice.
Files. Attach an image, a PDF or a text file to a question, by dropping it in or pasting it, and ask about it or have it written up as a note.
The web. Switch web search on and the assistant can look things up, with links to the pages it used.
Your voice. Dictate a question where your browser supports it.
05 / The fine print
What it does,
and what it will not.
The assistant is an option, not a requirement. Your notes work the same without it, on every plan.
- It only reads what it needs. A note is read when a question calls for it. Notes it does not read are not sent anywhere.
- It cannot destroy anything. There is no delete, trash or archive, and it will not write over a spreadsheet, a diagram, a code note or a memory.
- It can remember, if you ask. It can look through your memories and save a new one when you say to. It refuses passwords, keys and card numbers.
- A monthly allowance. Pro includes 1,000,000 tokens a month, starting again on the 1st. Longer notes and attached files use more, and Settings shows what is left.
What leaves your vault
The assistant runs in your browser, where your notes are already decrypted. To answer, it sends what you ask, the notes it reads, any text you have selected, files you attach and, with web search on, the searches it runs to Anthropic, the company whose model answers. Anthropic can read that content, and its data policies apply to it. Files you attach are not stored by Virlow. Dictation is done by your browser, which may send the audio to its maker.
Two other optional features send content off your device: the hosted connector, which decrypts on Virlow's server while you have it unlocked so AI apps on the web can use your notes, and code execution, which runs your code on Virlow's service. The security page has the details.

Ask your notes.
Then ask for the edit.
The assistant comes with Pro, from $6 a month billed yearly.
