Stop losing research in your bookmarks
Transform saved articles, web links, and PDFs into structured takeaways inside your searchable project vault, automatically.
For: anyone doing market or competitive research from articles, PDFs, and web links
If you’ve ever bookmarked ten articles, saved five PDFs, or opened twenty browser tabs promising yourself you’d read them later — only for them to sit in a bookmarks graveyard — this is for you.
Web research is notoriously fragmented. You bookmark an insightful market report on your laptop, save a link in a messaging app on your phone, and download three PDFs to your desktop. Weeks later, when you’re writing a proposal or strategy doc and need that research, you can’t remember which app it’s in or what the key figures were — and re-finding it can burn 15-20 minutes you’d rather spend writing.
How saved links become notes
Dori converts external web content into permanent, searchable Markdown notes inside your vault. Whenever you save a link, drop a web article, or upload a PDF report, Dori extracts the text, generates a clean summary with key takeaways, tags relevant projects and accounts, and saves it to your vault memory.
What’s actually driving this, and what it costs
Web fetching, clutter removal, and local Markdown formatting are handled by Dori’s background engine, at zero API cost. Generating executive summaries and extracting core takeaways is the part that uses your connected AI provider.
Questions you can ask across saved web research
Once web content is indexed into Dori, you can query its facts alongside your internal meeting notes:
- “What did that McKinsey report say about European AI adoption trends?”
- “Summarize the key findings from the competitor analysis article I saved last week.”
- “Find all research articles and PDFs tagged under the Q4 Expansion project.”
- “What statistics do we have on cloud migration costs from saved industry reports?”
See Ask anything for search options.
Quick setup (one time, about two minutes)
Pass a link or document to Dori
In Dori Desktop, paste a URL into the Command Palette or drop a downloaded PDF into a watched folder.
Select a Target Project
Assign the research to a specific Project (e.g. projects/market-research) or let Dori auto-file it based on topic.
Review the extracted note
Dori creates a structured Markdown note containing executive summary, key quotes, metadata, and original source URL.
A real-world walkthrough: Saving competitor research for a strategy doc
- Saving the Content: While browsing an industry report on market pricing, you copy the article link and paste it into Dori.
- Automated Extraction: Dori fetches the page text, strips out ads and clutter, extracts the top 5 key takeaways, and tags it under your Pricing Strategy project.
- Drafting a Strategy Doc Weeks Later: When you’re writing your pricing proposal three weeks later, you don’t need to find that browser bookmark. You ask Dori: “Summarize competitor pricing models from saved research.” Dori pulls key data points directly from your vault note with the original URL attached.
Why this beats standard browser bookmarks
- No Bookmarks Graveyard: Content isn’t hidden behind a URL link you forget to open — it’s converted into searchable text inside your vault.
- Unified Context: Web research sits right next to your internal meeting notes and client histories.
- Offline Access: Articles and PDFs are stored as Markdown in your local vault, available even when offline.
