Usage Guide

Drop material into Capture and ask in plain language. Choose the evidence you need, then let Norfolk turn it into documents.

Workflow

Capture, Ask, Create Documents.

📥

1. Add it to Capture

Paste text, drop files, or save a link. Start with capture, not with structure.

meeting recap.txt

Screenshot from onboarding issue

research paper.pdf

link: customer interview transcript

voice memo about launch ideas

No folders first. No manual categories. No tag cleanup before you start.

🧠

2. Let Norfolk organize automatically

Norfolk breaks material into smaller pieces and connects them so you do not need to design a search query first.

-> No manual categories or tags required

As related material accumulates, Ask answers and generated documents get better evidence.

🗂

3. Ask directly

Ask what you want to know in natural language. Norfolk retrieves the relevant material and shows the answer with evidence.

-> Ask: "What are the next actions from the launch retro?"

Instead of choosing keywords first, ask the question and let Norfolk retrieve the material behind the scenes.

4. Create Documents

Select the useful evidence under the answer and turn it into a meeting prep note, research brief, decision memo, or planning pack.

Weekly product memo -> Document

Included: Interview highlights, pricing notes, onboarding screenshot

Focus: What changed this week and what the team should do next

Outcome: A grounded document or document pack

Sections with weak evidence are marked as needing confirmation. Missing sections are not invented.

You do not need to design the system first.

Capture now. Organize later. Norfolk keeps up.
