01Work
Recover the why.
Return to an old project and recover the decisions, people, files, and evidence that shaped it, without rebuilding the story by hand.
Personal knowledge systemComing soon
Quillby Palmetto InteractiveYou know it’s in there. Quill brings it back.
A decision from an old project. A photo you can almost picture. A person you recognize but cannot place. Your digital life is full of answers buried across files, photos, projects, and relationships. Quill brings them back, with the source attached.
The problemYou remember the moment. Not the filename.

A connection

and shows you the evidence
Personal life search
No filename · no exact phrase · no problem
The answer exists.
The path to it doesn’t.
Search tools expect you to remember where something lives and what it was called. Human memory does not work that way. Quill starts with the fragments you still have and reconnects the rest.
02Memory
Find the moment.
Describe the photo, place, event, or fragment you remember. Quill follows the clues even when you cannot name the file or date.
03People
Restore the context.
See how a person, project, decision, and artifact connect so a familiar name becomes useful context again.
Hybrid retrieval
Exact · semantic · graph
Three ways to find.
One answer that holds up.
Quill runs multiple retrieval paths together, fuses their signals, and reranks the strongest evidence. Each method covers the blind spots of the others.
01Exact
Find the words.
Fast keyword retrieval catches names, phrases, filenames, and the details you remember precisely.
02Semantic
Find the meaning.
Embeddings recover relevant material even when your question and the source use different language.
03Graph
Find the connection.
Entity grounding and bounded graph traversal reveal how people, projects, places, and artifacts relate.
Durable orchestration
Continuous · resumable · provenance-aware
The archive keeps moving.
Quill keeps up.
Long-running workflows scan, extract, embed, ground, and connect the archive in bounded steps. Interrupted work resumes safely, and unchanged material is not needlessly processed again.
- 01
Scan
Notice what changed without rereading everything.
- 02
Extract
Turn varied personal records into useful text and metadata.
- 03
Embed
Place documents and entities in one shared semantic space.
- 04
Ground
Resolve identity and connect evidence to the knowledge graph.
- 05
Retrieve
Run exact, semantic, and graph search together.
- 06
Cite
Return the answer with a path back to the source.
Efficient intelligence
Deeper reasoning
only where it helps.
The system uses deterministic processing for facts it can know directly and model inference where judgment improves the result. One embedding can support multiple retrieval paths; only the strongest evidence earns more expensive reranking.
Fast by composition
Independent search paths run together, then converge into one ranked result.
Built for precision
Exact matches, semantic similarity, graph context, and reranking reinforce one another.
Evidence, not guesswork
Every useful answer preserves its origin and a direct path back to the supporting source.
Private by design
The archive remains access-controlled and locally owned, with read-only source connections and explicit boundaries.
Quill · Coming soon
The complexity stays underneath.
The search simply works.
Quill is being developed by Palmetto Interactive and will be offered through membl. We are preparing a private preview for people who want their digital life to become useful, connected, and searchable without surrendering control of it.
