about

A small tool for using what you already have.

Most of what people pay to learn is already explained somewhere, by someone who does it for a living. The hard part is finding the two minutes that answer your question — and knowing you can trust them. That is the only problem this tool tries to solve.

Why it exists

Video is where a lot of real knowledge lives now — lectures, talks, walkthroughs, the recordings of your own calls and courses. It is also the hardest format to use. You need one answer and it sits somewhere inside hours of material. So you scrub through it, or you rewatch, or you give up and ask a chatbot that confidently invents a quote nobody ever said.

This tool does something narrow instead: it reads the material you point it at, answers your question only from what is actually in there, and shows you the exact moment behind every sentence so you can check it yourself in one click. When the material does not cover something, it says so.

That is all it is. If it saves someone the cost of a course to learn something they already had access to — or saves an evening of scrubbing — that is enough of a reason for it to exist.

FOUNDER

Leonardo Irimia

I built this for myself first. I kept saving videos I never rewatched and taking notes I could never find again, then losing evenings hunting for one thing someone had explained months earlier. I didn’t want another summariser. I wanted to be able to ask, and to be shown where the answer came from so I could decide for myself whether to believe it.

I run this as one person — under IDEM Universal Works. It is small, and I’d rather say that plainly than pretend otherwise. If something breaks, the person who wrote it reads your email.

How the work gets done

An ordinary org chart with a slightly unusual staff. Being one person is why the price can stay where it is — and why this page tells you exactly who is behind the tool.

Retrieval
The reader
Reads the material behind each question and hands over only what it can point to in the source.
per question

Yes, the AI helped write this page too. It seemed dishonest not to mention it.

Three things we try to get right

Show the source, always

Every claim carries the moment it came from, so you can check it in a click. If the material doesn’t cover something, the answer says that instead of filling the gap.

Be useful before being paid

The free plan is meant to be genuinely usable, not a locked demo. And the price stays what it is — when we want to say thank you, we add value, not a discount.

The work belongs to whoever made it

We sell a way to search and question material, never the material itself. Every answer points back to the original, and anyone can ask us to remove their work.

Tell me what’s missing

This is early, and it is better when people say what they actually need. If something is confusing, slow, or simply not there yet — write to me. I read everything, and a fair amount of what exists today came from someone pointing out what didn’t work.

Or just try it

The free plan needs no card. Point it at some material and ask it something you actually want to know.
