Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when drafting or researching from a personal file collection and you want to inspect where an AI answer came from before incorporating it into notes.

Who it is for

  • People who need to question and write from their own document collections.
  • Researchers and readers who want source-linked answers for literature review and note-taking.

Documented uses

  • Ask questions about documents or the current topic notebook and inspect the cited pages.
  • Add sourced answers to a draft and edit them alongside personal notes.
  • Organize and search document collections, including folders of supported file types.
  • Import references, add research papers or save web pages as sources.
  • Export a notebook with citations and a selected bibliography style.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The README describes IncarnaMind as not yet released. It says users can try it by running from source with Node.js 24 or newer; planned installers are described for macOS, Windows and Linux. The project describes itself as free and open source under Apache-2.0.

  • Citation checks compare quoted passages with their cited sources; the app marks failed checks as unverified rather than presenting them as passed.
  • Model access can use a ChatGPT Plus or Pro plan, a provider API key, or a local model through Ollama.
  • The documented file formats include PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, CSV, Markdown and plain text.
  • The source-running route requires Node.js 24 or newer; documented installer caveats vary by operating system.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
