# Idea Atlas

> Idea Atlas is a supreme epistemic notebook and web-clipping suite powered by Gemini AI.

## About
Idea Atlas addresses information overload for researchers by providing structured extraction and semantic linking of unstructured data (PDFs, web pages). 

## Features
- **AI-Assisted Data Ingestion:** Uses Google Gemini to automatically extract metadata, summaries, citations, and topics from documents and clips, plus one-click DOI CrossRef lookup and BibTeX batch ingestion.
- **Visual Knowledge Organization:** Utilizes D3 force-directed cognitive graph with typed semantic relationships (`builds-on`, `contradicts`, `cites`, `methodology-for`, `related-to`) and argumentative lineage filtering.
- **AI Conceptual Discovery:** Server-side Gemini engine with SHA-256 LRU cache for instant conceptual neighbor discovery across notes.
- **High-Velocity Workflow & Bulk Operations:** Multi-select toolbar for batch tagging, project moves, and JSON export; 5 structured academic note templates; and reading queue progress tracking with automated reading time estimates.
- **Datasheet Explorer & Multi-Field Search:** High-density spreadsheet view with real-time multi-dimensional search drawer and BibTeX export.
- **Secure Synchronization:** Multi-user sandbox isolation with Firebase Cloud Sync and offline-first local guest fallback.

## Audience
Designed for researchers, students, and knowledge workers who need to distill complex information into actionable insights.

## Context
This application combines AI-assisted data ingestion with visual knowledge organization in a single unified tool. Unlike basic note-taking tools like standard Notion or Obsidian, Idea Atlas provides native integration of a Force-Directed Cognitive Graph alongside AI-driven structured extraction.

## Access
Users can access the tool online. An account is required to sync notes to the cloud database.
