FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a personal knowledge base?

A personal knowledge base is a searchable library of things you've learned, ideas you want to remember, and resources you want to reference later. Chive builds one automatically from the videos and content you share with it.

How does Chive build a knowledge base from videos?

When you DM or paste a link to Chive, it extracts the structured knowledge from that content — ingredients, steps, key claims, or context — and stores it under your account as a searchable entry.

What types of content can I save to my Chive knowledge base?

Chive accepts TikTok videos, Instagram Reels, YouTube videos, and X threads. It handles recipes, tutorials, workouts, educational explainers, comedy clips, travel tips, finance advice, and general content.

Can I search across everything I've saved?

Yes. All saved content is full-text searchable. You can search by topic, ingredient, person, keyword, or content type.

Is my knowledge base private?

Yes. Your saved content is private to your account by default. Chive does not make your library public or share it with other users.

How is Chive different from Notion or Obsidian?

Notion and Obsidian require you to manually write or paste content. Chive automatically extracts and structures the content from videos and links — no manual input needed.
