title Ask Stella
description Chat with your bookmarks, organize library, and more

Over time your library becomes your personal knowledge base. Stella lets you chat with it — ask questions, get summaries, find things you vaguely remember, or have it organize your collections for you.

Stella is in beta and available for [Pro](/premium-features) users. Your data stays on Raindrop.io's own servers — never shared with third parties or used for training. [More on privacy](#faq)

Starting a chat

Click the **Ask** button in the top right corner of the app and type what you need. 
    <Frame style={{padding:0}}>![](/assets/stella-add.png)</Frame>

    To ask about a specific bookmark:
    - **Right-click** any bookmark and select <Badge>Ask</Badge>
    - Open a bookmark and switch to the <Badge>Ask</Badge> tab
</Tab>

<Tab title="Browser extension">
    When saving or editing a bookmark in the extension, click the <Icon icon="sparkles" size={16} /> button — it opens a chat about that web page.

Asking Stella

Just describe the end result in your language — even if it takes several steps, like find everything about Japan and move it to Travel. No need to remember exact names or where you saved things. Every answer links to the source, and any big changes need your confirmation first.

Find

Stella understands meaning, not just keywords. Describe what you're looking for however you remember it.

``` that article about morning routines I saved last spring ``` ``` the Italian recipe with the weird ingredient ``` ``` travel recommendations for Tokyo from that blogger ``` ``` Which bookmarks mention "machine learning" but aren't too technical? ``` ``` Find articles similar to this one ```

Summarize

Get the gist of an article, compare sources, or decide if something is worth reading.

``` Summarize this article in 3 bullet points ``` ``` Explain this in simple terms ``` ``` What do my bookmarks say about productivity? ``` ``` Compare these two articles ``` ``` What questions does this article answer? ``` ``` Is this worth reading if I'm interested in [topic]? ```

Organize

Sort, tag, clean up duplicates, and reorganize. Stella suggests changes — you review and approve before anything is applied.

``` Organize my Unsorted bookmarks into collections ``` ``` Suggest a better structure for my library ``` ``` Find articles about Formula 1 and tag them by team ``` ``` Find everything about Japan and move it to Travel ``` ``` Clean up my tags — merge duplicates like "recipe" and "recipes" ``` ``` Find broken links ``` ``` Show duplicate bookmarks ```

Rediscover

Surface patterns, forgotten bookmarks, and insights from what you've collected over time.

``` What topics do I save the most? ``` ``` What have I been saving lately? ``` ``` Create a reading list from my design bookmarks ``` ``` Show my highlights about productivity ```

Get help

``` How do I share a collection publicly? ``` ``` Where can I change keyboard shortcuts? ``` ``` How do I set up the browser extension? ```

Reopening chats

All conversations are saved automatically. Click the chat name (or New chat) in the top left corner to see the list of previous chats and continue any of them.

Limitations

  • New bookmarks need a few minutes to be indexed before Stella can find them
  • Responses are usually accurate but not guaranteed — verify anything critical
