How to Use the AI Clone Feature on Glasp

👉 Video guide: Build Your "AI Clone" with Glasp (YouTube)

Have you ever wished you had an AI version of yourself that could answer questions based on everything you have read and learned? With Glasp's AI Clone feature (formerly known as Ask Digital Me), you can build exactly that. Your AI Clone learns from your highlights and notes on Glasp, and it generates personalized answers and recommendations based on your learning history. The more you highlight, the smarter it gets.

This feature is powerful for:

Quickly recalling and searching your past learnings in a conversational way
Sharing your knowledge with others through your AI Clone
Chatting with other people's AI Clones and learning from their reading history

In this tutorial, we will walk you through how to use the AI Clone feature, from opening your own clone to asking questions, checking sources, and exploring other people's clones.

Step 1: Sign up for Glasp and build your knowledge base

If you are new to Glasp, please sign up and install the Glasp browser extension first. You can refer to this tutorial.

Your AI Clone is built from your highlights and notes. So, the more articles, PDFs, and YouTube videos you highlight, the better your AI Clone can answer. If you have just signed up and don't have enough highlights yet, you can still try other people's AI Clones in Step 6.

Step 2: Open your AI Clone

Go to your profile page on Glasp. You can see the Ask AI Clone button at the top left of your profile, next to the Edit Profile button. You can also click AI Clone in the left sidebar.

Step 3: Ask anything

It opens your AI Clone's chat page. You can type any question in the Ask anything box, use the microphone icon to ask by voice, or start from one of the suggested questions.

For example, if you ask "I want to become a product manager. What should I start with?", your AI Clone answers based on what you have highlighted, with links to the original articles.

You can also use it like a search engine for your own knowledge. For example, you can ask it to show articles that mention specific words, and it lists the related articles from your highlights.

Note: AI Clone is experimental, and the answers may not always reflect your views. Please check the sources for important information.

Step 4: Check the sources

Each answer shows a Sources section at the bottom. Click it to see which articles and highlights the answer was generated from, along with how much each source contributed. So, you can always trace an answer back to the original content.

Step 5: Continue and revisit conversations

Your conversations are saved in the sidebar on the left. You can open the sidebar to revisit past chats or click the compose icon at the top to start a new conversation.

Step 6: Chat with other people's AI Clones

You can also ask questions to other users' AI Clones. Visit someone's profile page and click the Ask AI Clone button.

Their AI Clone answers based on what they have been reading and learning, with sources from their highlights. It is a great way to learn from people you admire. You can also discover clones from Explore AI Clones in the sidebar.

It's easy and fun, right? With the AI Clone feature, your highlights and notes become a living knowledge base that you and others can talk to. Keep highlighting, and your AI Clone will keep getting smarter.
