What is Lazy, and how does it work?
Lazy is a knowledge capture tool that lets users clip articles, threads, videos and other content from whatever app they are in, typically via a keyboard shortcut, without switching context. Captures land in a networked note-taking space. The Lazy AI tier adds context-aware answers drawn from saved captures and a chat interface over the personal knowledge base.
