Universal Ingest // Every format becomes knowledge

Drop it in.
Celestos reads
everything.

Book, lecture recording, contract PDF, folder of scattered notes, audio from a meeting, image of a whiteboard, spreadsheet of sales data — drop any of it into Celestos and it becomes part of your searchable, connected knowledge graph. Extracted, indexed, semantically linked to everything you already know. Not just stored. Understood.

Every format // What Celestos can read

If it contains knowledge, Celestos can ingest it.

Drop a file, paste a link, or point Celestos at a folder. Everything below is extracted, indexed, and connected to your memory graph โ€” privately, on your machine, with no cloud processing required.

Books // Your entire reading life in one place

Drop a book. Ask questions about it. Forever.

Every book you feed Celestos becomes a searchable node in your knowledge galaxy. Not just the file โ€” the ideas. Chapters link to related memories. Highlights connect to sessions where you discussed the same concept. And when you ask Celestos something, it draws from your books the same way it draws from your conversations.

Audio & Video // If it was said, Celestos can know it

Lectures. Meetings. Interviews. Podcasts. All searchable.

Drop any audio or video and Celestos transcribes it locally using Whisper โ€” the same model that powers professional transcription, running entirely on your machine. The transcript becomes a searchable node in your knowledge graph. Ask what was said. Find when a topic came up. Extract the key moments. Build flashcards from a lecture. Turn a meeting into tasks grouped by person.

Lectures

Drop a recording or YouTube link. Celestos transcribes it, then generates study notes, flashcards, and a quiz โ€” all from your actual lecture, not a generic summary.

> turn this lecture into study notes, flashcards, quiz, and a PDF
Meetings

Drop the recording. Get back a summary, action items, and tasks grouped by who said them. Your meeting is done before you've finished your coffee.

> turn this recording into minutes, tasks and a PDF
Podcasts & interviews

Pull the key moments. Extract quotes. Make short clips from the strongest parts. Find every mention of a topic with timestamp screenshots.

> screenshot every mention of "compounding"
Images & whiteboards

Photo of a whiteboard, scanned page, screenshot of a doc โ€” Celestos OCRs it with Tesseract and makes the text searchable. Nothing stays locked in an image.

> extract text from this whiteboard photo

After the drop // What knowledge ingest actually means

Not just stored. Wired into everything you already know.

Indexed & searchable

Every word extracted from your files is searchable from Orb, Chat, or the memory galaxy. "Find all my documents that mention X" โ€” it works.

Semantically connected

Celestos draws edges between your ingested files and related sessions โ€” even when the words don't overlap. A book about habits connects to your productivity conversations automatically.

Becomes a planet

Ingested content becomes memory nodes in your galaxy โ€” orbiting the concept planet that fits. Your books, your lectures, your meetings โ€” all visible, flyable, navigable.

Questions answered from it

Once something is ingested, Celestos uses it to answer your questions โ€” not from its training data, from your actual files. "What did that contract say about termination?" asks your document, not the internet.

Podcast-ready

Any ingested topic can be turned into a Memory Podcast. "Make a podcast episode from everything I've ingested about machine learning" โ€” script written by your local model, narrated by local TTS voices.

Private. Always.

All extraction, OCR, transcription, and indexing runs on your machine. Whisper, Tesseract, qpdf, DuckDB โ€” every tool runs locally. Your files never reach a cloud service.

Tools under the hood // What does the actual work

Best-in-class local tools. You never have to install them yourself.

Celestos ships with 22 built-in CLI tools already wired up and ready. You describe what you want in plain language โ€” Celestos picks the right tool and runs it. You never touch a terminal.
