DEVONthink™ “Meet Your Second Brain”

In today’s world, everything is digital. From shopping receipts to important research papers, your life often fills your hard drive in the form of emails, PDFs, Word documents, multimedia files and more. Questions eventually pop up, like where do you store all of this stuff? How do you organize these very different file types, and even better, how do you find the exact file you’re looking for the second you need it? It’s almost as if you need a second brain just to keep your digital life straight.

Enter DEVONthink: The solution to this digital age conundrum. It is your second brain, the one and only database for all your digital files, be they PDFs, emails, Word docs or even multimedia files. Boasting a refined artificial intelligence, DEVONthink is exceedingly flexible and adapts to your personal needs. And if the files are not digital yet, digitize them with DEVONthink Pro Office.

Use it as your document repository, your filing cabinet, your email archive, or your project organizer; DEVONthink can do it all. You can even collect and organize data from the web for your own use, enrich it with sound and movie files from your hard drive, and then export the finished product as a website or to an Apple Pages document to print, should you so desire. Or copy the content to your iPod! The possibilities are only as limited as your imagination.

DEVONagent™ Your Tireless Research Assistant

Find Answers, Not Just a List of Links

With over 100 million websites up and running, it’s almost impossible to expect simple search sites like Google (or Yahoo, Ask.com, etc.) to help you make sense of this unbelievably huge mass of data.

DEVONagent can help. If you are tired of clicking through the hundreds of links delivered by Google (or Yahoo, Ask.com, etc.) just to find out that most of the links are outdated, broken, or lead to junk pages, you need DEVONagent. It communicates with search engines, digs through all the results for you, and gives you only those documents that are really worth reading.

Even better, it summarizes the accumulated knowledge and presents you with a list of the most important topics, as well as an interactive mind map to help make sense of the findings. Finding the information you need on the web has never been easier!

Presentation topics may change so be sure to verify on the day of the meeting. Got questions you’d like to have answered? Feel free to post them here as comments before the meeting so the presenters have a chance to prepare.
