Insights

The Insights page helps you see patterns in what you're reading. It combines tag-based theme analysis with AI-suggested highlights to surface connections across your library.

Theme Cards​

The top of the Insights page shows theme cards — one for each tag in your library. Each card displays:

  • Item count — How many articles are tagged with this topic
  • Content type breakdown — Distribution of articles, PDFs, videos, podcasts, and other content types within the tag

Click a theme card to drill down into all items with that tag.

Cold Start​

If your library has fewer than 5 items, the Insights page shows an onboarding prompt instead of theme cards. Save a few more articles to see your themes emerge.

AI-Suggested Highlights​

Below the theme cards, subscribers see AI-suggested highlights — passages from across your library that Sensemaker's AI has identified as semantically connected.

Each suggestion shows:

  • The highlighted passage
  • The source article
  • A connection type label (supports, extends, challenges, or new angle)

Working with Suggestions​

  • Accept — Converts the suggestion into a real highlight in your library
  • Dismiss — Removes the suggestion from view

You can filter suggestions by status: pending, accepted, or dismissed.

How Connections Are Found​

Sensemaker analyzes content across your library to find passages that relate to common themes. It's not keyword matching — the AI understands semantic meaning, so it can connect a passage about "network effects in social platforms" with one about "viral loops in consumer apps" even though they use different terminology.

Tips​

  • Tag consistently to get useful theme cards — the more organized your tags, the clearer the patterns
  • Review suggested highlights weekly — they accumulate as you save more content
  • Accept liberally — accepted suggestions become searchable highlights you can export to Obsidian or Markdown
