Every card in a source, found for you.

Give Mine a PDF or a URL and it finds every argument the source makes, then cuts each one into a card. There is no claim steering it, so you see what the author is actually arguing.

[02] How to use it

01

Add a source

Upload a PDF, paste one or more URLs, or pick a PDF that is already in your workspace and choose Mine from its menu.

02

Choose how cards should read

Set the tag style, tag length, and cut style the same way you would for Search. Every card in the run follows them.

03

Read while it works

Cards appear as they are cut. For a PDF, they show up highlighted directly on the page, with suggestions in the margin as you scroll.

04

Keep what you want

Drag the cards you want into a notebook, or send the whole run there at once. Mine the same PDF again later with the same settings and it opens instantly.

[03] Reading, not just extracting

The cards are already on the page.

A PDF opens in a reader with every card Mine found highlighted right where it sits, even when a card runs across a page break. Read the source the way you normally would and pull evidence out as you go, without switching between a reader and a results page.

Surfaced while you read. Drops straight into a notebook without leaving the page.

[04] What you get

One card per argument

Mine splits a source where the argument actually changes, not where the page happens to break. A chapter with three real arguments comes back as three cards, not twelve paragraphs.

Warrants, called out

Each card comes with a short breakdown of what it claims and why, so you can tell a card's job at a glance before you read the whole thing.

Real citations

Books, journal articles, and reports are cited from their actual publication details, not from whatever name happens to sit near the top of the page.

Scanned and messy PDFs

Scanned pages, two-column layouts, and footnote-heavy academic writing all come through word for word.

[05] When to use it

Prepping a new author

Mine the book everyone on the circuit is reading and have the whole thing cut before the weekend.

Digitizing old files

Turn a stack of PDFs your team has had for years into searchable, cited cards in your workspace.

Reading with a head start

Open a hard theory text with the arguments already found, and spend your time understanding them instead of hunting for them.

Mine your own source.
