# AI assistants

> Use your Clips and Memos from ChatGPT, Claude and other AI assistants that support MCP.

Ask about your recordings where you already work. ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and
other AI assistants can search your Clips and Memos and answer from their
text, save notes from the conversation, and review what your workflows
drafted. Italic shares text, never audio, and an assistant reaches only the
Italic account you connect.

## Connect an assistant [#connect-an-assistant]

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pick the assistant">
    In **Connectors**, under **Agents**, choose your assistant. Italic lists
    ChatGPT (with Codex), Claude (with Claude Code), Cursor, VS Code,
    Perplexity, Copilot CLI, Notion AI, Raycast, Zed, Warp, Manus and goose.
  </Step>
  <Step title="Add Italic there">
    Follow the assistant's page: it has a **Connect** button, an install link
    or a command to copy, and says which of the assistant's plans can add
    Italic.
  </Step>
  <Step title="Sign in and choose permissions">
    Italic's connection page opens. Sign in, check what the assistant may do,
    and choose **Allow selected permissions**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Any other assistant that supports remote MCP servers can connect with
Italic's server address:

```

For step-by-step setup, see [Italic in Claude](/guides/claude) and
[Italic MCP](/guides/mcp).

## What you can ask [#what-you-can-ask]

- "What did I say about the Lisbon trip?"
- "What's my latest Italic Clip?"
- "Recap my Italic notes from this week."
- "Save these meeting notes to Italic."
- "Rename my book club memo to October book club."
- "What drafts are waiting in Italic?"

In ChatGPT, Italic can also show your recordings, a recording, Devices,
Settings, Workflows or Connectors inside the chat. Approving a workflow draft
from an assistant sends it through the account it was drafted for, such as
your Gmail.

## Permissions [#permissions]

On Italic's connection page you choose what the assistant may do. Untick
anything you don't want to allow:

- Read and search recording text, and read recording events.
- Create recordings, edit recording text and delete recordings.
- See or edit your profile and email, saved devices and preferences.
- See your workflows and connected app accounts, and turn workflows on or off.
- Approve or discard what your workflows drafted.

The page also asks to confirm which Italic account you use, see your email
address and stay connected. To change permissions later, disconnect and
connect again.

## Disconnect [#disconnect]

In **Connectors → Agents**, choose the assistant, then **Disconnect** beside
its connection. For an assistant that isn't listed there, open **Security**
(on your iPhone, in Profile) and choose **Revoke access** under **Connected
applications**.
Disconnecting takes effect at once. You can also remove Italic in the
assistant's own settings.
