3. PST Files: Batch Import Now Available
Effortlessly manage large sets of archives with multi-file upload
Attention to all who juggle with PST files! We’ve eliminated the one-at-a-time hassle and introduced batch-importing of PST files to our platform.
If you’ve ever been bogged down by adding large archives individually, you’ll love this update.
Simply head to the Connect Outlook Archive menu, select all the PST files you need, hit OK, and watch as they seamlessly line up in your account.
Managing your email archives just got a whole lot smoother!
4. Evernote Integration: Quick-Look Previews
Find and preview your Evernote notes all within Curiosity
For our Evernote users out there, your workflow got a serious upgrade!
We’re thrilled to introduce quick-look previews for your Evernote notes right within the Curiosity app.
No more toggling between apps — now a swift glimpse of your content is just a click away.
This means less time searching and more time doing, with all your notes at your fingertips. Ready to preview your productivity boost?
5. AI Assistant: Your Personal Custom Prompts
Craft and save your own prompts for repeated use, tailored just for you
Our AI Assistant now supports custom prompts, giving you the power to design and save your very own commands and personas.
Whether it’s crafting the perfect LinkedIn post, getting recipe ideas, or anything in between, you can set up a prompt once, fine-tune it, and use it to your heart’s content across various contexts.
We’ve been loving the flexibility this feature offers, and we’re eager to hear how it transforms your experience too.
And stay tuned — we’re not done enhancing this feature just yet!

Goodbye glitches: we’ve been improving Curiosity with essential bug fixes
Lastly, we’re on a mission to make Curiosity as seamless as possible, and that means squashing those pesky bugs that creep up from time to time.
