Your First 10 Minutes with Chunk
You just signed up — here's exactly what to do to get the most out of Chunk from day one. No prior setup needed.
Ask your first question
Head to the Chat tab and type anything — a question, a topic you're curious about, or a task you need help with. Chunk uses AI to search the web and give you a comprehensive answer with sources.
- GPT-5.6 Luna is free for everyone — no upgrade needed to start chatting.
- Try different search modes: Auto Search picks the best mode automatically, Web Search pulls live results, and Assistant answers from AI knowledge alone.
- You can attach up to 5 images directly in your message, plus 1 document on the free plan or 3 with Pro.
Try a Research Report
Want to go deeper on a topic? Switch to Research mode and Chunk will generate a multi-page report complete with sources, citations, and structured sections.
- Quick Outline (~30s) and Standard Report (~2min) are free for all users.
- Pro unlocks Deep Research (5-7 min) and Detailed Reports with optional AI images.
- Export any report as PDF or Markdown, or share it with a public link.
Create your first Note
Open the Notes tab and create a new note. Chunk gives you a rich text editor with formatting, templates, and AI writing tools built in.
- Use templates (Research Summary, Meeting Notes, Essay Outline) to get started quickly.
- Type [[ anywhere to link to another note — this creates wiki-links that connect your ideas.
- Save any AI chat response directly as a note with one click.
Add a Document
Attach a PDF, Word doc, spreadsheet, or text file to any chat message and Chunk will read it as it answers. With Pro, upload files to the Documents tab instead and Chunk keeps them indexed so they are searchable in every chat.
- Free: attach one document per message — analyzed for that conversation, not saved to a library.
- Pro: a permanent, searchable document library. Supports PDF, DOCX, TXT, CSV, RTF, XML, MD, EPUB, and XLSX (up to 100MB).
- Tag your documents for easy filtering — use tags like "Work", "Research", or "Personal".
- Use "Documents Only" or "All" search mode in chat to include your files in AI responses.
Create a Collection
Collections let you group related documents, URLs, conversations, and research into a themed workspace. You can then chat with your collection using all its content as context.
- Add URLs and Chunk automatically extracts their content.
- Choose exactly which items in a collection provide context for AI chat.
- Perfect for focused research projects, study topics, or client briefs.
