How to Use Topics & AI Tagging in Integrate
Your library knows what your highlights are about before you tell it.
Topics are the connective tissue of Integrate. They link snippets to notebooks, control what shows up in daily sessions, and power recommendations. Understanding how they work gives you control over what you see and when.
How AI tagging works
Save a snippet with 25 or more characters of text, and Integrate’s AI reads the content and suggests relevant topics.
A highlight about compound interest from a finance book might get tagged “Personal Finance” and “Investing.” A passage about leadership from a biography gets “Leadership” and “Management.”
You can accept the suggestions, remove them, or add your own. Over time the system learns from your library’s patterns.
What topics control
Topics aren’t decorative tags. They run four features:
Auto-add to notebooks. Assign a topic to a notebook with auto-add enabled, and every new snippet with that topic automatically shows up in the notebook. Your notebooks grow without you sorting anything.
Daily session selection. Topics have weights from 0 to 10. Set “Leadership” to 10 and “Cooking” to 2, and your daily sessions reflect your priorities.
Recommendations. Integrate suggests books, podcasts, and content based on your topic interests. Better tagging means better suggestions.
Search. Topic search uses semantic matching. Searching “artificial intelligence” also surfaces content tagged “machine learning” because the system understands they’re related.
Adjusting topic weights
Not everything matters equally. Topic weights let you tell Integrate what to prioritize.
Go to topic settings and move the slider:
- Weight 0: topic is muted, snippets with only this topic rarely appear
- Weight 5 (default): normal priority
- Weight 10: maximum, snippets with this topic are twice as likely to appear
Studying for something? Crank that topic to 10. Starting a new role? Boost “Leadership” and “Management.” Your sessions adjust immediately.
Tips
Don’t over-tag. 1 to 3 topics per snippet is right. Too many topics dilute the signal.
Let AI handle the first pass. Accept suggestions and only manually adjust when something is clearly wrong.
Review weights quarterly. Your priorities shift. What mattered 3 months ago might not be your focus now.
Use topics for notebook auto-add. This is the biggest time saver in the entire app. Set it up once and your notebooks organize themselves permanently.
Common questions
Can I create custom topics?
Integrate uses a curated list to keep things consistent across the system. You can request new ones.
Do topics work across all content types?
Yes. Books, podcasts, articles, videos, newsletters. Same system everywhere. That’s what makes cross-source organization possible.
What if AI tags something wrong?
Remove the bad tag, add the right one. The system improves from corrections over time.
