How Holigram works

01 Shape it

Getting started is easy. Pick from 60+ ready-made collections across ten areas of life, each already shaped for what it holds. Wine arrives knowing producer, varietal, vintage, cellar location, and more — and every other collection comes equally complete.

Movies

Wine
Coffee
Watches
Board Games
LEGO Sets
Camping Gear
Workouts
Restaurants
Tools
Subscriptions
and dozens more

You aren't limited to the built-ins. Make a collection for anything — Soju, jigsaw puzzles, the trees in the yard. Name a field, pick what kind of thing it holds, and the collection exists. If you'd rather not design it yourself, ask the AI to suggest the fields and edit its draft.

Once entries are in, sort by any field, filter to what you're looking for, and search — a collection of a thousand things answers instantly.

Not everything fits a grid, so four other surfaces sit beside your collections:

PerceptionYour first impression on any AI. The facts about you that every answer starts from — who you are, where you live, what you won't eat — and the first thing Holigram's AI or a connected assistant sees. Each line has its own privacy switch.
SpecsheetsFacts about an area of your life rather than about you — your coffee order, your travel style, the team you follow. Every area has one, the AI reads it only when a question is in that area, and you can rename it to whatever fits.
Secret VaultIdentity facts kept apart: licence numbers, plates, addresses. Excluded from every AI grant by design, not by a setting.
NotesFreeform thinking and lists in a plain markdown space, sorted into folders when you're ready.

Documents get their own kind of collection, where the record is the file — contracts, manuals, policies — with a real file manager rather than an attachment field.

60+ collections, ready on day one

A ready-made collection for nearly everything you keep.

Your vault

Entries as a clean, friendly table — sort, filter, search.

02 Populate it

Data entry is where every catalog app loses people. Holigram gives you three ways in:

Answer a few questionsA short guided interview learns who you are — your household, your pets, what you avoid eating — and picks the areas your Holigram starts in, with your first entries already in place.
Describe what you ownSay it in a sentence and the AI drafts the rows. You edit the cells before a single entry exists.
Import a fileUpload a CSV whose column headers match your collection's fields. Holigram merges rows that are already there and tells you exactly what it imported, merged, and skipped.

On premium plans, two more channels work in the background: Holigram can read confirmation emails you point it at (with power-user mode on), and pick up reservations from your calendar.

Proposals land in one approval queue. Anything Holigram or somebody else suggests — a Smart Populate batch, something an assistant wrote, a reflection from a friend, a booking spotted in your calendar — waits there with its source attached until you approve it, unless you've told a connected assistant it may save directly; then an alert tells you what it added, so you can undo it. Nothing arrives in your Holigram behind your back.

Start with two movies

Name two films you like — they become your first real records.

Add with AI

Describe what you want kept; the rows arrive drafted for your approval.

03 Use it

Because Holigram holds the specific things you logged, it can answer across several collections at once:

"Will a 20V DeWalt battery work on all of my tools, including my outdoor power equipment?"

Answered from your drill, your saw, and your leaf blower — and honest about the 40V hedge trimmer that won't fit. Not a web average.

You can also wire collections to each other, and Holigram proposes connections it notices for you to confirm — so a question about dinner can reach your pantry, and one about a trip can reach your gear.

Spotlight is where you ask: name the collections to ground on, add where you are, and ask. Mention something in passing — an allergy, a preference — and Holigram files it where it belongs and shows you where it went. As your Holigram fills out, Spotlight also starts composing whole plans rather than single picks — say, dinner and a film, grounded in what you keep. (Plan mode unlocks as your Holigram deepens; free plans get one composition a day.)

Ask for recommendations

Grounded in the collections you named — not a web average.

Ask across everything at once

The battery question, answered from your tools and your outdoor gear.

Define your context

Name the collections to ground on; nothing else is in scope.

Plan the whole evening

A plan composed from what you keep — the dinner, the wine, the film.

Using it isn't only asking — Holigram also reaches out. Put a reminder on any record — a warranty, a registration, a renewal — and Holigram brings it to you:

One place for what needs youEvery reminder and nudge lands in a single alerts feed, badged so you can see it without hunting.
On your phoneHoligram works in any browser, installs to your home screen, and sends real notifications.
In your own calendarSubscribe to a private feed and your Holigram reminders appear beside your actual appointments.

Your Holigram sharpens as your collections fill.

04 Extend it

Recipes started as a standard collection — a grid of names, cuisines and ratings. Then we extended it. Every row now carries its ingredients with quantities, its steps in order, and the equipment the dish calls for. That structure is what makes the rest possible: a recipe view with the ingredients, steps and gear laid out the way a cook wants them, a link you paste to pull a recipe in, a flag when an ingredient hits an allergy you've told Holigram about, a substitute when something won't do, and a cook display that walks you through it one step at a time. The collection itself never changed.

That's the model. Extensions are how new features keep landing on the collections you already have, without rebuilding anything — and it's the same model that lets a Holigram Marketplace one day carry extensions other people write.

Extend a collection

A plain collection, grown into a recipe view, a link importer, allergy flags and a cook display.

Room to go deep

The surface stays no-code; more control is there when you want it — custom field types you author yourself, a collection's shape exported and imported as JSON, a bulk console for editing many entries at once, AI instructions you can edit and version, saved prompts you rerun in a tap, and View as AI, which shows exactly what a connected platform can and can't read.
