I'm sure IKI will become a great tool one day, but it needs improvements right now. It excels and performs really well if you want to talk to a collection using A.I. and get relevant information. This is where it truly shines right now.

But it falls short when it comes to the consistency and ability to save items. I spent the afternoon creating some collections. I have a list of my favorite YouTube videos that I attempted to save into a collection but I was faced with inconsistency such as some videos didn't save or bookmark to my collection. I then went to the library to click on those videos and try to "send" them to the collection, but they never showed up. I tried to upload 10 videos into a collection, and only 6 of them showed up. I still can't get all the videos into the collection by clicking on them manually.

The first time I created a collection for my pdfs and went to bulk upload them only half the pdfs showed up in the collection. I would now have to look at my collection and spend time figuring out which pdfs didn't upload and then go and try to upload them one by one because I don't trust the bulk uploading, and I'm 100% positive if I tried again, then half the stuff wouldn't save to the collection because of its inconsistency.

If you buy a tool like this, then I'm sure you will want to highlight text across the internet and save them as notes to a collection. Well this isn't working properly either. If you highlight anything from a site with a login, then it doesn't save the note and instead creates a "You need to log in" page in your collection. Also, if you manually create a note on IKI, then it has no header or details on the card in your collection; it is just an untitled and unorganized blank card. So if you save 5 notes, then you will have to click on each one individually and open them to find out which note it is.

I tried to upload .csv and they don't upload... Instead, it says, "We've successfully uploaded 0 files. Would you like to add them to the collection?" I have no idea if it can read .csv sheets for online viewing because I can't get a single one to upload.

It is nice you can upload PDFs and view some of its content but I think it needs to have a pdf reader application built into it where you can view the whole pdf and even have it save the page you left off on so that we can upload books and be able to read them daily and come back the next day and begin where we left off.

Also, if this is a digital library, then Images are a must-have feature to upload infographics, etc.

Frankly, at this point in my review, I've lost interest in testing anything further with this application until the basics are sorted out and the simple consistency of saving bookmarks and notes is fixed. I would love to know if you can upload fonts or PSD projects? It would make sense if this is a digital library that all file types be supported and a font reader/viewer be implemented to view our fonts in the library like with the tool Mediaplace. Also, PSDs so that we can view Adobe project design files.

Should you skip this deal? I think if you have extra money and the time and patience for things to get sorted out then I think this is something good to invest in. Because as I said, right now, it excels at being able to chat with your specific documents and files. This feature alone proves to me that they have the capability to create a great tool, they just need some time to figure out the rest and iron out the kinks. I have extra money so I plan to buy and hold this product and wait 59 days to see if things get ironed out. The developers do care about the product, and you can tell they have passion for this, so I do believe this will turn into an amazing tool as time follows. The developers have a good vision for the product, and I'm sure the final product will be amazing.
