Field notes
Before filing, users can choose folders, date ranges, or individual files and see an estimate of cost and time. The site says Crow processes older files first, updates existing notes as new material arrives, and leaves source documents untouched. Its example brain contains 23 notes about a fictional Turin coffee roastery.
