MacVoices #25192: Joe Kissell Takes Control of DEVONthink 4 (2)

In the second part of our conversation with Joe Kissell about Take Control of DEVONthink 4, Joe focuses on its updated inspector system, subtle interface improvements, and a powerful suite of new AI features. He discusses how large language model integration—from ChatGPT to Claude—enhances document sorting, summarizing, and research. Joe also shares concerns about AI, how DevonThink addresses them, and how the app balances automation with control. This edition of MacVoices is supported by MacVoices After Dark.
