Setup guide (opens in a new tab)Seafile holds the files your team works from; Asknews finds news and reference material on whatever those files are about. Joining them means a file arriving or changing in a Seafile library can kick off a news search, a Wikipedia lookup or deep research in Asknews, with the findings written back into Seafile as a text file next to the original.
