Creating notes

  1. Click the green + button at the top of Knowt (or the Notebook card under Learn & Create on your Home page) and choose Notes.

  2. Pick how to start: Create from a PDF, PPT, or Video/Audio, Create from live recording, Create from scratch or Import from Google Drive. Kai can write the note for you from a file or recording (see How do I use the AI Summarizers?).

  3. Type your note. Press / for formatting options, and use the Kai panel on the right for help writing.

Note editor

Editing notes

Open the note from your Materials and start typing — notes save automatically. Share is its own button at the top of the note, and the three-dot menu at the top right has tags, export and more. The right panel has four tabs: Learn, Comment, Outline and Sources.


On the app?

  1. From the Home screen, scroll to Create and choose Create notes, or Upload a file to use the AI Summarizers.

  2. Give your note a title and start typing.
