How it works

From scattered sources to structured output in four steps

One unified loop: collect sources, question with citations, generate artifacts, and learn through AI-powered study tools.

01

Import sources

Upload PDFs, paste links, add YouTube videos, drop notes, or let AI discover academic papers from a prompt.

02

Ask with citations

Chat with your sources and get answers grounded in evidence. Every claim links back to the original material.

03

Generate content

Turn the same evidence into reports, slides, podcasts, quizzes, flashcards, mind maps, and websites.

04

Learn faster

Review with quizzes, flashcards, mind maps, and audio overviews generated from your selected sources.

Core Features

Watch the product work, not a static screenshot

Each preview mirrors a real notebook workflow: import sources, ask with evidence, and generate useful artifacts from the material you selected.

Grounded Answers

Answers stay tied to the exact source passage

Ask across selected sources and verify the answer immediately. Inline citations open the matching source section, then the highlight moves as the cursor checks each claim.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

What types of sources can I import?

You can import PDFs, Word documents, slides, web articles (URLs), YouTube videos, audio files, copied text, and academic papers. Pro users can also discover and import academic papers automatically from a research prompt.

How does source-grounded AI work?

Every AI response is grounded in your uploaded sources using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). Answers include inline citations that link back to the exact passages in your documents, so you can always verify claims.

How long can AI podcasts be?

Free accounts can generate up to 5-minute audio overviews. Pro accounts can generate podcast-style conversations up to 120 minutes (2 hours) with two AI hosts, in 8 languages, with customizable format, pace, and focus.

Can I generate websites from my sources?

Yes. The website generator transforms your source material into fully responsive, publishable websites. You can preview on desktop and mobile, iterate with feedback, and publish with one click.

What study tools are available?

The Studio panel can generate quizzes, flashcards, mind maps, reports, data tables, timelines, comparisons, and other study materials from your selected sources. You can also save useful answers as notes.

What can I do after asking questions about my sources?

Keep working with the same selected source set to create reports, quizzes, flashcards, mind maps, slides, audio overviews, and websites. You can inspect cited passages, save answers to notes, and choose different sources for a follow-up question.

Is my data secure?

Notebook access is checked against your account and sharing permissions. Uploaded sources are processed to provide indexing, cited chat, and generation. Read our Privacy Policy for details about storage, providers, and data handling.

Can I collaborate with my team?

Notebooks support sharing with configurable access levels. Share your research workspace with collaborators and work from the same source set.
