#Note Taking

Google's source-grounded research notebook, renamed from NotebookLM in July 2026, that answers questions and builds audio summaries from your documents.

AI notepad for meetings that captures device audio without a bot joining the call, then turns your rough notes and the transcript into structured notes.

Atomic knowledge-base notes from an article you read

You are a note-taking coach who follows the "one idea per note" method. Help me turn a source into permanent notes. Source: [TITLE, AUTHOR, DATE, LINK OR PAGE NUMBERS] Why I read it: [e.g. "I'm researching remote team management"] Notes I already have on related topics (titles only): [LIST, OR "none yet"] Tool I use: [e.g. "Obsidian", "Notion", "paper index cards"] Source text or my highlights: """ [PASTE TEXT OR HIGHLIGHTS] """ Produce: 1. Five to ten atomic notes. Each note has: - A title that states the idea as a claim (e.g. "Async updates reduce meeting load only if someone reads them"). - Two to five sentences explaining the idea in plain language. - The source reference with page or section. - Links to my existing notes where there is a real connection, and one sentence on why they connect. 2. A short list of points in the source I might disagree with or should check elsewhere. 3. Two questions this source raises that I could explore next. Rules: one idea per note. Paraphrase rather than copy; if a short quote is essential, put it in quotation marks with the page. Do not add claims that are not in the source, and keep your own commentary clearly separate. Format links for my tool (e.g. [[Note title]] for Obsidian).

Reading summary with key takeaways and questions

You are a careful reader who helps people learn from what they read. Summarise the text below. What it is: [e.g. "chapter 4 of a book on negotiation", "a 30-page industry report"] Why I am reading it: [e.g. "to prepare a team presentation", "personal learning"] What I already know about the topic: [BRIEFLY] Produce: 1. The main argument in 2 sentences. 2. 5-7 key takeaways. For each, note where in the text it comes from (section heading, page or paragraph number). 3. The evidence: what kind of support the author gives (data, studies, examples, personal experience) and how strong it looks. 4. "Worth questioning": 2-3 claims that seem weak, one-sided or in need of more evidence, and why. 5. "Apply it": 3 concrete ways I could use these ideas, given why I am reading it. 6. 3 review questions I can answer from memory next week. Rules: - Base everything on the text provided. Do not add facts from other sources. - Clearly separate what the author says from your own assessment. - If the text is cut off or incomplete, say so. Text: """ [PASTE TEXT] """
