Amanote

Amanote is a specialized note-taking and annotation application designed to transform passive course materials—such as lecture slides, PDFs, videos, and textbooks—into fully interactive learning environments. Addressing the core challenges of student engagement and organization, Amanote ensures that your notes are always structured, contextual, and directly linked to the source material, significantly boosting study efficiency and academic results.

Key Features

Amanote provides a comprehensive suite of tools that go far beyond basic text editing, delivering depth and structure essential for complex academic work.

📝 Contextual Annotation Across All Media

Unlike generic note apps that separate notes from source content, Amanote allows you to take clear, structured notes directly on or beside each page of your course material, including PowerPoint slides, ePubs, and videos. This integration ensures seamless revision, as your thoughts and annotations are always linked precisely to the relevant content, enhancing comprehension and recall.

🤖 AI Chatbot for Pedagogical Support (RAG)

Access instant, accurate answers about your course materials through an embedded AI Chatbot that leverages Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Crucially, this chatbot always cites its sources within your provided material and never trains on your data, ensuring reliable, verifiable, and private pedagogical assistance tailored specifically to your curriculum.

📐 Advanced Technical Tools and Formula Insertion

For students in STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), Amanote includes dedicated tools for inserting mathematical and chemical formulas using LaTeX, along with support for drawings, charts, and code snippets. This specialized functionality enables fast, precise note-taking during technical lectures where standard text entry is insufficient.

💡 Structured Summarization and Revision Filtering

Boost your revision efficiency by leveraging a special summary view that compiles all your notes and highlights. You can filter these aggregated notes by color—for example, filtering all highlights marked red to instantly review every definition you cataloged—allowing you to generate targeted, focused summaries for rapid study.

🤝 Collaboration and Peer Learning

Amanote facilitates collaborative learning by allowing students to add comments, questions, or useful resources linked directly to specific pages of course materials. Additionally, the Note Sharing feature lets you quickly generate a code to share your organized notes with classmates, fostering a supportive and efficient study environment.

Use Cases

Amanote helps students move from disorganized, passive consumption to active, structured learning in several key areas:

1. Mastering Complex STEM Lectures: During an Econometrics lecture involving complex equations, you can quickly switch to Math mode (LaTeX) to accurately transcribe formulas directly alongside the corresponding lecture slide. This eliminates the time-consuming process of handwriting or formatting equations later, ensuring your notes are complete and legible immediately.

2. Efficiently Preparing for Exams: Instead of flipping through hundreds of slides, you use the summary view to filter only the yellow highlights (which you designated for "Key Concepts") and the blue highlights ("Exam-Relevant Case Studies"). This instant filtering creates a tailored, high-impact study guide in seconds, cutting down revision time by focusing only on essential information.

3. Improving Course Materials (Institutional Use): As an educational institution, you can utilize the actionable insights feature where students mark pages as "understood" or "not understood." This provides professors with immediate, data-driven feedback on which specific topics or slides require clarification, allowing for continuous and targeted course improvement.
