Start with a product question.
Customers keep rebuilding the same filters. Save a useful conversation with Claude about what to investigate. The original stays beside the evidence you collect next.
One product question, five separate pages. The sources stay beside the work.
Your notebook. Your choice of AI.
Your notes have a home beyond a conversation. Choose how AI works with them—or use Notations without it.
Use your existing assistant
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or another MCP-compatible assistant. Search, read, edit, tag, and save notes from the tool you already use.

Add a supported provider’s API key to work with AI inside Notations. Provider usage is billed separately by that provider.
Understand setup and costsMeaning-based retrieval is optional and needs a separate OpenAI embeddings key. Standard search works without one.

A few practical questions.
Do I need AI to use Notations?
No. You can write, organize, search by keyword, and export notes without an AI connection. AI features are optional.
Can I use the AI assistant I already have?
You can connect Claude or another assistant that supports remote MCP servers. Your assistant can search, read, create, edit, move, and tag notes. Compatibility and connection options depend on the assistant you use.
How does search by meaning work?
Ordinary notebook search uses keywords. Semantic retrieval through AI tools requires a separate OpenAI embeddings API key and an indexed notebook. Without that setup, those tools fall back to keyword search.
What works offline?
With offline mode enabled and your notebook synced to the device, you can read and write notes without a connection. Changes sync when you reconnect. Cloud AI, sharing, publishing, and first-time setup need an internet connection.
Who can read a shared note?
Notes start private. Enabling link sharing makes a note readable by anyone with its link. Publishing also lists it on your public profile. An unlisted link is not restricted to a named recipient. The note toolbar lets you share this version or all versions. Publishing applies to the iteration group.
