Cornell Notes

Cornell Notes is the note-taking method built into ASAI. Instead of one long page of writing, each note is split into three parts: the key points, the detailed notes, and a summary you write back in your own words.

Where to find it

Dashboard → Step 1 — Read the Topic → Cornell Notes.

The notes list

Each saved note is a card. A card shows:

• its title (for example 1. Motion, forces and energy)
• the chapter and topic it belongs to (for example Physics · Measurement & Quantities)
• a preview of the opening lines
• when you last changed it — Updated: 29/09/2026

On a card you can Edit, Share or Delete it.

New Note — the round button at the bottom right — starts a fresh one.

Writing a note

The editor asks for:

• Topic or Title — what the note is about
• a date, filled in for you
• Chapter — pick from the list (e.g. Chapter 1)
• Topic — pick from the list (e.g. Overview)

Then two columns:

• KEY NOTES — the cues, questions and short points that will prompt your memory later
• NOTES — the detailed writing

And underneath, Summary — the whole note compressed into a few sentences.

When you're done: Save Changes. If you change your mind, Cancel leaves the note untouched.

Doing the work for you

Two helpers sit in the editor:

• Generate keynotes — reads your notes and proposes the key points
• Generate summary from notes — writes the summary from what you've written

The method only works if you write the summary

The summary is the part that makes Cornell Notes better than plain notes — it forces you to compress the material yourself. Treat the generated version as a draft to correct, not a replacement.
