Chat with All Notes— AI-Powered Cross-Document Search and Synthesis
Ask questions about your entire HyNote workspace and receivecited, synthesized answers drawn from all your notes, transcripts, and PDFs.
Ask one question and search every note, transcript, and PDF in your workspace at once. Every answer includes clickable source citations so you can verify the context.
AI That Reads Everything, So You Don't Have To
Chat with All Notes indexes every word in your workspace — typed notes, audio transcripts, imported PDFs, captured web pages, and OCR-extracted text. Ask a question once and get a single synthesized answer instead of opening and searching dozens of individual files. Useful for students reviewing a semester of material, professionals preparing for performance reviews, or researchers connecting insights across unrelated documents.
Answers You Can Trust, With Proof
Every answer comes with clickable citations that link directly to the source paragraph, transcript timestamp, or original note. You do not have to trust the AI blindly — verify every claim in one click. This makes Chat with All Notes suitable for research, legal contexts, and any workflow where accuracy and traceability matter.
How it works
- 1
Build your workspace
Add content to HyNote — record audio, upload PDFs, capture web pages, type notes, or import transcripts. All text content is automatically indexed for search.
- 2
Open Chat with All Notes
Access the global chat from your dashboard. It connects to every notebook, transcript, PDF, and note in your workspace simultaneously.
- 3
Ask in plain English
Type questions naturally — "What were the key risks discussed in Q3 marketing meetings?" or "Summarize the arguments from the PDFs I uploaded last week." The more specific your question, the more precise the answer.
What you get
- Cross-document synthesisAsk a single question and get an answer compiled from multiple notes, transcripts, and PDFs — no need to search each file individually.
- Natural language understandingAsk complex, multi-part questions in plain English. The AI understands context and intent, not just exact keyword matches.
- Clickable source citationsEvery answer includes links to the exact paragraph, transcript timestamp, or note section used. Verify every claim by jumping to the original source in one click.
- Full content indexingAll text in your workspace is indexed — typed notes, transcribed audio, PDF content, web page imports, and OCR-extracted text from images.
- Date-range filteringNarrow searches by date range to focus on specific periods — a quarter, semester, or project phase (as of Q1 2026).
Use cases
- Students: interactive study tutorTurn a semester of lectures, reading notes, and PDFs into an interactive tutor. Ask the AI to explain concepts based on your class materials or generate practice questions from your study plan.
- Professionals: instant meeting recallRetrieve action items, decisions, and quotes from months of meeting minutes without re-reading old notes. Walk into every meeting prepared.
- Researchers: cross-source discoveryUncover themes and connections across hundreds of web pages, OCR scans, case studies, and transcripts — insights that would be impossible to spot by reading files one at a time.
- Project managers: one-click recapsAsk for a summary of everything related to a specific project across meeting notes, specs, and research stored in your workspace.
- Writers and journalists: fact verificationLocate specific quotes, statistics, or statements across all interview transcripts and research materials, with source links back to the original context.
- Teams: shared knowledge accessTeam members can query the shared workspace to find information without interrupting colleagues — onboarding context, project history, and past decisions are all searchable.
