AI Notebook & Quiz LM

AI Notebook & Quiz LM gives you a Mac workspace for questioning source material and turning it into study aids, suited to students, researchers, and anyone reviewing documents or recordings.

What you get

You get cited answers and study materials from your own sources.

With AI Notebook & Quiz LM, you can bring PDFs, articles, websites, YouTube videos, slides, and recordings into one notebook on your Mac. Ask questions about what you’ve added and get answers with citations, so you can return to the supporting material. You can also ask questions across several sources to connect ideas without reviewing each one separately.

When you need to learn the material, you can turn it into flashcards, quizzes, and study guides. Mind maps help you see how topics fit together, while conversational audio overviews let you review key points when you’d rather listen than read.

For lectures and interviews, you get searchable transcripts, summaries, and references to specific moments. That gives you a way to find a passage or retrieve a quote without replaying the entire recording. You also have controls over what you upload, what gets stored, and what stays local.

  • Trace answers to sources

    You get cited responses to questions about your materials, so you can check the supporting passages.

  • Connect ideas across sources

    You can question several documents and recordings together rather than reviewing each source in isolation.

  • Test what you remember

    You can generate quizzes, flashcards, and study guides from the material you need to learn.

  • Review without reading

    You can listen to conversational audio overviews of your sources while commuting or resting your eyes.

  • Find moments in recordings

    You can search transcripts and jump to the relevant moment instead of replaying a whole lecture or interview.

Best for

  • You’re preparing for exams from slides, textbooks, and recorded lectures.
  • You’re comparing research papers or reports.
  • You need to retrieve quotes from recorded interviews.

Skip it if

You don’t need it if you only want to read documents or play recordings without AI questions, summaries, or study aids.
