Handwritten notes, PDF markup, and AI study tools on one canvas
Low-latency ink with palm rejection, cross-out to erase, and handwriting-to-text conversion keeps writing close to pen on paper.
Import contracts, papers, or textbooks and mark them up by hand, with searchable annotations and clean exports.
Search across typed text, handwriting, and sketches, and turn notes into summaries, mind maps, or structured plans.
Work together in shared notebooks, documents, and whiteboards simultaneously, without version conflicts or file ping-pong.
AI detection and writing verification built for schools and editors
Paste text or upload a document and get an overall AI probability score plus a sentence-by-sentence breakdown of which parts look machine-written.

A Chrome extension and Google Docs add-on bring scanning into Gmail, Docs, Classroom, and other surfaces you already work in.
Checks content for copied passages from outside sources so you can separate AI-generation questions from originality questions.
