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.

Cross-platform AI writing assistant delivering real-time grammar correction, tone alignment, authorship tracking, and team style guides.
Works natively inside Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, Windows, Mac, Google Docs, MS Office, and mobile keyboards to flag grammar mistakes, rewrite tangled sentences, and shift tone toward confident, empathetic, or executive registers.
Deploys contextual AI agents that predict how a target audience will react to a draft, locate credible supporting citations, grade essays against rubric criteria, and generate drafts using up to 2,000 monthly prompts on Pro.
Scans text against billions of web pages and academic databases for accidental plagiarism, detects AI-generated passages, and logs transparent document provenance via Authorship reports in Google Docs and Word.
Enables teams on Pro and Enterprise plans to codify company terminology, ban deprecated jargon, enforce inclusive language, insert shared Snippets, and surface internal company definitions inline.
