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 work partner that runs tasks on your local files and knowledge
Ground answers in documents stored on your own machine so the assistant works with your material instead of only public web content.
Set a goal and Ncurator plans the steps, then carries them out across files, the web and your knowledge base.
Read and edit DOCX, PDF, XLSX and PPTX files, with Preview and Review modes to check what changed.
Reuses cached input across repeated tasks so much of the prompt can be billed at a provider's discounted cache-hit rate.
