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.

Generative video, image, and audio tools built on frontier AI research
Type a prompt or upload a reference to produce short video clips with model options tuned for realism, motion, and prompt adherence.
Motion brush, camera controls, inpainting, and frame-level tools let you direct a generation rather than accept the first result.
Reach Runway's models and third-party models through the Dev platform to build media products and batch pipelines.
Build and share custom creative apps inside Runway without writing code, so teams standardize on repeatable workflows.

Provides commercially safe generative video and image tools tightly integrated with professional creative workflows, though less experimental.
