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.
Automated compliance, risk, and trust management powered by AI
Automatically tests controls against frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, HITRUST, PCI, and ISO 42001 instead of relying on point-in-time audits.
Connects to hundreds of cloud, identity, HR, and developer tools to pull evidence and personnel data automatically, reducing manual screenshots and spreadsheets.
Answers inbound security questionnaires from a reusable knowledge base and publishes a public Trust Center to showcase certifications and documentation.
