How to use Nota
From raw input to usable work

A simple loop for thinking out loud

Nota is built for the moments before your thinking is tidy. Capture the raw material, understand it quickly, ask better follow-up questions, then reuse the result in the work you already need to do.

01

Capture

Record voice, import audio, or use images when the context starts outside a blank page.

02

Understand

Review summaries, action points, key moments, and insights without replaying everything.

03

Ask

Use the note assistant and quick actions to pull out decisions, risks, questions, and next steps.

04

Reuse

Turn notes into plans, specs, follow-ups, weekly synthesis, or working documents.

01 / Capture

Capture

Start with voice, audio, or images

Capture ideas before typing starts editing them

Builders rarely get their best ideas sitting neatly at a desk. They show up mid-walk, mid-build, mid-conversation, or inside something you snapped for later. Nota turns voice and images into source material for notes.

Record inside the app, import existing audio, or use images as a note source. No setup rituals, no Nota account required, and no need to organize everything before you think out loud.

02 / Processing

Refine

More than transcription

Nota does more than transcribe. It turns source material into private AI notes.

Instead of leaving you with a wall of transcript or a loose saved image, Nota surfaces AI summaries, action points, key moments, and insights so the useful parts are already shaped for you.

From raw voice to useful output

Each note gives you the parts builders need to move work forward: the core idea, the next steps, the decisions, and the patterns hidden inside the source material.

Summary

A fast overview of the note, so you can understand the idea in seconds instead of replaying the whole thing.

Action Points

Clear next steps and follow-ups pulled out of the conversation while the momentum is still fresh.

Key Moments

The decisions, standout ideas, and turning points worth jumping back to without scrubbing through everything.

Insights

Patterns, risks, and useful observations surfaced automatically from the full recording.

Image Sources

Use images as source material for notes when the important context starts as something visual.

Smart Search

Search across your private note base and recover the right idea without opening recordings one by one.

03 / Clarity

Understand

Skip the re-listen

Get the point fast without digging through transcripts or replaying everything

Open a note, skim the summary, scan the key points, and jump back in only when you want the exact wording. The recording stays available, but the understanding comes first.

04 / Interaction

Ask

Talk to a note

Every note includes an assistant with quick actions for the next step

Ask for decisions, action items, risks, open questions, or a short recap for a teammate who missed the conversation. Quick actions make the common prompts available immediately, so you can move from review to output faster.

Quick action
What were the main decisions in this call?
Quick action
What risks or open questions came up here?
Quick action
Turn this note into next steps I can work from
05 / Search and synthesize

Smart Notes

Smart Search and stronger Smart Notes

Find the right idea, then turn many notes into one usable working document

Your notes become a private, searchable knowledge base. Smart Search helps you recover the note, image, meeting, or idea you need without remembering exactly where it lives.

Updated Smart Notes can work across more context, so you can summarize your week, compare ideas across multiple conversations, or gather everything you said about one topic into a single higher-level note.

06 / Experience
