Frequently Asked Questions

What does an AI note taker do?

It uses AI to create and store notes. You bring your own document, image, audio file, video, YouTube link or webpage; Lynote extracts key insights, assembles them into a formatted note, and lets you edit, question and repurpose the content. You keep oversight and refine the result as needed.

Is Lynote's AI note taker free?

You can begin at no cost. Sign up to store and sync notes in your workspace, then use the free AI allowance provided. Usage limits may change, so check your account or the latest pricing information for higher-volume note taking.

Can it take notes from Zoom, Google Meet or Teams recordings?

Yes — export the meeting recording from Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or another platform and upload the compatible audio or video file. Lynote does not join your live call; you add the recording afterward and get organized notes you can read, revise, export and share.

What files and links can I use?

Over 20 formats across documents, images, audio and video, plus YouTube and website URLs. Examples include PDF, DOCX, TXT, PPTX, XLSX, PNG, JPG, MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4 and MOV. Output quality may vary with the source and file quality.

How accurate are AI-generated notes?

It depends on how clear, complete and well-produced the original material is. AI notes make long content easier to navigate, but they can miss context, technical nuance, unclear audio or details hidden in complex visuals. Compare important facts, quotations, numbers and specialized terms with the source, then correct or add context in the editable note.

Are my files and notes private?

Your files and notes are processed securely and are not used to train AI models. Creating an account lets you save and sync notes. Still be careful when uploading confidential or regulated material, or content that belongs to someone else.
