Free plan included. *For readers, not just meetings* ## The AI Note Taker for Your Reading List Paste a link and get 150 words, five bullets and one quote in ten seconds. An AI note taker for everything you meant to read. ## Notes you would actually write yourself ### Paste any link A longform essay, a research paper, a ten-thousand-word blog post. If it has a URL, it can be read and noted. ### A fixed note format 150 words of prose, five clean bullets and one line worth keeping. Every note looks the same, so your library stays easy to scan. ### Ten seconds, not ten minutes The page is fetched, stripped of ads and sidebars, and read in full. You decide whether the original deserves your time. ### A library, kept on purpose Save the notes worth keeping, tag them, search them later. No social graph, just a better commonplace book. ### Export in any format Markdown, JSON or plain text the moment you receive it. Pipe it into Obsidian, a Google Doc or another model. ### Private by default We do not sell your URL history and we do not train on what you save. The notes you keep are visible only to you. ## Three steps, no setup 1. **Paste the link** — Drop in any URL. A longform essay, a New Yorker profile, a paper you promised yourself you would get to. 2. **The AI does the reading** — We fetch the page, strip the cookie banners and unrelated newsletters, and read every word the author actually wrote. 3. **You read the essence** — Get a short summary, five bullets and one quote. Keep it, tag it, or open the original if it earns the longer read. *The problem* ## Most notes are written after the fact Taking notes while you read breaks the reading. Taking them afterwards means you rarely do. An AI note taker closes that gap: the first pass is done for you, in a consistent shape, and you spend your attention on the parts that matter. It does not replace reading. It protects the reading that matters from the reading that does not. - First-pass notes in about ten seconds - Same structure every time - Original link always visible *The library* ## Keep the notes, drop the pile A read-later folder grows because saving is easy and reading is not. With notes attached to each link, the pile becomes a small library you can actually search. Tag a summary, file it in a folder, and find it again when the idea becomes useful. Pro adds folders, tags and export to Obsidian, Notion and Readwise. - Folders and tags on Pro - Search across everything you saved - Export to Obsidian, Notion and Readwise *Meetings instead?* ## Need notes from calls, not links? To be clear about scope: aisummary reads the web, it does not listen to audio. If your pile is recordings rather than articles, a meeting recorder is the better fit, and we have written up the one we would pick. The two tools solve different halves of the same problem, and plenty of people use both. - aisummary: links, articles, essays, papers - Meeting recorders: calls and transcripts - Different inputs, same goal: fewer things to reread ## Reading notes vs meeting notes vs by hand | Question | aisummary | Meeting recorders | Notes by hand | |---|---|---|---| | What it reads | Links, articles, essays, papers | Calls and meetings | Whatever you attend or read | | Time to a first note | About ten seconds per link | Minutes after the call ends | As long as the reading took | | Note format | 150 words, five bullets, one quote | Transcript and action items | Your own words | | Export | Markdown, JSON, text; Obsidian, Notion, Readwise on Pro | Varies by tool | Wherever you type | | Records people | No | Yes | No | | Your saves used for training | No | Varies by tool | No | ## Two plans, nothing hidden ### Free — $0 forever - Ten summaries a day - Web app, full quality - Copy as Markdown or JSON - Source link always visible - Your summaries stay private ### Pro — $8/mo - Unlimited summaries - Folders and tags, a real library - API access, same shape as the web - Export to Obsidian, Notion and Readwise - Summaries in any language you ask for - Priority model, slightly better quality ## Common questions ### What is an AI note taker, exactly? An AI note taker turns something long into something short you can keep. Some tools do it for recorded meetings. aisummary does it for the web: you paste a link, it reads the page, and you get 150 words, five bullets, and one line worth quoting. Same idea, different source. ### Does aisummary record meetings or calls? No. It reads links, articles, essays and papers, not audio. If you need a transcript of a call, a meeting recorder is the right tool. Our notetaking AI page on meetings covers that case. Here the question is what to do with the 40 tabs you meant to read. ### How is this different from pasting an article into a chatbot? A chatbot gives you a reply in a thread that scrolls away. aisummary returns the same structure every time, keeps the source link visible, and saves the result to a library you can search, tag and export. The format is fixed on purpose, so notes from different weeks still look alike. ### What do I get on the free plan? Ten summaries a day at full quality, with copy as Markdown or JSON, the source link always visible, and private summaries. There is no card to enter and no trial clock. For most people reading a few long pieces a day, ten is plenty. ### What does Pro add for $8 a month? Unlimited summaries, folders and tags, API access, export to Obsidian, Notion and Readwise, a priority model, and summaries in any language you ask for. It is billed monthly, cancel anytime, and refunded within seven days if you regret it. ### Is my reading list private? Yes. Summaries you keep are visible to you and nobody else. aisummary does not sell your URL history and does not train on what you save. That is written into the Terms, not just the marketing. ### Can I take the notes somewhere else? Every summary exports as Markdown, JSON or plain text the moment you receive it. Pro adds direct export to Obsidian, Notion and Readwise. If you ever leave, your notes leave with you, in a format any editor can open. ## Read the essence first Ten summaries a day, free. No card, no trial clock, no notification dot. *Call to action: Try it free* ## FAQ ### What is an AI note taker, exactly? An AI note taker turns something long into something short you can keep.
