Evernote has released its most substantial platform update since 2020, integrating a suite of artificial intelligence features developed with OpenAI to enhance how users create, organize, and interact with notes on the application.
Central to the update is an AI Assistant, which utilizes large language models and is accessible through a dedicated chat interface. This tool allows users to search, organize, and enrich their notes. It can also generate new content and add relevant tags to existing information. Complementing the assistant is a new Semantic Search function. This AI-driven capability is designed to improve note retrieval efficiency by helping users locate related notes and quickly view the most relevant content within their archives.
For professional and collaborative settings, the update introduces an AI Meeting Notes feature. This function automatically generates summaries and transcripts of key conversations. Another component, AI Edit, builds upon earlier capabilities such as AI Note Cleanup. Currently available in beta for Desktop and Web users, this feature is consistently refined based on feedback and provides several functions to enhance written content. These capabilities include:
- Writing and summarizing text.
- Translating content into 15 different languages.
- Correcting common spelling and grammar errors.
- Adding introductions or conclusions to notes.
The collection of AI-driven enhancements positions Evernote as a more intelligent and efficient tool for taking notes. The integration of this technology aims to save users time and help them focus on primary tasks, reflecting a strategy to maintain a competitive and relevant position by embedding advanced artificial intelligence to assist with a wide range of organizational needs.
