Note taking isn't the goal anymore. Effortless context generation is.

Today's internet is too broad, information channels are too noisy, and the web is now simply not built for a normal human's attention span anymore. It evolved and we must evolve with it.

The 10-seconds problem

You lose more than 50% of your original thought in the first 10 seconds after receiving it.

Now add 3 pop-ups, 4 videos, and 17 subtle ads. You simply don't have the time to think slow anymore. The world moves too fast, and the internet -- by an order of magnitute faster.

Here is what it takes to record a piece of information today:

    - *select text*
    - ⌘ + c
    - open note-taking app
    - pick (or create) a new note page
    - ⌘ + v
    - enter, enter
    - *write note*
    - save note
    - (never find it again)
            

You see.. this method simply introduces too much overhead. It is impossible to keep this going, especially in your most locked-in moments, the ones where your mind enters this trance state where you know your next action 5 seconds before it happens. Having to write and manage notes at this exact moment is a brutal flow-breaker.

Notate: The Notion-AI context generation engine

Notate is the best way to create your own personal knowledge base and never forget again, with Notion-AI. We are calling it "the best Notion-AI context generation engine", because Notate's highlighting feature only captures the exact piece of information that mattered — the one that caught your attention and nothing more.

Don't get me wrong, getting the entire web page sounds good on paper. It is flashy, too. But it simply doesn't work. 1) it is not scalable; 2) it introduces too much fluff (makes the LLM, in this case Notion AI's in-context-learning way too disbalanced); 3) is no different than prompting ChatGPT.

Here is how saving a specific piece of information looks with Notate:

    - *select text*
    - (Notate's selection UI shows) *click highlight*
    - type (or not)
    - *click enter*
            

And it's done. Notate automatically sync your highlight with all the text it contains (website title, specific text (or video timeslot) you highlighted, note (if you wrote any), date, and more). All with a single action. So you can continue flowing, without ever leaving your flow state.

Then simply prompt Notion-AI, and it will go through your entire personal context base and give you the exact information you need. It can even create documents. The point is... you don't have to spend your precious time managing all that knowledge.

Start generating context effortlessly today.

Give Notate a go today. Notate is built with extreme attention to detail, and a long-hurtful problem in mind. I myself am bad at writing notes. I always do, but I always lose them. I found Notate to really solve this for me, especially with Notion-AI. And I believe it will solve it all for you, too.
