How to use AI note taking app in AFFiNE

    Paste or draft meetings, lectures, research notes, and daily thoughts in an AFFiNE doc so the AI starts from context you can inspect, edit, and cite.

  2. 2

    Ask for structure before polish

    Generate AI notes, summaries, action items, and linked knowledge with clear sections, reasoning, and next steps instead of a one-line answer that is hard to verify.

    Save, link, and improve

    Keep the AI note taking app result as editable AFFiNE blocks, link it to related notes, and revise it as your understanding changes.
