No more searching through your notes

A question is tricky, and the answer is somewhere in a long PDF. Instead of guessing the right search term, press your shortcut. KnowFi reads the question, matches it with your notes and explains the answer with reference to your material.

How to prepare your PDF

  • Check whether you can select text in the PDF. If so, it has a text layer.
  • Run text recognition (OCR) on scanned pages first.
  • Unlock password-protected PDFs first, KnowFi can't read locked files.
  • Select the documents for your current subject rather than your whole semester.

What happens to the PDF

KnowFi reads your PDF's text locally on your Mac. During an evaluation, that text is sent together with the screen image to the AI services that answer the question. KnowFi does not store this content in its database. More on the privacy and your notes page.

Also for slides and worksheets

Slides from PowerPoint or Keynote can be exported as PDF and work the same way. Worksheets with sample solutions are good context too, because they show what kind of answer your course expects.
