Let a model suggest notes, and keep only the good ones
Suggest notes asks the model you chose to propose a few passages of the paper worth a note, each with a draft. You keep the ones you want: each becomes a note anchored on its passage and marked AI, and the rest disappear. Asking again skips every passage that already has a note, whether you wrote it or kept a suggestion, so each round covers new ground.
What you can do
- One click asks the model for passages worth a note, spread across the paper.
- Each suggestion shows its passage and a draft note.
- Keep a suggestion and it becomes a note anchored on that passage, marked AI.
- Asking again skips passages that already have a note.
- When every passage is covered, it says so instead of calling the model.
Tips
- Use it after your own first pass, to catch what you skipped.
- Edit a kept note into your own words: it then shows “AI · edited”.
- A local model keeps the paper on your machine.
Questions people ask
Are suggested notes saved automatically?
No. Nothing is saved until you keep a suggestion. Kept ones are marked AI like every other model-written note.
Will it suggest the same passage twice?
No. A new round skips passages that already have a note, including ones you wrote by hand.
When is it available?
It is built and arrives with the next desktop release.
