Notebook AI

Four AI-powered commands that work directly inside your notes — summarize, improve, find gaps, and convert chats into polished study pages.

Plan
All commands on this page require Pro or Max. They are gated behind the same daily AI request quota as chat.

/summarize

Type /summarize anywhere on a page to generate a structured summary of everything you've written.

The AI reads the full page content and inserts a styled AI Summary Block at your cursor position. The block includes:

  • ·Key concepts and algorithms covered
  • ·Important insights and conclusions from your notes
  • ·Data structures or patterns mentioned
Tip
Run /summarize at the end of a study session to lock in what you learned. The summary block is a great header for a page you'll review later.

/summarize → loading → summary block inserts

/improve

Type /improve to get specific, actionable edit suggestions for your notes — not generic feedback, but exact before/after changes.

How the Review Panel Works

After running /improve, a floating panel appears in the bottom-right corner of the screen:

1

One suggestion at a time appears

Each suggestion shows: a category pill (Technical Accuracy / Clarity / Structure / Missing Detail), a before/after diff (red strikethrough for deletions, green underline for additions), and a brief reason.
2

Click "Apply"

The change is made live in your document and the panel advances to the next suggestion.
3

Click "Skip"

No change is made; the panel advances.
4

Repeat until all suggestions are reviewed

Progress dots at the bottom of the panel show how many remain. The panel closes automatically when done.
Tip
Use /improve after you've written your rough notes — don't wait until they're polished. The AI is best at catching technical inaccuracies and structural gaps in first-draft notes.

/improve → review panel → Apply → change lands

/gaps

Type /gaps to analyze your notes against the topic and identify knowledge gaps — concepts you wrote about incompletely, edge cases you missed, or related ideas you haven't addressed.

The result is inserted as a Gaps Card in your page. Each gap item includes:

  • ·The gap topic — what's missing or underexplored
  • ·Why it matters — the practical impact of this gap in interviews or problem-solving
  • ·A test question — a self-assessment question to verify your actual understanding

/gaps → Gaps Card inserts

Tip
After running /gaps, try answering each test question aloud or by typing the answer into the page. Then re-run /gaps to see if the gap has been addressed.

Chat-to-Journal

Any chat conversation can be converted into a polished notebook page with one click. This is the fastest way to build a study library from your AI sessions.

How to Use It

1

In any conversation, click "Save to Journal"

This appears in the conversation's menu or as a button at the top of the chat view.
2

Choose a target notebook

A dropdown shows your existing notebooks. You can also create a new one inline.
3

A page is created automatically

The AI condenses the conversation into a structured page with: the problem context, approaches discussed, key insights, and all relevant code snippets.

What the Generated Page Contains

  • ·Problem overview — what the problem asked and its difficulty
  • ·Approaches explored — each approach you discussed, with complexity analysis
  • ·Key insights — the "aha moments" from the conversation, condensed
  • ·Code snippets — all relevant code blocks from the conversation, properly labelled

⋯ → Save to Journal → notebook selected → page created

Tip
Chat-to-Journal is the fastest way to build a study notebook. Solve a problem with AlgoTrace, hit Save to Journal, and your notes are done — ready to review with /improve or /gaps.
