02Notelix AI

Ask on the page.
It answers in ink.

Type a question, point to where the answer goes, and Notelix reads your page and writes the reply back as real, undoable handwriting — in the hand you choose.

  • Reads the page you’re on — it sees your real notes & diagrams, so answers fit your work.
  • Writes real PencilKit ink — not a chat bubble. Erase it, move it, keep writing around it.
  • Handwritten math — real fractions, roots and integrals, drawn by hand.
  • Remembers each note — follow-ups like “now part b” just work.
