Goodnotes collaborative docs and AI assitant to cater to professional users | TechCrunch

"Notetaking app Goodnotes, which historically catered to users in the classroom, is launching new features today geared towards professionals. These include a new collaborative whiteboard tool, the ability to create documents, and an AI assistant to help users summarize and create content. The Goodnotes AI can work with various input methods, including handwriting, typing, sketches, and voice. The company said that the assistant can summarize meetings, create visuals like charts and diagrams, proofread text, and create templates for documents and note-taking."

"Last year, the company acquired a South Korean startup working on meeting and video summaries. Goodnotes is now using tech from that acquisition to power some of these new features. Alongside AI, the company is launching a whiteboard feature to let users collaborate on a blank canvas using text and diagrams. The startup is also adding a way for users to create documents with text, images, GIFs, and tables. Goodnotes is not alone in integrating documents into its platform."

"We still have a large user base of students, but we want to expand our product to become useful for everyone, especially professionals. Text documents are popular in offices for people who type a lot, and a whiteboard is great for collaboration using different tools. Going forward, we want to be a well-rounded notetaking app for every scenario and every device,"

Goodnotes is adding professional-focused features including a collaborative whiteboard, document creation, and an AI assistant for summarizing and creating content. The AI accepts handwriting, typing, sketches, and voice, and can summarize meetings, generate charts and diagrams, proofread text, and produce templates.

The whiteboard supports collaboration on a blank canvas with text and diagrams, and new documents can include text, images, GIFs, and tables. The company introduced Essentials and Pro subscription plans with tiered features and integrations.
