Built on Four Principles That Make AI Teachable

Guided, Scaffolded Thinking
AI that structures learning, not replaces it
Our mission is to support learning. We think of AI is a  partner—not a shortcut—that guides students; helping them understand the context of their assignment and learning objectives—to better evaluate sources, develop claims, and synthesize evidence. This progressive scaffolding ensures students build understanding.
Evidence-Based Reasoning
Every idea connects back to credible evidence
In PowerNotes, nothing floats free. Every note, AI interaction, and citation stays anchored to its source. AI responses reference the student’s collected evidence, and every claim in their writing traces back to where it came from. Attribution isn’t hidden behind an opaque model, it’s built into the workflow.
Transparent Student-AI Interactions
Educators see the full research journey
The problem with invisible AI is that it breaks the feedback loop. PowerNotes makes every AI interaction visible to instructors—how students engage with source material, how they use AI, and how their thinking evolved—to transform AI from a black box to a teachable component.
Embedded AI Literacy
Students learn AI responsibility by using it responsibly
AI literacy doesn't come from abstract modules—it develops through guided, authentic practice. PowerNotes embeds your AI policies directly into assignments, showing students in context how to use AI ethically and how to think critically about its outputs.
One Connected Environment for Research Management

From Crisis to Confidence

AI Chaos → AI Governance

The Problem
‍
Students use 4–6 disconnected tools invisibly. Educators can't teach what they can't see. Institutions have no way to enforce policies at scale.

Brainrot → Critical Thinking
The Problem
‍
Generic chatbots give instant answers that bypass cognition. Students skip the work that builds understanding.
The PowerNotes Solution
‍
Scaffolded prompts that guide reasoning. Source-anchored responses that require engagement with evidence. Structure that develops thinking skills instead of replacing them.
Compliance Burden → Policy Enforcement
The Problem
‍
While instutitions can create policies, it’s often deffered to teachers who have no efficient way to manage, or enforce them in student workflows. Faculty are left to police compliance manually, using faulty AI detectors, or nothing at all.
The PowerNotes Solution
‍
Policies become part of the tool itself. Set rules once at the institutional level—and customize them at the classroom level, so every course, every assignment, every AI interaction in PowerNotes is guided, and enforced.
Fragmented Tools → Continuous Knowledge
The Problem
‍
Fragmented AI and productivity tools create disconnected learning artifacts—highlights here, drafts there, citations somewhere else, AI prompts nowhere.
The PowerNotes Solution
‍
PowerNotes creates a continuous knowledge layer where sources, notes, citations, AI interactions, and writing all remain linked. Knowledge becomes cumulative, trackable, and transferable.
