Frequently, while taking notes, writing, creating flashcards, practicing flashcards, or reviewing notes, you'll realize there's some part of the overall picture you're missing. To make it easier to fill in that picture and answer your question, we offer AI chat directly within RemNote.

Ways to access AI Chat

From the omnibar

Select Toggle Ai Chat (/tai) from the omnibar. The AI Tutor opens in the right sidebar.

From the queue toolbar

While practicing a flashcard, click or tap the chat bubble in the upper-right corner. The AI Tutor opens in a floating window.

Note: The AI Chat in Queue option in Settings > AI must be on for this button to appear.

From Flashcard Insights

While viewing the Flashcard Insights for a card, choose AI Chat to get more details and ask follow-up questions.

AI Chat context

No matter how you open AI Chat, the currently focused flashcard or Rem will appear at the bottom of the chat window:

This Rem (and its hierarchical context) will be sent to the AI along with your question so you don't have to give a lengthy explanation of what you're asking.

Generating flashcards from AI Chat

As you have conversations with the AI, it may offer to let you Make Flashcards from an answer. If you've found a gap in your understanding, this is a great way to make sure you don't get confused again!

Pressing the button opens the interface for generating flashcards with AI and lets you select what kinds of flashcards you'd like to create and which ones you'd like to add to your knowledge base.

The cards shown in the generation popup will be added as siblings of the card you're studying (in the example above, they'd go into the 2024-09-02 Mon Daily Document, since that was where the initial flashcard about pacman was).

Customizing AI Chat

While AI Chat defaults to English, it will follow the language you write in. If you prefer to converse in a different language, simply start writing in that language.

AI Chat currently uses GPT-4o-mini by default, as this is a good compromise between AI credit consumption and quality for most situations. You can choose between a number of popular models in Settings > AI:
