A private AI notebook for students
Journal Genie is a private AI notebook for students: turn your lecture notes, slides, and readings into a notebook that answers from your own material, citing what was actually taught. It never trains on your work, and the free tier gives you 40 AI credits and 10 source imports a month — enough to study from your sources, not the open web.
Journal Genie is a private study notebook that answers from your own lecture notes and readings with citations, never trains on your work, and starts free with 40 AI credits a month.
The problem with asking a general chatbot to help you study is that it answers from the whole internet — which is not what your professor assigned, and not what your exam will cover.
Journal Genie keeps the study loop grounded in your own material: your notes, your slides, your readings. Answers cite what was actually in them, so you revise the right things.
Study from your own material
Upload your lecture notes, slides, and assigned readings, then ask questions and get answers cited to those exact sources — not a plausible version from the web. When your material doesn’t cover something, the AI says so, which is a useful signal about a gap in your notes.
Turn readings into understanding
Ask for a plain-language explanation of a dense passage, or use Studio to turn a set of sources into a study guide or quiz grounded in your material. Everything traces back to the source, so you’re studying the course, not a stranger’s summary of it.
Private, and free to start
Your notes are isolated per user, never used to train AI, and never sold. The free tier includes 40 AI credits and 10 source imports a month — a real study tool, not a locked demo — and you can export everything in one click.
Study honestly
- Journal Genie is a study aid grounded in your own material — not a homework-answer machine and not a substitute for doing the reading.
- Check your school’s AI policy before using any AI tool for graded work. Grounding your study in your own course material is the responsible way to use it.
Questions, answered first.
Can Journal Genie help me study from my own notes?
Yes. Upload your lecture notes, slides, and readings, then ask questions and get answers cited to those sources. It studies from your material, not the open web, so you revise what was actually taught.
Is it free for students?
There is a free tier with 40 AI credits and 10 source imports a month — enough for real study. Pro is $12/month and Premium is $24/month if you want more headroom, each about 20% less billed annually.
Will my notes be used to train AI?
No. Your notes and readings are never used to train AI, never sold, and never shown ads against. They are isolated per user, and you can export or delete them yourself.
