Getting Started with Notesmakr
Welcome to Notesmakr! We're here to help you understand and retain knowledge more effectively using the proven Feynman Technique combined with modern AI technology.
What is Notesmakr?
Notesmakr is your personal study companion that transforms complex learning materials into simplified, easy-to-understand notes. Whether you're studying from textbooks, podcasts, or lecture notes, Notesmakr helps you break down difficult concepts and test your understanding.
The Feynman Technique
Named after Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman, this learning method is based on a simple principle: if you can't explain something in simple terms, you don't truly understand it.
Notesmakr guides you through this process:
- Learn - Import content from any source (PDFs, videos, audio, text)
- Simplify - AI helps break down complex ideas into clear explanations
- Test - Quiz yourself with flashcards and quizzes to find gaps
- Review - Fill those gaps with Q&A sessions and mind maps
- Master - Keep revising until you can explain it simply
The Feynman Technique works because it forces active learning. You're not just reading—you're engaging with the material, finding gaps, and filling them.
