Step by step

  1. Collect the notes

    Copy text from your notes app, and photograph handwritten pages in good light, one page per photo.

  2. Ask AI to organise them

    Paste or attach everything with this prompt.

    Prompt to copyOrganise these notes into one clear document about [topic]. Group related points under short headings, remove repeats, keep my original facts and numbers, and fix spelling. At the end add: 'Actions' (anything I said I'd do) and 'Questions' (anything I wrote with a ? or seemed unsure about). If you can't read part of a handwritten page, mark it [unclear] rather than guessing.
  3. Save the clean version

    Paste the result into a Google Doc, Word file or notes app with a clear title and date so you can find it later.
