We believe that in an age of information overload, the real challenge isn't finding content—it's truly understanding it. OtterNote was born from this insight.
We're on a mission to transform how people read and understand complex documents. Too many brilliant ideas remain locked away in dense academic papers, technical manuals, and complex reports—not because people can't read them, but because traditional reading tools don't help with comprehension.
OtterNote bridges this gap by providing contextual AI insights that read alongside you, helping you grasp complex concepts, make connections, and retain knowledge more effectively.
Reading tools focus on finding information, not understanding it deeply.
AI that reads WITH you, providing insights as you go, not just answers when you ask.
Deeper comprehension, better retention, and genuine understanding of complex ideas.
The principles that guide everything we build and every decision we make
We believe reading should lead to genuine comprehension, not just information consumption.
Every feature we build prioritizes authentic learning over quick answers or shortcuts.
We use AI to enhance human thinking, not replace it - amplifying your natural curiosity.
Complex ideas should be approachable for everyone, regardless of background or experience level.
We envision a world where complex knowledge is accessible to everyone, where reading is not just about consuming information but truly understanding and connecting ideas. We're building the tools to make this vision a reality, one document at a time.
Join us on this journey to transform how the world reads and learns.
