Context
Goodnotes is a leading digital note-taking app with millions of users. Our team's goal was to create a document analysis and outline generation testing platform. This platform would be used internally to test the feasibility of implementing new AI features.
Impact
We successfully designed, developed, and handed off an AI tool that uses LLMs to analyze PDFs, generate summaries, and provide context-aware answers to users' questions.

Challenge
Goodnotes is a popular note-taking platform among college students. Students use Goodnotes to review their lecture notes, write practice problems, and build study guides. However, students are increasingly turning towards new AI tools for their studying needs.
How might Goodnotes incorporate new AI tools to innovate students’ studying experience on their platform?
Goal
Our goal was to create an AI platform that could classify and outline documents, answer users' questions about documents, and support multiple model options.
Research
We conducted 6 user interviews and gathered 40 survey responses. I also conducted a competitive analysis of other learning platforms.
Insights
User Flow
I mapped out all features to define how users might navigate the product.
Wireframes
Through wireframing, we experimented with different ways of laying out the homepage and document analysis page.
Iterations
Our design went through many iterations, as we focused on forming consistent on brand design components, improving accessibility, and finding noninvasive ways to implement our features.
