What is AFFiNE AI?
Local-first docs and whiteboards with an assistant that writes and maps ideas.
Who is AFFiNE AI best for?
AFFiNE AI is best for students and researchers who write in AFFiNE and want drafts, summaries and mind maps.
Notes that become slides
It turns an outline into a slide deck (in beta) or a mind map on the same page where you wrote it.
Students and researchers
It condenses PDFs and video transcripts into notes, drafts research briefs and works through maths problems step by step.
Visual thinkers
On the whiteboard you can select shapes and notes and ask the AI to expand them, map them or draw from them.
Local-first note takers
The editor is open source and keeps workspaces on your device, with apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android, though the AI itself needs a cloud sign-in.
