## Cornell Notes

Generate structured Cornell-format notes from any text or lecture content.

### What Are Cornell Notes?

Cornell Notes is a systematic format for organizing notes:

```
┌─────────────┬──────────────────────┐
│   CUES      │      NOTES           │
│ (Keywords)  │  (Detailed info)     │
│             │                      │
│ - Key term  │  • Main ideas        │
│ - Question  │  • Examples          │
│ - Topic     │  • Definitions       │
│             │  • Details           │
├─────────────┴──────────────────────┤
│         SUMMARY                    │
│  (2-3 sentence overview)           │
└────────────────────────────────────┘
```

### How to Generate Cornell Notes

<Steps>
  <Step title="Input Your Content">
    * Paste lecture notes or textbook passages
    * Upload PDF/DOCX files
    * Minimum 50 characters
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add Context (Optional)">
    * Title: "Biology Lecture 5"
    * Subject: "Cell Biology"
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate">
    AI creates structured Cornell notes:

    * **Cues column**: Key terms, questions, main topics
    * **Notes column**: Detailed explanations and examples
    * **Summary**: Concise overview of entire content
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review & Export">
    * Edit any section
    * Export to TXT or PDF
    * Save to notes library
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Benefits of Cornell Notes

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Better Retention" icon="brain">
    Format forces you to actively process and organize information
  </Card>

  <Card title="Easy Review" icon="rotate">
    Cover notes column and quiz yourself using cues
  </Card>

  <Card title="Exam Prep" icon="graduation-cap">
    Summaries provide quick refreshers before tests
  </Card>

  <Card title="Organized" icon="folder">
    Consistent format across all subjects
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

### Cornell Notes Example

<Accordion title="See Sample Cornell Notes">
  **Topic**: Photosynthesis

  **CUES:**

  * What is photosynthesis?
  * Light reactions location?
  * Calvin Cycle products?
  * Overall equation?

  **NOTES:**

  * Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy (glucose)
  * Light reactions occur in thylakoid membranes:
    * Chlorophyll absorbs light
    * Water is split → H⁺ + O₂
    * ATP and NADPH are produced
  * Calvin Cycle occurs in stroma:
    * CO₂ is fixed using RuBisCO
    * ATP and NADPH used to synthesize glucose
    * Products: C₆H₁₂O₆ (glucose)

  **SUMMARY:**
  Photosynthesis converts light energy to chemical energy through two stages: light reactions (in thylakoids) produce ATP/NADPH, and the Calvin Cycle (in stroma) uses these to convert CO₂ into glucose.
