Inspiration

Note-taking was messy and unstructured. We wanted a tool that felt modern, clean, and powered by AI — so we built Notey to organize chaotic thoughts effortlessly.

What it does

  • Lets you freely brain-dump ideas, thoughts, or content
  • AI organizes your input and provides custom responses
  • Supports smart tagging, clean formatting, and split view
  • Allows you to select any text and instantly ask AI for help or insights
  • No folders. No clutter. Just clarity.
  • Syncs everything in one clean, dark-mode UI with Gen Z vibes

How we built it

We used nextjs and Tailwind for the frontend, gemini for AI responses, and deployed it via Vercel. State is managed using React hooks. Also a vector data base and langchain

Challenges we ran into

Integrating AI smoothly in the editor, creating a good UX for split views, and fine-tuning prompts for meaningful AI responses.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Building a GenZ first application. Built a working AI-powered note app with clean UX and real-time AI insights in a short time.

What we learned

Prompt engineering is key. Good AI UX requires balance between automation and user control. Also learned how to manage dynamic text editing. how vector db works.

What's next for get Notey

Not much i have thought of but here are some

  • Chat-style assistant inside the notes
  • Plugin support (e.g., Notion, Google Docs sync)
  • chrome plugin where user can ask anything on the browser screen.
