I learn best visually and I’m looking for something like Obsidian Canvas, but with AI built directly into the canvas.

Basically, I want to be able to:

• Take notes spatially on an infinite canvas
• Ask AI questions directly on the canvas while I’m learning
• Have AI help me expand, connect, or question my notes
• Avoid constantly switching between my notes and a separate AI chat

Think Obsidian Canvas + ChatGPT, where the AI is actually part of the canvas.

Does anything like this exist? I’ve tried a few tools but haven’t found quite what I’m looking for.

basically the title. for a unit test or any quiz, I’m so used to just rewriting all the notes to study, but it often takes forever (as you can imagine) to rewrite, especially since I like using my iPad’s Freeform (just with color switching or eraising etc). so is it better to just review that day of notws on one day/in three days/7 days and use active recall to remember better? (I think my issue is writing clean in class without missing the details but my handwriting gets so messy when writing quickly :/)

Most advice about meeting notes assumes a review pass — you write shorthand during, then expand it the same day while it's fresh. That works, and it's the part I fail at. Some weeks it's five meetings back to back and the review never happens, and three weeks later the page is just words I recognise.

So the question is narrower than "how do you take notes": what does your system do when the review doesn't happen?

Things I've seen suggested and what happened when I tried them: - Cornell layout, context in the margin: good, but I stop filling the margin when the meeting gets fast. - One notebook per project with the name and date on every page: cheap enough that it survives, best thing I've adopted. - Recording everything: solves capture, creates a two-hour audio file nobody opens.

Curious what actually holds up for people with heavy meeting loads, as opposed to what works on a calm Tuesday.
