Research you can
stand behind.
In the AI era, doing the work matters more than ever. PowerNotes documents your research process from the first source to the final draft — so the thinking is provably yours.
Start researching freeDocumentation, not detection.
Detection tools look for evidence after the fact. PowerNotes creates a record as you go — so there's nothing to detect, only something to show.
Every source you save, every annotation you make, every outline node you create is timestamped. Your research trail is a verifiable record of your intellectual work.
We don't scan your writing for AI patterns. We help you show your work — the way scientists cite methods and lawyers cite precedent. The record speaks for itself.
PowerNotes integrates directly with AI assistants. Used inside our platform, your AI conversations are grounded in your sources and captured in your activity log.
How your Insight score is generated.
Insight™ compares your documented research process to your final submission — producing a correlation score that reflects genuine engagement.
Every source, highlight, annotation, outline entry, and AI conversation is logged with a timestamp as you work.
The platform measures annotation depth, source diversity, time on task, and outline completeness against assignment thresholds.
Your final submission is correlated with your research record. Ideas that appear in your notes but not your writing — and vice versa — are flagged.
An Insight score is generated before the deadline — giving you and your instructor a shared, evidence-based view of your process.
Insight™ is available on Institutional plans. See pricing →
Built for everyone in the room.
In a world where AI can write anything, showing your process is the new citation. Your PowerNotes activity log is shareable evidence.
- Share your research log with your instructor or supervisor
- Include it in college or scholarship applications
- Document AI use transparently — within the platform
Insight scores are available before the deadline — not after. Every score comes with a full activity log usable in integrity proceedings.
- See Insight scores in real time, by student and assignment
- Review the full research record behind any score

PowerNotes gives your institution a documented, auditable approach to AI in academic work — one that supports students rather than surveilling them.
- Campus-wide activity log infrastructure
- Downloadable reports for integrity proceedings
- Aligns with most AI use policies without modification
