Hey everyone! 👋

First off, a huge thank you to this amazing community. Your feedback, feature requests, and even the constructive criticism have been driving our team non-stop behind the scenes.

We’ve been working hard on our next big firmware update, and while it's almost ready for launch, we wanted to drop a Roadmap Preview to show you what we’ve been building based on YOUR suggestions!

Here’s a breakdown of what’s coming to your AINOTE 2 soon 👇

1. Note-Taking & Creation

• Toolbar Optimizations:
  • Continuous Pen Thickness: Smooth, continuous adjustments for pen thickness across Notes, PDFs, e-books, and Office documents.
  • Flexible Floating Toolbar: Collapses into a sleek floating widget (pen, text, recording) that can be moved freely along the screen edges.
  • Top/Bottom Tab Bar: Adjust the tab bar between the top and bottom of the screen for a customized layout.
• PDF Direct Import:
  • Insert PDFs directly into your active note (up to 50MB / 50 pages; unencrypted).
  • Use all native note editing and handwriting features on inserted PDFs seamlessly.
• Page & Bookmark Management:
  • Multi-Select Pages: Cut, copy, paste, hide, or delete pages. Copy pages to the clipboard and paste them into other notes.
  • Categorized Bookmarks: View bookmarks sorted by Headings, Tasks, and Stars, with one-tap jumps to exact locations.
• Audio, Transcription & AI Summaries:
  • Background Recording: Added a toggle to continue recording when the folio cover is closed (ON by default).
  • Delete Audio Only: Delete audio files independently to save space, with the ability to insert the transcript into the note body first.
  • More AI Templates: Expanded templates for meetings, lectures, videos, personal memos, and more.
  • Broader Languages: Expanded translation language picker.
• Sharing & Exporting:
  • Added TXT format for sharing and exporting.
  • Both MP3 and TXT now support complete offline export.

2. Calendar & Tasks

• Custom Recurrence: Tailor recurring patterns for both schedules and tasks.
• Smart Lockscreen Widget: Displays today's schedule by default. When today has no all-day events, all schedules have ended, and all tasks are done, it automatically switches to show tomorrow's schedule (and updates the header to "Tomorrow's Schedule").

3. Reading Experience

• Non-PDF Display Modes: Switch between General, Custom (per-book), and Classic Literature modes.
• Layout Templates: Customize typography for an individual book and save it as a reusable template.

4. Open AI Ecosystem & Custom LLMs

• AINOTE as your Capture Hub: AINOTE 2 serves as your primary mobile input tool. Seamlessly bridge your notes, raw ideas, and documents with mainstream AI platforms and dev environments (such as Codex, and more) for deep processing.
• Bring Your Own API Key: Plug in your personal LLM API keys (e.g., OpenAI) to build custom automated workflows tailored to your exact productivity needs.

5. System Tweaks & Handy Features

• Screenshot Annotations: Draw directly on screenshots with customizable pens, thickness, and erasers. Supports canvas zooming, saving, and sharing.
• AINOTE Assistant & Support: Access the AI Assistant on the home screen/settings for quick product Q&A, view estimated feedback processing times, or copy regional support emails with one tap.
• Wallpapers: Added full-screen signature wallpapers and clean, logo-free cloud wallpapers.
• Third-Party Apps: Supports landscape mode, bold text, custom display settings, and long-pressing to pin apps to the top.
• Login Upgrade: Log in quickly using email verification codes.
• Multilingual User Guide: Added a native Japanese user guide (default for Japanese systems) with easy switching between English and Japanese.
• Top Physical Button Customization: Customize the physical top button for quick actions (Quick AI Q&A, Instant Screenshot, Global Refresh, Go Home, New Note, or Back).

Hi AINOTE Air 2 users!

To help you better understand the details and eligibility for our recent User Appreciation Event, we’ve put together this Q&A guide. It covers everything from event rules to step-by-step claiming instructions—we hope you find it helpful!

I. Basic Information About the Event

Q1: What is this event? What benefits are included?

A: This is the AINOTE Air 2 Long-Term User Appreciation Event. Eligible Air 2 users who meet all requirements can claim their free 5-year Pro Plan membership (365 days*5).

Q2: When will the event start? When is the deadline for claiming the benefit?

A:

• Event Launch Time: The claim portal will officially open after the system update in early August. Please stay tuned to subsequent official announcements for the exact update schedule.
• Claim deadline: December 31, 2026, at 10:59:59 EST. Please make sure to log in to your device and complete the claim before the portal closes; overdue claims will be considered forfeited.

Q3: Does the 5-year Pro membership include AINOTE Care+ replacement service?

A: No. In this appreciation event, we only provide Pro Plan benefits. AINOTE Care+ replacement service is not included.

II. Core Eligibility Criteria

Q4: What conditions must my Air 2 satisfy to claim the 5-year Pro Plan membership?

A: When submitting a claim, users must satisfy all of the following conditions simultaneously. The system will automatically perform eligibility verification in the background:

• Device Model Requirement: Participating hardware devices must be AINOTE Air 2.
• Official Genuine Product Verification: The device serial number (SN) must belong to an authentic unit sold through official AINOTE channels.
• Exclusion of Special/Abnormal Devices: This event is intended solely for standard retail compliant users. Display units, test units, media review units, internal employee units, returned units, and devices from unauthorized channels are excluded from this event.
• Device Activation Window: The initial activation time of the device must be no later than October 31, 2026, at 10:59:59 EST.
• Valid Account Status: Users must be logged in with a normal, active official AINOTE account on the device at the time of claiming.
• No Duplicate Claim (Device & Account De-duplication):
  • The device SN has never been used to claim any benefit for this event.
  • The currently logged-in AINOTE account has never claimed this event's benefit.
• Normal Transaction Status: The device must be free of any abnormal transaction statuses in its purchase or after-sales records, such as refunds, chargebacks, fraud, or officially confirmed returns.

Q5: If a company purchases multiple Air 2 devices in bulk, can each employee claim the benefit separately?

A: It depends on the usage scenario:

• Each employee uses an independent AINOTE account: For each compliant Air 2 device, the membership can be claimed via the corresponding employee account.
• Enterprise customers requiring benefits across multiple accounts: Please contact the official sales team for a customized solution.

Q6: Can I still claim the 5-year Pro membership if I purchased a second-hand AINOTE Air 2?

A:
Each Air 2 device SN can only be used to claim the 5-year Pro plan once, and each account can only claim it once.

If the device SN has not previously been used to claim this benefit, and the currently logged-in account has not claimed it before, the device may participate in this event as long as all other eligibility criteria are met.

If the previous owner has already claimed the benefit, or the current account has already claimed it, the benefit cannot be claimed again.

III. Claiming Process

Q7: How many ways are available to claim the 5-year Pro plan?

A: We offer two convenient ways to claim your benefit:

• One-Click Pop-up Claim: Eligible users can claim directly via the in-device pop-up prompt after logging into their device.
• Manual Navigation Path: If you previously dismissed the system pop-up, you can access it again in your device settings via:

>Settings > Member Center > Air 2 Exclusive Benefit

Note: This exclusive claim entry will remain available to you throughout the entire claim period for your convenience.

Q8: Why didn’t I see the pop-up claim after logging in to my device?

A: The common reasons are as follows:

1. The user does not meet the eligibility criteria

Possible reasons include:

• The device’s first activation time is later than October 31, 2026, at 10:59:59 EST;
• The device is a demo unit, test unit, media review unit, internal employee device, returned device, or any other ineligible device type;
• The device has abnormal transaction records such as refunds or chargebacks;
• The account status is invalid, or the user is not logged in with an official AINOTE account;
• The device has not yet been upgraded to a version that supports the membership system.

1. The benefit has already been claimed

• The device SN or the currently logged-in account has already claimed the Pro membership benefit for this event.

IV. Membership Benefits and Feature Differences

Q9: What is the difference between the AINOTE 2 Pro plan and the Air 2 Pro plan provided in this event?

A: The only difference between the two memberships is the offline voice transcription feature.

The Air 2 Pro membership does not support offline voice transcription, while the AINOTE 2 Pro membership supports offline voice transcription in four languages: Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean.

Q10: After claiming the 5-year Pro plan, can I use it on other AINOTE devices?

A: Yes. After being claimed, the 5-year Pro plan benefit will be linked to the user account rather than a single device.

Users can log in to other AINOTE devices with the same account and use the membership benefits. However, the membership benefit cannot be sold, transferred, or exchanged for cash.

Q11: Compared with basic features, what improvements are included in the Air 2 Pro plan provided in this event?

A: There are three main improvements:

1. AI model access: Air 2 Pro membership supports three AI models: GPT-5.2, GPT-5.5, and Gemini 3.5 Flash.
2. Unlimited note sync: Air 2 Pro membership removes time restrictions on note synchronization, allowing users to back up all content and access it on other devices.
3. Note Editing: Air 2 Pro membership allows users to create and edit notes on computers and smartphones.

V. Membership Duration Stacking Rules

Q12: My account does not currently have an active Pro Plan membership. How will the validity period be calculated after I claim the membership benefit?

A: The validity period starts from the date of successful claim and lasts for 5 years (5*365 days). The exact membership expiration date shall prevail as displayed on the Membership page of your device.

Q13: My account already holds an active Pro Plan membership. How will the validity period be calculated after I claim the membership benefit?

A: The duration will be automatically rolled over and stacked without coverage or overlapping. The exact membership expiration date shall prevail as displayed on the Membership page of your device.

Q14: I have enabled auto-renewal for my Pro Plan membership. Do I need to take any actions after claiming the benefit?

A: We recommend disabling auto-renewal via the corresponding payment platforms after successful claim, to avoid unnecessary automatic charges during the 5-year free benefit validity period.

VI. Benefit Transfer & Duplicate Claim Restrictions

Q15: Can one Air 2 device log in to multiple accounts to claim benefits?

A: No, there are backend restrictions as follows:

• A single device is eligible to claim the benefit only once; no further claims will be allowed even if you switch to any other account after a successful claim.
• A single AINOTE account can claim the benefit only once.
• If multiple devices are bound to the same account, you may only select one device to complete the claim; additional membership duration will not be stacked from other devices.

Q16: Can the 5-Year Pro Plan membership be sold, transferred to others, or redeemed for cash?

A: No. This benefit is an exclusive reward for loyal users, limited to personal use by the account holder who claimed it. Trading, gifting or cash redemption is prohibited. The official reserves the right to revoke the benefit for any violation.

Q17: I previously claimed a complimentary 90-day membership via an AINOTE 2 device. Am I still eligible to claim the 5-Year Pro Plan membership for Air 2?

A: Yes. The two campaigns are independent of each other and do not conflict.

Q18: For an account that has already claimed the 5-Year Pro Plan benefit, will an additional 90-day duration be granted upon subsequent purchase of a paid membership?

A: No. Accounts that have claimed this benefit will no longer receive the complimentary 90-day extension when purchasing new paid memberships.

VII. Special Scenarios for Refunds, Device Replacements & After-Sales Support

Q19: Can I claim the benefit if my device has undergone full refund, return or payment chargeback?

A: No. The system will directly disqualify your claim if it detects records related to refunds, chargebacks or official device returns associated with the device.

Q20: Will my membership benefit be revoked if I return the device and request a refund after claiming the benefit?

A: Yes. Once the backend verifies a completed refund or chargeback for your order, the complimentary 5-Year Pro Plan benefit will be withdrawn.

Q21: My Air 2 device has been officially replaced via after-sales service before I claim the benefit. How will the membership be processed?

A: Please contact official customer service for assistance.

Q22: My Air 2 device has been officially replaced via after-sales service after I claimed the benefit. Can I still use the membership?

A: No impact on usage. The benefit is bound to your account. Log in to your original claiming account on the new replacement device to access all full Pro Plan features normally.

VIII. Other Frequently Asked Questions

Q23: Can I retroactively claim the 5-Year Pro Plan membership after the campaign ends?

A: No. The claim portal will be permanently closed at 10:59:59 EST on December 31, 2026. Failure to claim within the deadline will be deemed a voluntary waiver of the reward, with no retroactive claim channel available.

Q24: Does claiming the benefit incur any extra fees?

A: The benefit is completely free. Eligible users may claim it without any hidden charges.

Q25: If I log in to my account across different regions to claim the benefit, will duplicate benefits be issued?

A: No duplicate benefits will be issued. We have deployed a unified global benefit record system; each AINOTE Air 2 device serial number and each individual account only has one single claim opportunity.

Thank you for being a valued part of the AINOTE family—we hope this 5-year Pro Plan elevates your experience with the AINOTE Air 2!

Hey everyone,

We’ve got an important update regarding our product ecosystem and upcoming changes. Based on your feedback, we have completely revamped our Pro Plan to deliver a significantly improved experience.

As you may know, we are bringing the brand-new Note OS to AINOTE Air 2 in our next major system update, currently scheduled for early August. To ensure you can fully utilize the powerful new features coming with Note OS, we will also be extending the Pro Plan options to AINOTE Air 2 users once the update is live.

To make everything completely transparent, we have included the full details below regarding the Starter Plan, the new Pro Plan features, device differences, and an exclusive benefit for our early Air 2 users.

1. AINOTE Air 2 Pro Plan Feature Details

The Pro Plan features supported by AINOTE Air 2 include:

• More AI Models Support: GPT-5.5, Gemini 3.5 Flash
• Unlimited AINOTE Link Sync
• AINOTE App Note Editing
• Exclusive AINOTE Care+ Service for Annual Subscribers

Additionally, the AINOTE Pro Plan for AINOTE Air 2 will continuously receive future updates for newly added AI capabilities.

2. Key Differences Between AINOTE Air 2 & AINOTE 2 Pro Plans

The Pro Plan is an account-based service under AINOTE. Therefore, you can access and enjoy your membership benefits across AINOTE Air 2, AINOTE 2, and the AINOTE App using a single account.

However, due to differences in hardware capabilities, some features may vary:

Features	AINOTE Pro Plan(for AINOTE 2)	AINOTE Pro Plan(for AINOTE Air 2)
More AI Models (GPT-5.5, Gemini 3.5 Flash) & Future Updates	✅	✅
Unlimited AINOTE Link Sync	✅	✅
Edit Notes on App / PC	✅	✅
Offline Voice Transcription	✅	Not Supported Yet
AINOTE Care+	✅ (Annual Plan)	✅ (Annual Plan)

• 📌 Note on Offline Voice Transcription: AINOTE 2 supports offline voice transcription (currently compatible with English, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean). Due to the hardware limitations of the AINOTE Air 2, this feature is currently not supported on the Air 2.

3. Exclusive Benefits for AINOTE Air 2 Existing Users

AINOTE Air 2 was our very first product launched for global users. To show our deep gratitude to our early adopters for your incredible support, we will be gifting 60 months (Calculated based on 30 days per month) of AINOTE Pro Plan access for free to eligible existing AINOTE Air 2 users!

How to Claim: The specific claiming methods, event rules, and eligibility criteria will be announced in a follow-up notice. Please stay tuned to our official channels for updates.

⚠️ Important Note:

AINOTE Care+: The complimentary Pro Plan access does not fall under the annual subscription plan, meaning it does not include the AINOTE Care+ extended device replacement service. To acquire AINOTE Care+ benefits, users will still need to subscribe to the Pro Plan via the annual payment method and meet the relevant service conditions.

Hey Everyone!

We are incredibly excited to bring you the latest major software update for AINOTE 2!

This release focuses on five areas where users told us the previous version fell short: how AI integrates with notes, how the device handles multi-language work, how it serves long-form reading, how notes leave the device for downstream tools, and how the day-to-day experience holds up at scale.
We have not introduced new categories of features. We have made the categories you already use work the way you expected them to work.

1. Notes & AI — Closer to Your Content

1.1 AIAide is now closer to your notes

• The AIAide entry point has been updated: a refreshed AI icon makes the assistant easier to identify.
• More importantly, AIAide now uses the recording transcript of your current note as a knowledge base you can ask questions about. Open AIAide from within a note that contains a recording and ask: "Summarize the key decisions from this meeting." / "Where in this lecture did the speaker discuss X?"
• The meeting minutes entry has been reorganized as a dedicated tab placed at the top of the note page — distinct from the handwritten note content and easy to reach without navigating into the menu.

What this means for you: AI is no longer a separate tool you switch to. It works on the content you already have in front of you — making your notes searchable, summarizable, and re-usable as a knowledge base.

1.2 Automatic meeting minutes

• When a recording stops, AINOTE 2 now automatically generates structured meeting minutes from the recording transcript — topics, decisions, action items, and follow-ups. Within the same minutes tab, you can switch between the original recording, its transcript, and the AI-generated minutes.

What this means for you: The work that used to happen after the meeting — listening back, identifying decisions, drafting follow-ups — happens automatically. You leave the room with the meeting record already drafted.

1.3 Note interface refinements

• The menu bar has been moved to the side and now supports left-right switching, freeing vertical space for content.
• Within a note, you can create titles directly from the top region using handwriting, and a shortcut for title creation is available throughout the note flow.

1.4 Writing and recognition

• English and Japanese offline OCR accuracy improved.

2. Broader Language Coverage

2.1 Online transcription and translation

• Online transcription now supports Dutch and Portuguese, bringing the total to 18 languages.
• Translation now supports Dutch, Portuguese, and Thai, bringing the total to 14 language pairs.

2.2 Translation in side-by-side comparison view

• When recording with real-time translation enabled, the spoken-language transcript and its translated output now display side by side in the same view, visible in parallel as the recording unfolds.

2.3 New system languages

• AINOTE 2 now ships eight additional system (UI) languages: Thai, Malay.

3. Reading Capabilities

• Tappable links inside PDFs — citations, internal cross-references, and URLs in PDF documents can now be opened directly.
• Text selection in image-based (scanned) PDFs — scanned case files, archived contracts, and image-only documents now support text selection, copy, lookup, and translation.
• Two-page landscape PDF reading — for academic journals, large-format documents, and content where context across facing pages matters.
• Landscape annotation for non-PDF documents — EPUB, MOBI, AWZ3, not only PDFs.

4. Note Export and Sharing

4.1 Word export

• Notes can now be exported as Word (.docx) documents, in addition to PDF. The TXT export option has been removed.

4.2 Third-party cloud sharing

• Notes can be shared directly to third-party cloud services — OneDrive, Google Drive, and Dropbox.

5. Core Experience Optimizations

5.1 Calendar sync refinements

• Recurring event details from both Google and Outlook calendars are now displayed correctly.
• Hidden folders in Google Calendar are now recognized — folders the user has hidden in Google will no longer appear in AINOTE 2 sync.
• Outlook event details are now displayed in full.

5.2 Direct access to customer support

• The Help screen now includes a WhatsApp Business QR code and an after-sales request QR code.

5.3 In-product user guide

• A user guide has been added, with entry points on the home page and in Settings.

5.4 Meeting minutes model options

• For Pro members, meeting minutes can be generated using GPT-5.5 or Gemini 3.5 Flash as alternative models.

Hey everyone 👋

We talk a lot about privacy. But what does it actually mean across the entire journey of your data?

With AINOTE, we don't just protect your notes at one point. We protect them from start to finish — every step of the way.

Here's how.

🛡️ The full lifecycle — four layers, one promise

Privacy protection on AINOTE covers the entire lifecycle of your data:

1. Data collection → controlled

We don't grab your data just because we can. What's collected is clearly defined, and you stay in control.

No silent background harvesting. No surprises.

1. Data processing → transparent

When your notes, transcripts, or AI summaries are being processed, we make sure you know what's happening and why.

No black boxes. Just clear logic you can trust.

1. Data storage → secured

Your data sits on trusted infrastructure (like AWS) with strong encryption. Whether it's a meeting transcript or personal idea, it's stored safely — not left out in the open.

1. Data access → strictly limited

We follow the principle of least privilege. Only what's necessary, only when necessary, only by authorized systems or people.

Your notes are yours, not free real estate.

🎯 What this means for you

Every layer is designed to minimize risk and maximize trust.

Imagine you record a meeting, generate an AI summary, and sync it across devices.

From the moment that data is created → processed → stored → accessed, AINOTE is watching the doors, locking the cabinets, and keeping logs honest.

💡 Enjoy the peace of mind. Your data has a guardian at every stage.

💬 One more thing

We know trust isn't built overnight. That's why we design privacy into the whole lifecycle, not just one checkpoint.

No matter where your data is — being collected, processed, stored, or accessed — it gets the same level of respect and protection.

That's the AINOTE way.

This is the sixth part of our series on artificial intelligence and data privacy. I've also written several other related articles in this series if you're interested:

[Data & Privacy Policy]Regional Data Storage & Compliance

In the next article, we will explore in more detail how the core functionality works properly offline. I'd love to continue the discussion if you have any thoughts or questions.

— AINOTE Team

At AINOTE, we understand that data privacy is not only about how your data is processed. It is also about where your data is stored.

When you use an AI note-taking device, your notes, recordings, transcripts, summaries, and synced files may contain business information, study materials, meeting discussions, interview content, project plans, or personal ideas. For many users, knowing where this content is stored is also an important part of trusting the service.

That is why AINOTE supports region-based data deployment.

👓 Where your data may be stored

AINOTE provides regional data deployment through secure AWS cloud infrastructure, including:

Singapore AWS

Frankfurt AWS

This means your data is routed and stored based on your selected region or applicable service region, instead of being handled without clear regional separation.

🔔 How AINOTE supports compliance

AINOTE’s regional deployment is designed to support major data protection requirements, including:

GDPR — General Data Protection Regulation

PDPA — Personal Data Protection Act

In line with AINOTE’s privacy principles, personal data is processed only for clear and necessary purposes, such as providing cloud sync, account access, AI-related features, or other services requested by the user.

AINOTE also emphasizes secure infrastructure, access control, and responsible data handling to help protect user content during storage and service delivery.

🛡 Our approach

No vague data storage location.

No unnecessary cross-region processing without purpose.

No unclear data flow hidden from users.

AINOTE is designed to make data handling more transparent. You should know not only how your data is processed, but also where it is stored.

For AINOTE, compliance is not just a legal checkbox.

It is part of building a product that users can trust across different regions, markets, and workflows.

This is the fifth part of our series on artificial intelligence and data privacy. I've also written several other related articles in this series if you're interested:

Frankfurt AWS — serving Europe

This means your data is routed and stored based on your selected region or applicable service region, instead of being handled without clear regional separation.

For example, if you are a European user, regional deployment through Frankfurt AWS helps support data storage practices aligned with European data protection expectations. If you are located in the Asia-Pacific region, Singapore AWS provides a regional cloud foundation for local access and service delivery.

Hey everyone 👋

Let’s talk about something simple but powerful: offline mode.

With AINOTE, you don’t need an internet connection to get real work done.

That’s not a small thing — especially when you’re on a plane, in a library with no Wi-Fi, or just somewhere you don’t want to be distracted.

What you can do offline?

AINOTE is designed so that core note-taking and productivity capabilities stay fully usable even without an internet connection.

That means you can:

• ✍️ Write, organize, and review your notes
• 🔁 Continue your workflow without interruption
• 🧠 Stay productive — no loading spinners, no “you’re offline” blocks

No cloud? No problem. Your device still works like you expect it to.

But what about sync?

Of course, when you reconnect to the internet, your notes can sync back to the cloud and across your devices.
But offline, everything stays locally on your device — which is also a nice privacy bonus.
💡 Enjoy the focus. Enjoy not being tracked or interrupted.

Why this matters for real life?

Imagine you’re on a long-haul flight, reviewing meeting notes or drafting a project plan.

Or you’re in a remote cabin, turning handwritten ideas into digital text.

Or maybe you just prefer to work without notifications flying in.

AINOTE doesn’t lock you into “must be online” mode.

It’s your device. Your pace. Your privacy.

One more thing!

We believe productivity shouldn’t depend on a Wi-Fi icon.

That’s why offline isn’t an afterthought — it’s part of the core design.

So go ahead. Take your AINOTE anywhere.

Write, organize, review. Enjoy the quiet.

This is the fourth part of our series on artificial intelligence and data privacy. I've also written several other related articles in this series if you're interested:

[Data & Privacy Policy]AI Is Only Activated When You Choose

In the next article, we will explore in more detail how the core functionality works properly offline. I'd love to continue the discussion if you have any thoughts or questions.

— AINOTE Team

At AINOTE, we believe AI should support your workflow only when you ask for it.

Your notes, recordings, handwritten content, transcripts, meeting materials, and personal ideas may contain information that matters to you. That is why AINOTE does not continuously collect, analyze, or process your personal content in the background.

👓 When AI may be used

AINOTE’s AI features are designed to help with real productivity tasks, such as:

• AI summaries
• AI Q&A
• Meeting minutes generation
• Transcription-related AI assistance
• Content organization or key-point extraction

These features are not always-on. They only begin working when you actively choose to use them.

💎 How AI activation works

AI processing starts only when you clearly tap, select, or request an AI feature within the product.

For example, if you record a meeting and later choose to generate an AI summary, AINOTE processes the relevant content only for that task. If you do not request the summary, your meeting content is not sent for AI processing.

The same principle applies to AI Q&A, meeting minutes, or key-point extraction: the AI responds to your action, not to background monitoring.

No hidden uploads.

No silent background analysis.

No continuous collection of your voice, notes, or documents.

AINOTE does not quietly observe your work or automatically send your content to AI systems without your choice.

🛡 Our approach

This design follows AINOTE’s privacy-first principle: personal data is processed only when necessary to provide the service you request, and only for the purposes clearly explained to you.

Your content always remains under your control. AI is available when you need assistance, but it does not act on your data without your decision.

For AINOTE, useful AI begins with user intent.

It is there to respond to your instructions, not to quietly watch your work.

This is the third part of our series on artificial intelligence and data privacy. I've also written several other related articles in this series if you're interested:

[Data & Privacy Policy]Your Data Stays Yours: How AINOTE Delivers AI Without Training on It

In the next article, we will explore in more detail how the core functionality works properly offline. I'd love to continue the discussion if you have any thoughts or questions.

— AINOTE Team

One of the biggest questions people keep asking about AI‑powered tools is this:

>“Is my data being used to train the AI models?”

It’s a legitimate concern, especially with so many services vaguely say they improve “models and services” without clarifying how your data is used. Even large privacy policies often hide that nuance in legal language.

Here’s how AINOTE approaches this, based on their privacy principles and product‑specific practices:

• No Data Used for AI Model Training

AINOTE’s AI functions only process content when you explicitly trigger them. That means your notes, recordings, or text are not scanned, collected, or analyzed unless you choose to use an AI feature like summaries, Q&A, or meeting minutes. Once the task is completed, AINOTE does not retain this data beyond the processing needed to return results, it isn’t stored for future training or analytics. This is a deliberate design choice that helps keep your content private and under your control.

• Commercial AI APIs Under Strict Agreements

When you do use an AI feature, AINOTE doesn’t run its own model training infrastructure behind the scenes. Instead, it calls commercial AI APIs under clearly defined agreements. These agreements explicitly limit the use of your data, t’s only used for the specific task you asked for, and not incorporated into broader training datasets. This is an important distinction compared to many other AI services that may use user data to “improve their models.”

• Your Data Isn’t Kept Longer Than Needed

A core tenet of the privacy policy from iFLYTEK and its affiliated services is that personal data is only processed as necessary to deliver the service you requested and in ways consistent with applicable laws. Data is never kept indefinitely for undisclosed purposes or fed back into AI training loops without user consent.

• Explicit User Control Over AI Activation

The AI doesn’t run in the background. It doesn’t continuously harvest text or voice content. AI processing only happens when you choose to trigger a feature, there’s no hidden data collection or automated logging. That’s a fundamental privacy guardrail that ensures your content remains isolated unless you intentionally decide to send it for processing.

• Bottom Line, Clear Separation Between Your Data and Model Training

If you’re cautious about AI privacy, like many Redditors are, here’s the core takeaway:

✔️ AINOTE’s AI only processes data when you request it.

✔️ That data is not used to train or improve broader models.

✔️ It is not retained beyond necessary processing.

✔️ It doesn’t run in the background or collect silently.

This means the AI is truly there to serve you, not to ingest your personal data for other uses.

If you’re interested, I’ve also written a couple of related posts in this series:

• Part 1: [Your Data Stays Yours]
• Part 2: [Enterprise-Grade Security by Design]

Happy to continue the conversation if anyone has thoughts or questions — privacy is honestly one of the most important things when it comes to AI tools, and I’d love to hear how others think about it too.

At AINOTE, we know that an AI note-taking device is not just a place to store words.

When you use AINOTE, you may be recording meetings, converting speech into text, turning handwriting into digital notes, generating AI-assisted summaries, or syncing content across devices. That content may include business discussions, study materials, interviews, project plans, action items, deadlines, or personal ideas.

That is why we design security into AINOTE from the start.

👓What we protect

AINOTE is built to support real productivity workflows. In those workflows, your notes, recordings, transcripts, summaries, and synced files may contain information that matters to you.

Our goal is to help you work more efficiently while reducing unnecessary exposure of your data.

💎How we protect data in transit

When data moves between your device and AINOTE services, we use encrypted transmission, including HTTPS / SSL.

This helps protect your information while it is being transferred. For example, when you sync notes, access a transcript, or use connected AI features, your data should not travel across the internet as plain, unprotected information.

🔔Why infrastructure matters

AINOTE is supported by trusted cloud infrastructure, including AWS.

This provides a reliable foundation for cloud sync, multi-device access, data storage, and connected productivity features. For users, this means the security experience is not only about the device itself, but also about the systems behind the service.

🛡Multi-layer protection

Security does not rely on one single barrier.

We use multiple layers of protection, including firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, access control, permission management, and risk monitoring.

These layers work together to help filter suspicious traffic, detect abnormal activity, limit unnecessary access, and reduce system-level risks.

🏷️A simple example

Imagine you record a business meeting and later generate a transcript or AI summary. That content may include names, decisions, deadlines, and follow-up tasks.

AINOTE’s security design is built to help protect that information during transmission, storage, access, and ongoing monitoring.

🧭Our approach

No system can remove every possible risk. But we believe security should be designed carefully, monitored continuously, and explained clearly.

For AINOTE, security is not an add-on.

It is part of the product foundation — because your notes, recordings, transcripts, and ideas deserve protection from the start.

One of the biggest questions people keep asking about AI‑powered tools is this:

This is the second part of our AI & data privacy series. In the next post, we’ll take a closer look at how AI processing is handled within the system architecture.

At AINOTE, we’re committed to building tools that are not only useful, but also transparent by design.

Hi everyone. This is AINOTE Team.

As AI becomes a core part of productivity tools, one question comes up again and again:

>“What happens to my data?”

At AINOTE, we believe powerful AI should never come at the cost of your privacy.

That’s why everything is built around one principle:

Your data belongs to you, and you stay in control.

Enterprise-Grade Security by Design

AINOTE is built on a secure, enterprise-level architecture, including:

• Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS / SSL)
• Cloud infrastructure based on trusted providers (AWS)
• Multi-layer protection systems (firewall, IPS, access control)
• 24/7 monitoring and risk detection

Security is not an add-on. It’s built into the system from the start.

AI That Works For You, Not On Your Data

We understand the biggest concern around AI:

>"Is my data being used to train models?"

With AINOTE, the answer is no.

• We use commercial AI APIs under strict agreements
• Your data is processed only for the task you initiate
• It is not used for model training
• It is not retained beyond necessary processing

This ensures your content remains private and under your control.

AI Is Only Activated When You Choose

AINOTE does not continuously collect or process your data.

AI capabilities are explicitly user-triggered, such as:

• AI summaries
• AI Q&A
• Meeting minutes generation

If you don’t use these features, your data is not sent for AI processing.

No hidden uploads. No background activity.

Core Features Work Even Offline

AINOTE is designed to ensure that core note-taking and productivity capabilities remain usable even without an internet connection.

This means you can:

• Write, organize, and review notes
• Continue your workflow uninterrupted

You stay productive, even in offline environments.

Regional Data Storage & Compliance

We understand that where your data is stored matters.

AINOTE provides region-based data deployment, including:

• Singapore (AWS) — serving Asia-Pacific regions
• Frankfurt (AWS) — serving Europe

Your data is routed and stored based on your region selection.

This setup ensures compliance with major data protection regulations, including:

• GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
• PDPA (Personal Data Protection Act)

You not only know how your data is handled.

you know where it lives.

Full Lifecycle Data Protection

Privacy protection at AINOTE covers the entire lifecycle:

• Data collection → controlled
• Data processing → transparent
• Data storage → secured
• Data access → strictly limited

Every layer is designed to minimize risk and maximize trust.

Our Commitment

We know privacy is not just about policies. It’s about real system design.

That’s why AINOTE is built to ensure:

AI helps you work better without taking ownership of your data.
