What is Ask AI in Noted?
Ask AI answers questions about the note you have open. It uses your typed notes, and the transcript if the note has one. With a transcript, tap the timestamp in the answer to jump to that moment in the audio. No keywords or manual searching required.
Do I need to transcribe my recordings first?
No, but with a transcript it can also find answers in the recording and take you to the moment.
How is Noted different from other note taking apps?
Most note taking apps focus on capturing information. Noted is designed to help you find information later. With Ask AI, you can ask questions about a note and jump to the moments that matter, making your notes more valuable over time.
How does it work?
- Open a note in Noted and tap the ✨ icon
- Select Ask AI and enter your question.
- Review the answer and tap the timestamp to jump to that moment in the audio.
Do I need an internet connection to use Ask AI?
No. Ask AI runs on your device with Apple Intelligence, so it works without an internet connection.
Is my data private when using Ask AI?
Ask AI runs on your device and follows Apple’s privacy and security standards for Apple Intelligence. Your recordings and notes stay on your device; they are not shared or stored externally.
What types of questions can I ask Ask AI?
Ask AI understands natural language, so you can ask questions the same way you would ask a colleague. You can ask Ask AI anything about the note, such as:
“When did we talk about the marketing plan?”
“What deadlines did we discuss?”
“What was the final decision on pricing?”
“What action items were assigned to me?”
What happens if Ask AI can’t find an answer?
If Ask AI can’t find relevant information in the note, it will let you know. Try rephrasing your question or providing more context to help narrow the search.
Why can’t I see Ask AI in Noted?
Ask AI requires:
- The latest version of Noted
- iOS 26, iPadOS 26 or macOS 26 on a device that supports Apple Intelligence
- Apple Intelligence enabled on your device
If you meet these requirements and still don’t see Ask AI, make sure your device software is up to date.
