- Visibility into Al Interactions: All Al sessions are documented, tracked, and visible to faculty, and any edits to Al outputs can easily be compared with the originals. This provides faculty with a holistic picture of how Al was used in an assignment.
- Reduced Al Hallucinations: PowerNotes Brainstorm is designed to minimize the drawbacks of Al. Students use PowerNotes to evaluate, organize, and save important research. PowerNotes Brainstorm can limit the Al’s knowledge to this student curated content to cut down on Al hallucinations.
- Enhanced Privacy: Brainstorm allows students and faculty to interact with the Al on a completely anonymous basis. All Al prompts and outputs are deleted outside of PowerNotes.
Safe, Secure & Empowered Learning with Al
With the rise of Generative Al, there’s a growing concern about its use for cheating. Many educators also view Al as an opportunity that could offer significant benefits to education. Industry is already adopting Al and future employees will need to be versed in the technology. With the proper instructor guidance and teaching environment, Al has the power to enhance the educational landscape while preparing our students for the future.
The Problem
- Cheating
Al makes it way too easy, fast, and cheap to cheat - Cheating
Al makes it way too easy, fast, and cheap to cheat - Hallucinations
Al makes stuff up sometimes
- Privacy
OpenAl knows and owns everything - Al-Based Detectors Don’t Work

The PowerNotes Solution
Our focus has always been process over product because process is where the learning occurs-product is more susceptible to cheating. PowerNotes has built a transparent and efficient process that allows students to track and document their research and learning experience, while allowing educators to assess their progress. Our new suite of Al-inspired features responsibly integrates Al into this process.
Safely Bring Al Into Your Curriculum
With PowerNotes Brainstorm™, instructors can introduce Al into the classroom in a way that promotes transparency and accountability:
Academic Integrity Tools that Work
With PowerNotes Insight™, faculty can quickly get an indication of whether Al has been used inappropriately in an assignment without the risks inherent to Al based detectors:
- Proof-of-Work: Unlike Al-based detectors, Insight compares students’ work to their final submission putting an emphasis on their work and the learning process (hard to fake) rather than the final product (easy to fake).
- Evidence: Insight’s Activity Log provides a complete record of the learning process so that academic integrity can be demonstrated using evidence-not suspicion. Faculty can investigate low Insight scores by reviewing all activity, including Al interactions.
- Inappropriate Use of Al: If you want to use and teach with Al in the classroom, detectors alone are ineffective. PowerNotes Insight accounts for Al usage in PowerNotes and only calls out inappropriate Al usage outside of PowerNotes.
Improve Research Efficiency with Al
PowerNotes Discovery™ is a new feature added to our browser extension that allows researchers to:
- Summarize Articles: Produce a summary of any article or webpage in real-time.
- Find Related Research Topics: Generate a list of related research topics and find resources on those topics through Google or in your library catalog.
- Query the Article: Researchers can ask specific questions of the article in a semi-closed environment. Only questions relevant to the article are answered using the content of the article.
