From Scribbles to Structured Notes in One Click

Most meeting AI tools take one of two approaches: fully automated notes that ignore your perspective entirely, or no note-taking assistance at all. We think both are wrong. The best meeting notes blend your human judgment with AI's ability to fill in the details. That is exactly what Enhance Notes does.
The Notepad-First Philosophy
Karnyx is built around a notepad-first design. When you join a meeting, the first thing you see is a clean, distraction-free notepad. Not a transcript. Not an AI summary. A blank page waiting for your thoughts.
This is intentional. We believe your notes are more valuable than an AI transcript because they capture what matters to you specifically. When you write "pricing pushback - revisit Q2" during a call, that shorthand encodes your understanding of the situation, your priorities, and your intended follow-up. No AI watching the transcript would know to flag that moment the same way you would.
How Enhance Notes Works
The workflow is simple. During a meeting, you jot down rough notes the way you always have: keywords, abbreviations, fragments, arrows, whatever gets the idea down fastest. Do not worry about grammar, spelling, or complete sentences. Just capture the signal.
After the meeting, click the Enhance button. Karnyx cross-references your notes against the full transcript and expands each point into a complete, well-structured note. Your original keywords and shorthand become full paragraphs with context, attribution, and supporting details pulled directly from what was actually said.
The key principle: your notes stay. Every point you wrote remains in the enhanced version, clearly preserved. The AI additions appear alongside your original notes, visually differentiated so you always know what you wrote versus what the AI added. You remain in control of the narrative.
Before and After
Your raw notes during the call:
- pricing pushback - revisit Q2
- eng capacity blocker, need 2 more FE devs
- maria wants mobile app beta by march
- competitor launched similar feat last wk
After clicking Enhance:
- Pricing Pushback: The client expressed concern about the current tier pricing. Jordan suggested revisiting the pricing structure in Q2 once usage data from the pilot is available. Action item: Jordan to prepare a pricing analysis by April 1.
- Engineering Capacity: The team identified frontend engineering capacity as the primary blocker for the Q1 roadmap. Sarah noted that two additional frontend developers are needed to meet the mobile app timeline without impacting the dashboard redesign.
- Mobile App Beta: Maria requested that the mobile app beta be available by mid-March for internal testing. This depends on resolving the capacity issue above. Alex committed to sharing a revised timeline by Friday.
- Competitive Landscape: The team discussed a competitor launching a similar feature last week. Sarah will prepare a competitive analysis comparing feature depth and positioning for the next product review.
Human-AI Hybrid: The Best of Both
Enhance Notes is not about replacing your note-taking. It is about amplifying it. You provide the editorial judgment: which moments matter, what to highlight, where to focus. The AI provides the completeness: filling in names, dates, exact quotes, and context from the transcript. The result is notes that are both personally relevant and comprehensively detailed.
The best meeting notes are written by a human and finished by AI. Your judgment decides what matters. The AI makes sure nothing is lost.
Tips for Getting the Most Out of Enhance Notes
Use Keywords, Not Sentences
The less you write, the more the AI fills in. A two-word note like 'budget concern' gives the AI a clear signal to find and expand the relevant discussion from the transcript.
Mark What Matters to You
If something feels important during the meeting, jot it down even if it is just a single word. Your notes act as a filter that tells the AI where to focus its expansion.
Use Abbreviations Freely
Write 'FE devs' instead of 'frontend developers' or 'Q2' instead of 'second quarter.' The AI understands common abbreviations and expands them with full context.
Review and Edit After Enhancement
Enhanced notes are a draft, not a final product. Take a minute to review the AI's additions, correct anything that does not match your understanding, and add any personal observations.
Try It in Your Next Meeting
Enhance Notes is available in every Karnyx meeting. Open the notepad, jot your thoughts during the call, and click Enhance when the meeting ends. In seconds, your rough notes become comprehensive, well-structured documentation that captures both your perspective and the full context of the conversation.
