Opennote – Interactive Learning for Students

Hey 👋

We’re Abhi, Rishi, and Vedant — the co-founders of Opennote!

TL;DR

Opennote is the AI tutor that lives in your notes—turning what you write, into what you learn. Over 55,000 students use it today to study smarter with a learning experience that’s personalized and collaborative.

How It Works

Opennote goes beyond passive tools by acting as a proactive learning partner embedded directly inside your notes. Our tutor, Feynman, analyzes your writing and thinking patterns in real time, guiding you with Socratic questions, targeted feedback, and visual explanations right where you’re working—helping you truly understand, not just memorize.

You can study on your own or invite friends to join you—discuss your thoughts, share your journals, and publish your learning in real time for others in the community to see! Opennote makes learning more engaging, social, and effective.

Why This Matters

Existing tools are either static note-takers, passive quiz generators, or outdated LMS systems. Students are demanding smarter, more social ways to learn. Opennote is redefining the space by making learning truly interactive and collaborative.

The Team

We’re a team of three undergrad CS and software engineering students with experience across building software at medtech, fintech, and infrastructure startups — and years spent tutoring and TA’ing. We’ve lived the education grind and built the product we always wished we had.
