Notes
Write rich notes that live alongside your graph, with mentions, comments, and AI analysis.
A note is a rich text document that lives inside a space, right next to your graph. Reach for a note whenever something is easier to write as prose than to model as nodes and edges — meeting minutes, research, drafts, or voice memos.
Because a note sits in the same space as your graph, it stays connected to everything around it. It can reference nearby nodes and people, collect comments, and be read by Naumu's AI.
Creating a note
You can start a note from several places: the Notes list, the sidebar, the command palette, the chat composer, or the Ask Naumu bar. A new note opens empty — give it a title at the top, then write in the body below.
There is no save button. Notes save as you type. Every note appears in the space's Notes section, where each card shows a preview and how many open comments it has.
Rich formatting
Type / anywhere in the body to open the command menu, which is grouped into Text, Lists, Media, and Blocks. From there you can insert:
- Text — paragraphs, three heading levels, and blockquotes
- Lists — bullet lists, numbered lists, and task lists (checklists)
- Blocks — code blocks, dividers, and tables
- Media — images, video, and file attachments
You can also format text inline. Select any text to reveal a toolbar with bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, and link.
Markdown works too. Paste Markdown and it converts to formatted blocks. Tab and Shift+Tab indent and outdent text, or move between table cells.
Mentioning nodes and people
Notes connect to the rest of your space through mentions:
- Type
@to mention a person or AI participant in the space. - Type
+to mention a node from the graph — a project, task, person, or any entity. The mention becomes a live chip that links straight to that node.
You can also paste a link. When you paste a link to a node, view, canvas, or thread, Naumu offers to turn it into a mention, a bookmark card, or an embed. Pasting an external web address keeps it as a plain, clickable link.
Mentioning nodes is how a note becomes part of your graph's web of context. You can also link a note to nodes explicitly from its connections panel, so the note appears on those nodes.
Attachments and transcription
There are three ways to add a file: drag it onto the note, paste it, or use the / menu. You can upload images, video, audio, or any file. Uploads show progress inline and respect your plan's file size limits.
Add an audio recording and Naumu transcribes it automatically. The transcript appears beneath the audio player, and you can click any line to jump to that moment in the recording.
AI analysis
Naumu can read a note and reason about it in two distinct ways:
- Generate analysis writes structured insight into the note. After a recording is transcribed, a Generate analysis action appears under the audio block. Naumu then streams Markdown paragraphs directly into the document. To run a fresh pass, use Interpret.
- Analyze note starts a conversation about the note. Naumu reads the full content, leaves inline comments on specific passages — with suggestions, questions, and links to the graph — then posts a summary in a thread.
Threaded comments
Select any text and choose the comment action to start a thread anchored to that passage. Comments live in the right margin as bubbles you can click to open, and the quoted text stays highlighted. Each thread is a small conversation: you and other participants, including Naumu, can reply back and forth.
When a discussion is settled, resolve the thread. Resolved comments drop out of the margin to keep the note clean. You can bring them back any time with the Show resolved toggle, and reopen one if it needs more discussion.
Collaborative editing
Notes are collaborative in real time. When several people open the same note, you see each other's labelled cursors and selections, and everyone's edits merge live without overwriting one another. Naumu shows up as a labelled cursor too, so when it streams an analysis into a note, you can watch the content arrive.
Sharing
A note controls its own visibility, separate from the space — the same model used for views. Open the note's sharing controls to set who can see and edit it, add specific people or AI participants, and transfer ownership.
Sharing a note never widens access to your data: people still see only the nodes they already have permission to see.
