Goodnotes is available as an app in ChatGPT and as a connector in Claude. Use either AI service to create text documents, whiteboards, and diagrams, then import the result as a new document in your Goodnotes library.
Important before you start: This integration uses the AI model from ChatGPT or Claude and does not use your Goodnotes AI credits. It is available on all Goodnotes plans, including the Free plan. A Claude Pro, Team, or Enterprise plan may be required to use connectors.
What you can create
The Goodnotes integration lets you generate three types of content through an AI conversation:
- Text Documents are formatted notes. Ask the AI to write study notes, meeting agendas, project plans, or other text-based content, and it will generate a Goodnotes-compatible text document.
- Whiteboards are freeform visual canvases. Ask the AI to draw illustrations, sketches, or visual layouts. Whiteboards use a dotted-pattern template by default. You can also request dark mode by saying something like, “Draw a timeline about the solar system using dark mode.”
- Diagrams include mindmaps, timelines, and flowcharts. Choose from three styles: Classic for colorful nodes and connectors, Gray for grayscale tones, or Line for outlines without fill colors.
Tip: Include the diagram style in your prompt. For example, “Draw a mindmap about machine learning in grayscale” or “Use line style for the diagram.”
Get started on ChatGPT
- Go to chatgpt.com and sign in to your ChatGPT account.
-
Select Apps in the sidebar, search for Goodnotes, select Connect, and confirm.
- Select Start Chat on the same page. You can also start a regular chat and type @Goodnotes in your prompt.
- Describe what you want to create. For example, “Create a mindmap about the French Revolution” or “Write study notes on photosynthesis.”
- Review the generated preview.
- Select Edit in Goodnotes to import the content into your Goodnotes library.
Get started on Claude
- Go to claude.ai and sign in to your Claude account.
-
In the sidebar, select Customize > Connectors > +, then search for Goodnotes.
-
Select Goodnotes in the results, then select Connect.
- Start a new conversation and describe what you want to create.
- Review the generated preview.
- Select Edit in Goodnotes to import the content into your Goodnotes library.
Import your content into Goodnotes
When you are happy with a generated document, whiteboard, or diagram, select Edit in Goodnotes. This opens a link that imports the content into your Goodnotes library as a new document.
Important: Make sure you are signed in to your Goodnotes Account and the Goodnotes app is open on your device. If the app is not open, the import may not complete successfully.
Each time you import generated or revised content from a chat, Goodnotes creates a separate new document in your library.
Things to know
- ChatGPT or Claude generates the content using its own AI model, so results may differ from content generated by Goodnotes AI.
- You can revise generated content in the same chat before importing it.
- The integration creates new documents only. It cannot edit or analyze documents already in your Goodnotes library.
