AI note taker questions, answered plainly.
What Ghost saves, where AI notes come from, how search works, and how sources and related work remain usable.
What is an AI note taker?
An AI note taker captures useful information and turns it into organized, searchable notes. Ghost can create notes from meetings, research, email, chat, browser work, connected data, and manual writing, while keeping the source and related work attached.
Can Ghost create notes automatically?
Yes. Ghost can file findings, decisions, summaries, and other useful work as notes while it works. You can also create and edit notes manually.
Where can Ghost notes come from?
A Ghost note can originate from a meeting, research task, email, chat, browser work, connected data source, or manual writing.
Does each note keep its source?
When source context is available, Ghost stores the source type, source identity, origin, and links alongside the note. Notes can also reference related meetings, tasks, and other notes.
Can I edit AI-generated notes?
Yes. Notes use a rich block editor for headings, lists, paragraphs, and inline formatting. You can change the title or body and save the revised note.
Can I ask Ghost about a saved note?
Yes. Add a saved note to a Ghost conversation and ask for a summary, comparison, draft, or next step grounded in that note.
Can Ghost search saved notes?
Yes. Ghost can search active notes by topic and across their titles, bodies, sources, origins, email threads, data paths, external links, and linked note, meeting, or to-do references.
Can notes link to meetings and to-dos?
Yes. A note can retain typed references to the meeting that produced it, the focus to-dos connected to it, and other related notes, so the record and the work stay together.
Can temporary notes expire?
Yes. You can set an expiry date for temporary notes. After that date, Ghost archives them so they leave the active notes list and normal search results.
