Knowt - Know your Notes! Knowt is an app for iOS, Android, and Web that uses machine learning to automatically turn your notes into review quizzes. The future of learning is here!
It feels great to finally be on Product Hunt after several years of hard work! We created Knowt to solve a common problem that we have as students -- studying effectively -- and we wanted to make this less of a problem for both ourselves and other students. We started Knowt in 2016 when we were in high school, and have continued working on it throughout college, to deliver on a vision for a future of better learning. Our app is the first step by our company to ensure that this vision becomes a reality.
Knowt is available on iOS, Android, and Web - and it uses machine learning to automatically converts your notes, or any review material online, into review quizzes. Simply open our app; either type your notes or copy and paste them into our editor; and hit quiz! It's that simple. Any notes you write or find online can be entered into Knowt and reviewed - no extra work required. Learn more about Knowt and its amazing features by checking out https://www.getknowt.com/ and if you really love Knowt, please support our Kickstarter campaign here:https://www.kickstarter.com/proj...
Since 2016, we have continued to grow and build the app with others who share our vision, and Knowt has completely changed! A month ago, we launched our official open Knowt Beta - a complete redesign of the app that we initially launched back in high school. Our new beta focusses on two main things:
*An elegant and incredibly friendly user interface
*An advanced question generating algorithm that has improved tremendously and incorporates more advanced machine learning techniques that make Knowt's questions smarter and more detailed.
We are absolutely thrilled to hear what you have to say, and we hope you join us on this journey with Knowt!
Happy learning,
The Knowt Team
@new_user_1366b34589 Unfortunately, Knowt currently only supports English text as our team primarily resides within the United States. However, we have started exploring the possibility of adding foreign texts, so stay tuned on our website (getknowt.com), Product Hunt, and Kickstarter for future announcements!
HI @angelpangpang we just added multi-language support in Knowt! Be sure to check it out and let us know if you have any issues. Hope you like it!

I LOVE this product. Just wondering, will it always be free? I'd like to introduce it to my school district but I'm afraid that we might not be able to afford it if you begin charging at a later date.
@horace_austin thank you so much for the kind words! We're so glad you enjoy using Knowt. We currently do not have any plans to significantly monetize any major part of our platform. Since weβre a team of students, we understand the feeling of missing out on good services because of high costs. At the moment, all major features on Knowt are free.
Weβre also currently working on a new school platform, which we think teachers like yourself would really find useful. Weβll be sure to let you know about these updates as soon as they are ready! In the meantime, I hope you can use and introduce Knowt to your students. If you have any more questions, do not hesitate to reach out to us!
Hey everyone!
With all the support and positive feedback we were getting from you guys, we decided to launch our Kickstarter early! We're looking for $3,500 to help us improve some of the algorithm features, introduce new premium features (which will be free to backers pledging just $15 or more!), and spend more towards advertising and marketing. Every dollar helps us grow and helps you study better. Please check it out at getknowt.com/kickstarter!
We were also just recently featured in this blog as one of the top new android apps in August! Check it out here: https://prabidhi.info/en/unique-...
I really like the idea, quiz education is really useful and it does actually have a good effect on learning.
And automation of quiz-creating sounds like a very needed thing.
But I tried to use your product and it seems that you still need to improve your AI.
@abheek_pandoh Just to test it out, I copied a piece of your first comment here and pasted in the app. Some of the questions were really good, but a few of them were a little bit silly and even confusing Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
And please, make a signup process easier (like Google/Facebook signup for example).
Anyways, I see great potential in it! Keep moving and train your algorithm with more data! π₯
@ihor_levenets1 Hi, Ihor! Thanks for trying out our product. Knowt's algorithm is currently trained for educational texts, such as notes you have taken based on articles, textbooks, etc. The type of comment I posted is not really what the algorithm is really based on. However, you can select from some of the example texts on our page's tutorial, such as "Historical Figures", "Atoms", and "Animals", to get a sense for the type of questions our algorithm can generate. We're working around-the-clock to keep improving this algorithm, so you may find some kinks that we'll need to iron out (you can send those to the Contact section on our site too!). As for the Google sign-in, that is something we have passed on to our development team, and they're currently handling the issue. Having a seamless Google sign-in is essential to the simplicity and ease we hope to provide in our product, so we will definitely be prioritizing this issue. Thank you so much for our feedback! We hope Knowt makes learning easier and faster for you!
@timroad2 Hi Tim, its really sad to hear that you didn't like our design. But we're always trying to improve our app and would love to discuss with you on how we could do that.
@baadier Hi Baadier, currently we have not had any plans to add Evernote support. But we are adding new ways to import like web scraping (where you can enter a website URL and extract text from it), and it seems like Evernote support has been a popular request amongst many beta testers - so we will look into it more in the coming months! Stay tuned for updates through our website!

@abheek_pandoh sweet! Thanks for the feedback :) Do you have a mailing list where I can sign up for product updates? I've already signed up for the app so if thats where you plan on communicating then its cool :)
@baadier We're still setting up our mailing list and it should be up on our website soon, but signing up for an account is perfect. We'll send all our users constant updates on the apps progress! Also when we do start rolling out features like Evernote support and Web Scraping - we're going to be offering them earlier to the people in our closed beta. If you're interested in that - please check out our kickstarter at getknowt.com/kickstarter (its only $15)! Every pledge will help us to make better features come out faster!
@miryam_jivotovski Hi Miryam, we're so glad you like Knowt! Unfortunately not many women have applied to join our company yet. We would be ecstatic to expand our team and for anyone to join, and hope to do just that in the coming weeks! Stay tuned for more and checkout our Kickstarter at grtknowt.com/kickstarter - we're running a special promotion for the next week and every pledge would help us tremendously!
