Notebook RAG for people who write in the margins
Ask your sources
anything.
Drop in PDFs, websites, YouTube videos, or lecture subtitles. Marginal reads them, answers your questions in a handwritten-feeling chat, and links every claim back to the exact page or timestamp — so you can check it yourself in seconds.
Ask & cite
Every answer links back to the page or timestamp it came from — click to see it highlighted in place.
Real citations
PDF citations render the actual page and glow the exact cited passage, not just a download link.
Handwritten chat
Toggle ruled, grid, dotted, or parchment paper, plus fountain, ballpoint, or pencil ink.
