Built with Next.js 14, TypeScript, and shadcn/ui, it enables users to write in Markdown, organize with tags and folders, and leverage OpenAI's GPT models for intelligent content creation. The application uses vector embeddings for semantic search that finds notes by meaning rather than keywords, RAG technology that references existing notes when generating new content, and auto-completion for writing assistance. With a clean interface featuring real-time Markdown preview, syntax highlighting, and keyboard shortcuts, Note Gen transforms note-taking into an active knowledge management system. Perfect for students, writers, developers, and professionals, it helps brainstorm ideas, discover connections between notes, and synthesize information across your knowledge base.
