Creator plugins

The thirteen Notebooker creators that turn a notebook into flashcards, charts, infographics, mind maps, textbooks, essays, study guides, slideshows, timelines, wikis, Socratic tutoring sessions, counterpoint debates, and publishable websites.

Creators turn the sources in a notebook into a finished artifact you can study, present, or share. Pick a creator, set a few options, and Notebooker generates it from your content. Each creator is powered by a well-known open-source library, and several let you choose exactly what kind of output you want.

Flashcards

Generates question-and-answer cards from your notebook, with a built-in study mode that does real spaced repetition: grade each card Again / Hard / Good / Easy and the FSRS scheduler decides when it comes back, with your progress saved to your account. Export the deck as an Anki .apkg to study in Anki or any compatible app - see Flashcards & spaced repetition.

  • Options: number of cards (1–100, default 15), deck name (pre-filled from the notebook’s name).
  • Library: genanki for the Anki export; FSRS for scheduling.

Charts

Generates data charts: the model designs each chart as a declarative spec, rendered by your choice of three charting libraries - Vega-Lite, ECharts, or Chart.js. Pick a library and chart type in the creation dialog, or leave either on Auto and let Notebooker choose the best fit for the data.

  • Chart types: each library has its own catalog - the classics (line, bar, area, scatter, pie) plus library-specific types like heatmaps, radar charts, funnels, treemaps, sunbursts, and gauges.
  • Options: rendering library (auto / Vega-Lite / ECharts / Chart.js), chart type (auto or a specific type), theme (auto, light, dark), how many charts (1–6).
  • Library: Flint - browse the gallery to see every chart type in each library.

Infographics

Diagrams that explain relationships and structure rather than plot numbers, rendered with the AntV Infographic engine.

  • Graphic families:
    • Lists - bullets, grids, checklists, waterfalls, zig-zags.
    • Sequences - steps, stairs, funnels, pyramids, roadmaps, timelines.
    • Comparisons - side-by-side, quadrants, SWOT.
    • Hierarchies - org charts, trees, mind-map-style branches.
    • Relations - node-and-edge flow diagrams.
  • Options: theme (auto, light, dark, hand-drawn), how many (1–6).
  • Library: AntV Infographic - examples gallery.

Mind maps

Generates a single-root mind map of your material. Export to Markdown, PNG, or SVG.

  • Options: maximum depth (2–8, default 5), how many (1–6).
  • Format: Mermaid mindmap syntax under the hood.

Textbooks

Generates a full multi-chapter textbook from your notebook, optionally with practice exercises.

  • Options: number of chapters (1–20), audience (high school / undergraduate / graduate / general), include exercises, output formats.
  • Download: HTML, PDF, and/or EPUB.
  • Library: Quarto (with the Tectonic LaTeX engine for PDF).

Essays

Generates a structured essay in a style of your choosing.

  • Options: variant (argumentative / expository / comparative), length (short / medium / long), output formats.
  • Download: HTML and/or PDF.
  • Library: Quarto.

Study guides

Generates a study guide that walks topic by topic: key concepts, what you need to know, common misconceptions, and a glossary.

  • Options: number of topics (1–20), audience, output formats.
  • Download: HTML and/or PDF.
  • Library: Quarto.

Slideshows

Generates a slide deck - including data slides whose charts and infographics are pre-rendered with the same AntV engine as the Infographics creator.

  • Slide types: title, section, bullets, image+text, chart, infographic.
  • Options: number of slides (3–40), theme (reveal.js themes incl. light, dark, serif, moon, solarized, night, league), output formats.
  • Download: HTML (interactive reveal.js), PPTX (PowerPoint), and/or PDF.
  • Libraries: reveal.js + Quarto, with AntV Infographic for data slides.

Timelines

Generates an interactive timeline of events, optionally grouped into labeled lanes. Handles plain years, full dates, and date-times.

  • Item types: point, range, box, background.
  • Options: maximum events (3–60), grouped lanes on/off.

Wikis

Distills your notebook into a set of interlinked, Wikipedia-style topic articles: Notebooker picks the topics, writes a cited article for each (every claim footnoted back to the source it came from), and cross-links related articles with [[wikilinks]]. Browse the wiki right in the app - topic index, navigable links, references - or download it as Obsidian-ready Markdown: one .md per topic with YAML frontmatter, footnote citations, an index note, and a zip you can drop straight into an Obsidian vault.

  • Options: maximum topics (1–20, default 8), article length (concise / standard / comprehensive), index note on/off.
  • Download: per-topic Markdown files and the vault zip.

Socratic tutor

Turns your notebook into a guided tutoring session that teaches by asking, not telling. Notebooker plans the key concepts in your sources, then writes a full dialogue for each one: an opening question, a checklist to grade your own answer against, “I think…” buttons for the tempting wrong turns (each answered with a counter-question, never a correction), three hints that break the problem into smaller questions, and - only when you’ve used them all - a model answer cited back to your sources. Work through it in the app; every question is answerable from your material alone. See Socratic tutoring for how a session flows.

  • Options: number of concepts (3–25, default 10), difficulty (recall / application / synthesis - synthesis adds capstone questions that combine concepts), tutor persona, show model answers on/off, scope (e.g. “only through chapter 5” to keep later material out).
  • Download: a printable study sheet - questions and hints up front, answers at the back.

Counterpoints

Finds the genuinely debatable questions in your material and argues both sides properly. For each issue you get a neutrally-phrased question, two sides labeled from the content itself (“Growth first” vs “Stability first” rather than a generic For/Against), and matched argument pairs: a point with its evidence, a counterpoint that rebuts that specific point, and a steel-manned response - concessions allowed, strawmen not. An optional synthesis names the crux of each disagreement and what evidence would settle it, without declaring a winner. Read the debates in the app’s two-column view, or download them.

  • Options: number of issues (1–10, default 3), points per issue (2–8, default 4), synthesis on/off, output formats.
  • Download: Markdown, and/or PDF.

Websites

Turns your notebook into a complete multi-page static website: a home page that orients a first-time visitor plus a page per topic, cross-linked, with a navigation bar, a collapsible sidebar, and built-in search. Every page is planned from your sources and written only from your material. Download the site as a zip and drop it on any static host (GitHub Pages, Netlify, Cloudflare) - or, if you’ve connected your own storage with a public URL, publish it live in one click and get a shareable link. See Websites & publishing for details.

  • Options: number of pages (2–15, default 6), theme (10 Bootswatch looks, from clean cosmo to dark darkly), search on/off, sidebar on/off.
  • Download: the full site as website.zip - and a live URL when published.
  • Library: Quarto websites - the same engine behind quarto.org itself and course.fast.ai.

Tips

  • Steer the output in your instructions. For infographics especially, naming the layout you want (“lay this out as a SWOT”) gets you the graphic you have in mind - browse the AntV examples gallery for ideas. For charts, pick the library and chart type right in the creation dialog, or browse the Flint gallery.
  • Pick formats you’ll actually use. Document creators (textbook, essay, study guide, slideshow) let you choose which files to produce - fewer formats generate faster.
  • Bigger context, richer creations. Notebooker’s built-in models are chosen to be economical, so they work within smaller context windows. When a notebook is larger than the model’s limit, Notebooker automatically distills it to fit - condensing and pruning your sources before generating. Nothing breaks, but the creator is working from a summary rather than the full detail. If you want a creator to really draw on everything you’ve saved, bring your own AI keys and pick a model with a larger context limit - requests on your own keys are billed by your provider, not your Notebooker credit. The more of your notebook the model can see at once, the more thorough and specific the result.
