Penly v1.6 is here, and it's the biggest update since the AI assistant launched. This version transforms Penly into a true personalized AI agent that can read your pages, edit them in real time, archive what you no longer need — all without leaving the conversation.
You can now mention a page with @ to give the AI context, see its edit proposals before accepting them, and choose the AI model that fits your task. Whether you're preparing for exams or organizing your study sessions, Penly v1.6 is your most complete AI study assistant.
Mention Your Pages with @
Until now, you had to copy-paste page content for the AI to take it into account. That's over. Type @ in the chat and select the page you want to reference. Penly automatically reads its content and uses it as context to respond.
You can mention multiple pages at once. For example, type "@Constitutional Law Lecture" and "@Tutorial Week 3" to ask the AI to compare both or generate a quiz from both sources. Smart note-taking reaches a whole new level.
It's as simple as mentioning someone on social media. Except here, you're mentioning your own notes so the AI can work with them.
Edits You Control
Penly can now edit your pages directly — but never without your approval. When the AI proposes a change, you see a clear visual diff: deleted text in red, added text in green. One click to accept, one click to reject.
For students in a hurry, there's an auto-accept mode that applies edits automatically. You keep full control: every action is reversible and every edit is traceable in the chat history.
This visual proposal system makes AI-powered revision much more tangible. You're no longer reading a wall of generated text — you see exactly what changes in your notes, word by word.

Everything Stays Discreet
Penly's actions appear directly in the conversation as inline results. Page created, edit applied, page archived — each action shows up as a small clickable notification without interrupting the discussion flow.
You never leave the chat. No popup, no new window, no reload. The experience stays smooth and continuous, even when the AI performs multiple operations in a row.
This discreet approach is what makes Penly a pleasant AI study assistant for daily use. The tools are powerful, but they don't shout — they blend naturally into your conversation.
Choose Your AI Model
Not all students have the same needs. Some want quick answers, others want deep analysis. With v1.6, you choose the AI model that matches your task.
Multiple providers are available — Gemini, GPT — with different thinking levels. A fast model for simple questions, a "thinking" model for complex problems. Switch between them in one click.
The model selector is accessible directly in the chat. No need to go to settings. You adapt the AI to your current need, whether it's summarizing a chapter or solving a math problem.
Smart Page Reading
Long pages create a technical challenge: you can't send 50 pages of notes in a single request. Penly v1.6 introduces section-by-section reading that solves this problem elegantly.
The AI starts by retrieving your page outline (headings, subheadings, structure). Then it reads only the sections relevant to your question. It's faster, more accurate, and uses fewer credits.
This approach works with pages up to 32,000 or 100,000 characters depending on the model. Even your densest lecture notes are usable. Smart note-taking is no longer limited by document length.
42 Security Fixes
Alongside new features, this version includes a comprehensive security audit. 42 critical and high-severity issues were identified and fixed — scalability, data security, bundle performance, accessibility.
It's invisible but essential work. Every student using PenNote benefits from a more robust, faster, and better-protected application. Security is not an optional feature.
