OneNote is a free-form digital notebook. MySamantha is a connected personal workspace.
OneNote gives you flexible, free-form pages and deep ties to the Microsoft ecosystem. MySamantha takes a different shape: Notes, Tasks, Journal, Email and Calendar built into one product, with Samantha as an optional assistant inside it.
Choose OneNote if…
You want a free, flexible notebook for long-form and free-form capture, especially if your work already runs on Microsoft 365.
Choose MySamantha if…
You want your notes to share one home with tasks, journal, email and calendar, with AI assistance that is optional, supports bring your own key, and can be turned off.
The architectural difference
OneNote is a canvas that pairs with other Microsoft apps. MySamantha is one product where the pieces are already connected, so information moves between notes, tasks, email and calendar without switching apps.
Let’s save you hours of re-reading your own notes
Your notes transform with one click.
MySamantha can summarize, turn lines into to-dos, draft emails, or explain complex ideas, all without leaving your note.
Your voice becomes clean notes instantly.
Speak naturally, MySamantha turns your words into structured, readable notes with headings, paragraphs, and key points. No effort, no retyping.
Your notes organize themselves.
Stop naming and sorting your notes manually. MySamantha generates clear titles, groups your notes automatically, and keeps everything tidy so you focus on writing, not organizing.
Every note is one ask away.
Can’t remember where you wrote something? Just ask Samantha, and she can find, summarize, or open the note you need.
A notes app that happens to have an assistant.
Documents, tables, backlinks, version history, web capture and search all work on their own. Samantha is there when you want her, and gone when you switch AI off.
