(CHICAGO) – Powerful notes, a provider of tools that help students and professionals create high-quality research quickly and efficiently, has added Composer, an advanced web-based word processor, to its PowerNotes+ platform. The new tool provides a semi-supervised environment to organize research and writing in an ai-enabled environment.
PowerNotes+ is a reading, research and writing platform that helps educators and institutions gain control and confidence through the use of artificial intelligence (ai) and addresses issues of intellectual integrity using transparency and evidence, not suspicion. Composer is a new tool that allows PowerNotes+ users to see the full picture of writers' research and writing, from ai-assisted text to external sources and original thoughts, all color-coded for easy identification.
“ai is still a new tool, but it is already embedded in many spaces,” said Dr. Catina Mitchum, adjunct associate professor at the University of Maryland Global Campus. “And it is constantly changing. Developing the skills to use these tools ethically is an essential part of digital literacy that will continue to help them succeed in school and in life.”
Composer enables users to minimize inappropriate use of ai and gain greater clarity in research and writing work, supporting them in using ai with integrity and effectiveness. Composer features include:
- The ability to write in PowerNotes+, providing proof of work from initial research to final assignment;
- A familiar interface similar to Microsoft Word and Google Docs;
- The ability to drag and drop research from the outline to the article, including the citation;
- Timestamps and version history of the job;
- The ability of educators or managers to provide feedback in real time;
- The option for educators and system administrators to disable specific ai tools; and
- ai integrations that can check facts, suggest ideas, and check grammar, providing tools to use ai in an ethically responsible way.
Composer is designed to improve source-based writing for students and researchers using a variety of research, note-taking, and writing software, such as Microsoft Word or Google Docs. By integrating source tracking and citation management into the research and writing process, Composer frees writers to focus on higher-level tasks, such as analyzing their chosen topic and synthesizing ideas. Composer allows teachers to create assignments and then closely observe the entire process their students follow, from gathering information to writing and revising.
PowerNotes created Composer in response to feedback from educators who wanted a word processor that could protect academic integrity as ai is integrated into existing products from Microsoft and Google. It is essentially impossible for one machine to determine whether a piece of writing was produced by another machine, so PowerNotes takes a different approach by facilitating the ethical use of ai. For example, because ai is integrated and research content is stored in PowerNotes, copying and pasting information from another source should be very limited and will be flagged by Composer.
If a teacher or manager suspects inappropriate use of ai, PowerNotes+ and Composer help shift the conversation from accusation to evidence by providing a clear trail of every action a writer has taken and where things came from. Setting clear parameters in the conversation between ai and plagiarism keeps the focus on the process of developing an idea into a full article or presentation.
“At PowerNotes, we believe ai can be a powerful tool to empower research and writing,” said Wilson Tsu, founder of PowerNotes. “However, we understand that educators and companies have legitimate concerns about the ethical use of ai tools. That's why, even as we launch Composer to provide real-world solutions to those challenges, we're partnering with educational institutions and organizations in our ai unit initiative in an effort to expand the coalition dedicated to the safe and ethical use of ai.”
