Why Note-Taking Feels So Hard (And The 4 AI Agents That Make It Easy)

I’ve watched hundreds of people abandon note-taking over the years.

They start with good intentions. Maybe they try Zettelkasten or Smart Notes. They capture highlights, save articles, build elaborate systems. But within a few months? They give up.
