Evernote now layers AI over its familiar notebooks. The AI Assistant searches, organizes and enriches notes from a chat window, Semantic Search finds related notes by meaning, AI Transcribe records and summarizes meetings, and AI Edit writes, summarizes, tidies and translates text. AI Cleanup tidies notes on mobile, and an MCP connection lets Claude, ChatGPT and other compatible tools work with your notes. Integrations cover Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, Outlook and Slack, and the apps run on iOS, Android, web, Windows and Mac. The pricing cards list AI features on the Starter and Advanced plans. Starter allows 1,000 notes, 20 notebooks and 3 devices, while Advanced removes those limits. The free plan is now tight at 50 notes, 1 notebook and 1 device. Paid plans come with a 7-day trial, and teams can use Flexible seats or Enterprise. Evernote showed us zloty prices, so the USD price is pending.
