AI-powered assistant for NotebookLM with resizable dashboard and chat interface

Footnote AI is an AI-powered research and analysis extension designed to help users generate accurate, explainable, and source-backed insights from documents and the web. It enables users to ask questions, analyze content, and build reports while ensuring that every AI-generated answer is grounded in verifiable sources. Unlike traditional AI tools that produce answers without transparency, Footnote AI connects each response directly to its supporting evidence. Users can upload PDFs, search the web, and interact with AI-generated outputs where citations are clickable and highlighted at the exact source location. This makes research faster, more reliable, and easier to validate. Footnote AI also provides advanced configuration options that allow users to control how the AI behaves- such as defining the role, tone, audience, answer format, and custom language rules. These settings ensure consistent, professional outputs tailored to specific use cases like financial analysis, consulting research, or executive reporting. With its built-in report editor, users can combine their own notes with AI-generated and grounded content. The extension clearly differentiates between AI answers, grounded source text, and manual notes, and supports exporting reports with or without highlights while preserving citations. Overall, Footnote AI is built for professionals who need trustworthy AI, clear source traceability, and structured outputs- making it ideal for analysts, researchers, consultants, and decision-makers who rely on accuracy and evidence.
