Genio formerly Glean
On June 3, 2025, Glean changed its name to Genio.
The tool’s functions remain the same. If you already had a Glean account, the next time you log in, you will be moved to the new domain. See Migrating from Glean to Genio for more information. This page is in the process of being updated to use the new name.
Take meaningful notes with minimal effort.

Info-FOMO is real: you leave 65% of information behind in class if you don’t take notes. With Genio you can capture your whole class, improve your learning, and boost your grades.
Taking notes by hand does not capture everything. And, audio recording alone may capture everything but be difficult to use for study. That's where Genio can help. Genio is a cloud-based app that keeps your notes always within reach. It’s designed to chunk and tag an audio recording so you can have useful notes that are simple to review. Genio works on a laptop or desktop using the Chrome browser. If you like mobile apps, download the mobile version.
