How to use the Cornell Notes Generator.
Cornell notes separate prompts from supporting detail. The cue column should help you recall the material rather than repeat the entire note.
Make the workflow fit your task.
Separate source notes from questions that help you retrieve their meaning. Use the cue column for prompts rather than copied sentences, then write a short summary connecting the main ideas after reviewing the material.
- What you provide
- Lecture text or reading material.
- What you get
- Cue column, notes and concise recap.

Load this input into the prompt, then copy it to WebAct to try the task. Your result may differ from the illustration.
Decisions and troubleshooting.
Should the cue column repeat the full lecture note?
Use a question or keyword that prompts recall. Copying the entire answer into the cue removes the retrieval challenge.
Why is the summary just a shorter list of facts?
Explain how the concepts relate or support the lesson's main point. A useful summary captures the relationship as well as the terms.
Try it with your own source.
Replace the example with your material in the task prompt. Keep the requirements you need, then copy the task into WebAct.
