Overview

Notebooks are High IQ’s AI-powered consumption analysis — a complete evolution of what used to be called “Reports.” The idea is simple: every time you buy cannabis, that purchase shouldn’t just sit in a list. It should become something you can learn from, plan with, and revisit. When you generate a notebook, the AI takes your purchase data — the strains, terpenes, quantities, prices, and your personal history — and transforms it into a rich, multi-layered analysis. You get a detailed tabbed breakdown, an immersive full-screen story you can swipe through, and optional media like video summaries and audio walkthroughs. It’s your cannabis experience, documented and understood.

​
Why “Notebooks”?

We originally called this feature “Reports” — but reports felt static and one-directional. You’d generate one, read it, and move on. The reality of what the feature became was much richer: a living document with multiple ways to consume it, media attachments, stories you can swipe through, and daily recaps that build over time. Notebooks better captures what this feature actually is — a personal record of your cannabis journey that grows with you. Each notebook is a snapshot of a moment (a purchase, a week, a month) analyzed through multiple lenses: which strains you chose, what terpenes dominated, how to plan your sessions, and what patterns emerge over time.

​
The Journey: From Purchase to Notebook

Here’s how it works in practice:
1

You Buy Cannabis

You visit a dispensary and make a purchase. You add the order to High IQ — by scanning a receipt, importing from email, or entering it manually.
2

Your Order Sits in Your Stash

The strains from your order appear in your stash with full profiles — effects, terpenes, lineage, and more, all pulled from the High IQ database.
3

You Generate a Notebook

From the Notebooks tab, you tap + and select the strains you want analyzed. The AI gets to work, streaming each section in real time so you can watch it build.
4

Your Notebook Comes to Life

What was just a list of strains becomes a 5-tab deep analysis — an overview with key metrics, strain-by-strain breakdowns, terpene profiles and synergies, a personalized consumption plan, and insights comparing this purchase to your history.
5

You Experience It as a Story

The same analysis is also available as a full-screen Story — a swipeable, visual narrative in 6 acts that walks you through your purchase like a guided experience. Think Instagram Stories, but for your cannabis.
6

Daily Recaps Keep Building

As you consume and log sessions, Daily Stories are generated automatically each morning, creating an ongoing journal of your cannabis use — no effort required.
This is why Notebooks replaced Reports. A report is something you read once. A notebook is something that tells your story.

How to Generate a Notebook

1

Open Notebooks

Tap the Notebooks tab (sparkles icon) in the bottom navigation bar. You’ll see your existing notebooks as story circles in a grid view.
2

Tap the + Button

Tap the + button in the header. A stash selection modal opens where you can choose which items to include in the analysis.
3

Select Your Strains

Pick the stash items you want analyzed. You can select individual strains or choose all items from a specific order or time period.
4

Watch It Generate

A progress sheet appears showing real-time status. The pipeline moves through four stages:
StageWhat Happens
AnalyzingGathering your stash data, strain profiles, and terpene information
GeneratingAI is writing each section with streaming text
FinalizingAssembling the final notebook and computing insights
CompletedNotebook is ready — the app auto-navigates to the detail view
5

Explore Your Notebook

Once complete, the notebook opens in the detail view with 5 tabs of analysis to explore.
Notebook generation typically takes 30 seconds to 2 minutes depending on the number of strains analyzed and current server load.

​
Notebook Detail View

Each notebook has 5 tabs providing different perspectives on your data:

​
Overview Tab

A high-level summary with an order metadata grid, executive summary narrative, and key metrics — total strains analyzed, grams, amount spent, and average THC percentage.

​
Strains Tab

Detailed analysis of each strain in the notebook with research notes, effect profiles, and expandable cards showing lineage, grow information, and similar strain suggestions.

​
Terpenes Tab

Your combined terpene profile across all strains in the notebook — which terpenes dominate, how they interact (synergy combinations), and what that means for your experience.

​
Plan Tab

AI-generated consumption planning with 3-session or 4-session schedules. Each session recommendation includes suggested strains, optimal timing (morning, afternoon, evening), and expected effects.

​
Insights Tab

Comparative analysis showing how this notebook stacks up against your previous ones. Includes an effects spectrum visualization, safety notes, cost optimization suggestions, and seasonal pattern analysis.

​
Notebook Media

Notebooks can include rich media attachments powered by NotebookLM integration:
Media TypeDescription
Video SummaryA visual recap of your notebook highlights
Audio WalkthroughListen to your notebook analysis on the go
MindmapVisual map of strain relationships and terpene connections
InfographicShareable visual summary of key metrics and insights

​
Viewing Past Notebooks

All notebooks are saved and appear on the Notebooks tab as story circles — visual thumbnails arranged in a grid. Each circle shows:
  • Gradient ring color based on notebook type
  • Status indicator (generating, completed, or error)
  • Strain count badge
Tap any circle to open the detail view, or long-press to view as a Story.

​
Free Notebook Entitlement

Your first AI notebook is free. After that, notebook generation is part of the premium tier. The app tracks whether you have used your free notebook entitlement.
If a notebook encounters an error during generation, you can retry without using another notebook credit. The error message and stage where it failed are preserved for troubleshooting.

​
Tips

Generate a notebook after a dispensary visit to get immediate analysis of your new purchase. Order-based notebooks are especially useful for understanding what you bought and planning how to use it.
Notebooks are most valuable when you include at least 3-5 strains. Single-strain notebooks work but produce less comparative insight.
Try the Stories viewer for a quick visual recap of your notebook — it presents the same data in a swipeable, full-screen format that’s easy to browse through.
