This is a brilliant use case—handwriting input combined with LLMs makes for a much more natural workflow. I wonder how well it handles messy handwriting and if fine-tuning on personal notes would improve recognition over time.

I did this a few months ago with the Remarkable Paper Pro and Claude. It worked quite well, my handwriting is pretty terrible, and I even had a clunky workflow where I could just write down stuff I wanted to do, and roughly(or specifically) when I wanted to do it, and it was able to generate an ical I could load into my calendar.
Generally if I can read my handwriting then it can! It has no issues with that. Really the problem is more in spacial awareness -- it can't reliably draw an X in a box, let alone play tic-tac-toe or dots-and-boxes.
