  I know. I'm know does not mean anything in English. There are many grammar checkers online. Please try to post some research with your question or show, beyond just googling, why you think something is right or wrong.

Your usage is incorrect.

If you mean that you are aware of something, or understand something, then "I know" is correct, and "I'm know" is incorrect. The following examples are correct:

I know that you will be a great addition to the team.

I am confident that you will be a great addition to the team.

If you mean that other people know you, then "I'm known" is correct, and "I'm know" is incorrect. The following examples are correct:

I'm known as Jasper on this website.

I'm known for a math project I did a while back.

"I'm known" is less formal than "I am known". Contractions are rarely used in formal communications.

"I'm know" is definitely incorrect. A Google search shows it's mostly used by non-native speakers, especially Spanish and Russian native speakers. It also comes up as the title of one or two songs.

Breaking the contraction down, you have "I am know." Both "am" and "know" are verbs, and neither are used as "helping" verbs. Only one of the verbs should be applicable:

I know. (This means that I understand the topic)

I am knowledgeable. (This means that I generally understand or know about many different things)
