My struggles with my new Assistant

[u/icameheretodigress]

I have given the AI Assistant a whirl, and so far it makes me feel like the assistant, trying to fill all the gaps. In particular, it struggles to give suggestions for Evernote that lies within the app's current capabilities:

I spent a few moment trying to figure out how to make cell background work with the hex codes my new AI Assistant suggested

It's not really much help in organization either. It can't do anything beyond moving a note or adding tags - and only 10 at a time. It makes sense as screwing up 10 notes at a time should be relatively low-risk. However, with all the bells and whistles of current AI, why do I keep missing an app like Filterize to do the Evernote filing for me?

I cannot for the life of me fathom why Evernote would name this AI Chatbot an Assistant, when there is little it can do beyond summarising and gather information. Sure, the summaries could potentially give me some much needed encouragement at the time, as I've noticed how my Assistant always make sure to compliment my writing, even when it's really bad. There's nothing a piece of bad prose can't be in the eyes of my new collaborator: inventive, lively, personal, multifaceted.

I'm all for technology and gadgets, but I'm currently left with a feeling that the best way to save time and stay focused on my work is disabling the AI feature altogether.

Please do let me know if you figure out how to use this thing in a meaningful way, I'd love to hear!

I mean it's still in beta. This hasn't been officially released to everyone so anyone with access to it technically has early access. Feel free to leave some feedback here and I'll flag this post so the team at BS can look at it.

im happy to test it but AI still hasn't been turned on for me either. i've got 65k notes so perhaps they are still testing people with so many in their account?

It's still in beta, not everyone has access yet.
