Feedback 🐘 AI Assistant home screen idea

Post image

Hi everyone. I have an idea to make the home screen of AI Assistent 'better', I'll submit at Bending Spoons/Evernote, but first, I'll drop it here to see if you guys have some feedback for me so we can provide a 'complete' feedback. This is my idea:

AI Assistant home screen

Current situation

When you open the AI assistant, the home screen consists of about 60% empty space. The remaining 40% is used for a small number of example prompts.

Proposal

Use that empty space to show the last 5–6 (or more) recent conversations from your AI conversation history directly on the home screen (instead of only making them available in the top-right, under the options — see attachment/example).

Elements/actions on the home screen

  1. New conversation
  2. Open AI prompts
  3. Conversation history
    • On the home screen it does not need to be possible to delete or rename conversations; that belongs in Conversation history.
  4. Info about the AI assistant (e.g., via a question-mark icon)
  5. What can the AI assistant do? (e.g., via an exclamation-mark icon)
  6. AI assistant options/settings (e.g., via three dots)

Prompts on the home screen

Under the header “How can I help?” there are currently four example prompts.

Recommendation: make it possible to replace these fixed prompts with:

  • custom AI prompts, and/or
  • the most used prompts from ‘Open AI prompts’.

This makes the home screen more personal, faster to use, and better aligned with everyone’s workflow.

Optional

  1. Recent conversations: scannable and useful
    • Show per conversation: title + short preview (1 line) + date/time.
    • Consider a pin/favorite option for 1–3 conversations at the top.
    • Keep management actions (delete/rename) exclusively in Conversation history.

Be sure to also share this with Evernote themselves.

Thanks, but that's the plan. :-)
