I'm highly skeptical because there's been lots of apps that promise an external memory - Asana, Evernote, Notion, Obsidian. Most fall short. But the gap between Obsidian falling short and what I'd like it to do isn't worth $99 per year.
There's two productivity tools I find magical:
1. ChatGPT wired into my command prompt.
2. Dash: https://kapeli.com/dash https://kapeli.com/dash
Both are fairly cheap, but I guess what I need is speed of access over quantity of storage. It's where most notekeeping apps fail, especially Asana, Notion, Evernote.
Notably both of them work well because I don't have to fill them in. Both dash and ChatGPT are prefilled. To remember a birthday or contact details from a business card, I'd have to put that in. Have you tried uploading business cards to Evernote? I paid for that feature but it still wasn't worth the trouble.
- vbond 4y agoI haven't considered uploading business cards to Evernote. Perhaps because the fastest way is just to add them to the calendar (talking about speed of access). The idea behind storing notes in a messenger is that it is a simple mental shortcut for "fire and forget" approach to note-taking. The AI is already pretty good so that it can automatically decide what to do with it.
