Similarly, it would be helpful if AI chat could read backlinks in a note. For those of us who don't really make new notes but instead just link/reference topics in daily notes with bullets below, it is very helpful to be able to ask AI questions and have it scrub through backlinked info to find it for you. You can do this in Reflect and it works beautifully there. Please add this functionality to Capacities.

i've been using capacities in a work context. This is a gap I'd love to see addressed. Being able to use AI to summarise multiple notes, maybe as simple as adding multiple objects as context to AI queries. e.g. weekly report from the last week's calendar entries with their sub-content. or e.g. a summary with actions of a series of meetings, or a collection. etc etc.

Just subscribed to test the AI feature, and saw it works almost like an extension to GPT.

I really expect that the AI interacts with my notes, helping me getting summaries of my tasks, notes and everything else.

Reflect.app's take on this is really good. You identify a subset of your notes (All daily notes for the last 6 months, etc) so that the data fits in their AI's context window. Then you are able to "chat with your notes." This allows for querty results that are within a certain context. GIven how large context windows are currently, it allows you to cast a wide net when setting the note subset.

Searching and asking AI chat feature about your content across your workspace based on word search and other semantics granular content , will be the upcoming hygiene in all database tools. Co-pilot has it and it does a poor job, which is why so many people seriously consider using other productivity apps outside of the Microsoft World (though it builds up friction) but the convenience and other productivity features other AI app provides would cause users to use additional tools outside of Microsoft, cause of all the time saving and automation it brings.

I wonder if in this context, part of the plan might be to give users the option to share our Capacities data with other services? For example, with NotbookLM from Google, or other AI agents being built everywhere? Right now the rapid pace of development all over the AI space (which is awesome) seems to be leading to a user experience of many additional silos. It would be nice to grant such integrations to allow users to chose their 'AI front end' of choice (I am not a developer, so please excuse my imprecise use of language).

I think that people treat AI like some kind of silver bullet. It wouldn't make you smarter and organized by querying all your notes for you, because thinking part human still needs to do manually. There is no point in adding AI features for the sake of AI features. Better spend this time polishing the app, making the user experience as smooth as possible, and maximizing the performance of the app. That would be a lot more valuable in the long term, than some AI hype that will end the same as the dotcom crisis. Otherwise, you will end up as Mem.ai, with a lot of promises of a bright AI future, but failed in so basic things like a good text editor or dark theme.

This would make a great difference! I totally support this
