Fun With Prompts

Currently the “assistant” part of the r1’s “AI Assistant” is missing some key components like calendaring, reminders, etc…

That being the case we need to play with what we do have, create work arounds and new workflows. That means we need the right prompts.

As a community I believe we need to share our solutions and experiences in order to get our nifty r1’s to “assist” us.

To that end here are a few things I’ve been working on.

PTT = Push To Talk button

  1. Storing data in notes from search:

PTT ~ > “give me a list of the top 10 cities in the world by population”
PTT ~ store that in a note named “city data”

Now that data is available in a searchable note that I can add to a spreadsheet, DL it, whatever.

  1. Reminders (kind of):

PTT ~ > “create a note named July 10th Reminders add, 1. Call mom for her birthday 2. Pick up that expensive dog food at that new place 3. Get the battery tender from Dave”

Now if I’m consistent with my naming convention, each day I can retrieve reminders by:

PTT ~ > “Find my note named “July 10th Reminders”

This will list the reminders.

I can add or remove reminders in the note:

PTT ~ > “Find my note named July 10th Reminders”
PTT ~ > “Add xxxx to my July 10th Reminders note”

You should get a response saying the info was added to your July 10th Reminders note. Use “remove” instead of “add” to remove data from the note.

  1. Calendaring (kind of):

PTT ~ > “Create a note named July 10th Calendar, add, 10:00 AM Meeting with Amy regarding new architecture, 1:00 PM Design is due, 2:30 PM Dentists Appointment”

Now that I have the data stored in a note it can be retrieved in a few different ways:

PTT ~ > “When is my meeting with Amy”

PTT ~ > “find my note named July 10th Calendar”

You can experiment with prompts but it’s pretty flexible.

You can add, remove or change entries:

PTT ~ > “Find my note named July 10th Calendar”
PTT ~ > “add xxxx to my note named July 10th Calendar”
PTT ~ > “remove (specific entry) from my note named July 10th Calendar”
PTT ~ “replace (specific entry) with (specific entry) in my note named July 10th Calendar”

Keep experimenting!

Please share your experiences and prompts.

It looks like there’s a limit (time or possibly byte count) to the r1’s access to data in notes. This means data stored in notes gets ignored by the r1 (still visible and searchable via the rabbithole). Which of course means it’s useless unless you’re in the rabbithole.

This is a fairly big issue if you want to search for data and then store it as a note for later analysis or other use via the r1 itself.

I’ve been exploring notes as a means of feeding data to the r1 for various purposes, like to do’s, reminders, calendaring, address booking, database, etc… however, if after a certain amount of time or queries the r1 loses the ability to access the notes, then none of those uses are possible and the data in notes is only useable outside of the r1, which would be really weird.

I hope it’s a bug that will be addressed and not a limitation of the architecture.
