Besides AI, what other feature/functions are being added? What current feature/functions are being updated/refined? For example, will Evernote Tasks be able to get tagged?

There has to be more to v11 than just AI.

There are other improvements coming but the bulk of the new stuff is based around AI.

I would like to see tasks get another good look and tagging would be useful.

I don't want anything to do with ChatGPT. Anything.

You'll be able to switch it all off if you don't need it.

Personally I’m really happy about these changes. I do enough content capture > thinking/writing > content creation that I’m excited to have the help of AI. I’ve also been very frustrated by the current intelligence search, which rarely provides actual answers that are available. And I have been wanting to request the meeting notes. I hope it’s on par with Granola (fantastic) so that notes can be captured right into my system. I hope, too, but they are easy to share with others from the same meeting, even if they don’t use Evernote. All in all, an exciting update!!

Unrelated question: Any chance they have brought back tabs in EN 11? That’s one more thing that would really improve navigation and workflow for me as I often need multiple windows accessible and don’t have the space to have them all open at once. CMD-J just doesn’t cut it. Fingers crossed!

I don’t think tabs are coming for version 11. They’re a strange one as windows folk never had them as it was a Mac only feature so there’s not a massive call of them. I personally think they would be used and I know it’s on a list somewhere as they’ve mentioned it.

The semantic search is amazing already and I’m find it extremely useful. Looking forward to trying meeting notes at some point.

What a way to round up the week😄 These new AI features sound interesting. Really looking forward to when you have opportunity to demonstrate some use cases for the latest developments. I always feel you gain much more watching a feature being explained.

Absolutely. I'm putting together a list of cases for some future articles. Its always better when these types of feature have context.

I'm wondering if we can connect EN to our (paid) ChatGPT accounts, for continuity and context. I realize the in-EN chat will have all of the context that exists inside EN (I guess?) but custom instructions and persistent memory over on Chatty-G is what I use to produce actual usable results. Wondering what the cross-over will be?

And meeting notes are very welcome. I use Granola at the moment, but I would certainly use this feature (all my manual meeting notes are in EN).

We can't. I think I would like that as I have a paid ChatGPT account but I believe the integration goes a little deeper than just a connection. I would very much like memory as well.

A lot of folk seem to be using Granola and from what I hear its very good. It'll be interesting to see the meeting notes recorder working.

Looks like a good direction in terms of options for improving search and integrating with conersational ai like chatgpt. Semantic search looks promising andd adding to a longer term perspective for the relevancy of Evernote. So much still to ask for on general functionality improvement, so i’ll wait to see when it materializes.

Yeah. There are a few other improvements coming as well as the AI but the bulk of version 11 is AI.

I cannot wait for v11. These AI improvements look so good. I’ve used the meeting recorder regularly. In its current form, it’s ok, but having it recognise different speakers would really enhance it.

One question about the AI Assistant, what model or restrictions does it follow? Can you sign into ChatGPT to have it use your subscription model/restrictions? Or is this just an OpenAI collaboration rather than ChatGPT integration?

Its a collaboration rather than having ChatGPT plugged in and using your OpenAI account. I'm not sure what model yet. There's one or two testers thinking its one of the 4 models. So I suppose there are restrictions, its not a ChatGPT free for all, rather the tech being applied to Evernote. It does have access to what the model knows though and web search.
