congrats on launching OP. i have to say the sidebar is very confusing, does too much, and had no explanation of how to use them. hope you get to work on the UX a bit.

edit - just saw that you made more videos to explain those things. well put them all in one video!

Thank you! yeah it's definitely the next job to think about onboarding and UX, ideally you wouldn't even need a video!

Quick sort of outline on the sidebar - on the homepage, those are the prompts that are being injected. It's actually a configuration I made 'with nova' for guests. In this view they're they're 'read only', so can't be edited, but each prompt is injected at the top of the convo.

I kinda left them on to show the prompt injection at work, but I think its maybe a bit confusing, in a commercial example (eg a front page assistant) that part would be hidden (and probably whole thing would be delivered into like chat box etc).

Once you're in as a user, the starter prompts are basically the same, thats the kernel of 'nova', but with an extra prompt about goal setting, but also just an example of like modifying agent prompts over lifecycle, public v private chat.

Those prompts you can delete or edit, and you can also make new pages with different prompts (which you can also share).

Its sort of one of those things where I've been making tooling for myself for a while now, that all serves different purposes that are pretty handy, but translating that to other people, as well as updating based on feedback, is the next phase of work.

But thanks for the congrats and taking the time to chime in, means a lot!

I can see the potential, but I also got lost in the sidebar. The capability to include and query documents and notes is powerful and I liked the way in which you captured the summary of information. Appreciate the complementary credits because I burned a lot of them attempting to get it to do what I wanted it to. Would love some quick info around using indexes successfully, it is taking a lot of trial and error and when the AI begins to fall over itself I have to start clean, losing my cartridges. Just first experience, but I really feel that you are on-to something here. The composability is something unique.

hey CA! So I made a little click through tutorial, you definitely also shouldn't be losing the cartridges, but maybe if you're doing them on the home page? Might be something I've missed too.

This video is a bit longer but people have seemed to click with it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MM9pSd8ADuQ

maybe because it was my first draft for the 'marketing' video, but my wife was like 'you can't use any of this' - but as a walkthrough its maybe pretty legible.

Aside from that would be more than happy to jump on a call and walk through, I also feel like I'm on to something and sort of grappling through the relationships / data types, but then also the UX.

There's definitely a few tips and tricks I can give and I'd like to verify no unexpected behaviours. But also just watching someone use it / get a sense of where the friction and flow is I find very helpful.

If you're up for it, email me [e-mail], I can top up your cookie jar so to speak if the tokens are going quick, and you're really helping me out with that type of feedback.

Thanks!
