We're doing a few things to try to guide the user:
1. We include ~26 fully-formed "Example" and "Template" notes in the app - these are intended to show users what they can do, but they can also be copied and used as-is or edited.
2. When users write new notes, we use a custom keyboard tool called "AutoPrompt" to show the user what actions they can take in each section. It includes prompts like "Search reddit for...", etc. that is inserted into the text entry and the user completes the statement. (You can see this in the vid on our home page).
3. If users write incorrect or wrong things in the note, they get a response back that instructs them what they need to correct.
Admittedly, as a notes-based interface there's a tradeoff we're trying to balance on flexibility vis-a-vis unstructured text input, and guardrails to inform the user. Appreciate any further feedback you can share!
If you highlight the actions in the text with something like a differnet background color, it would be clear what it will trigger and over time the user would remember these actions. It would also be clearer to see them in predefined notes.
That sounds useful for someone who already signed up, but I’d rather read them before signing up or installing anything. The documentation is how I decide if it’s worth looking further.
(I also don’t play videos or animations, and try to ignore them if they autoplay. They are usually too fast or too slow. A slideshow that you step through is okay.)
I just wanted to add that this information would be useful to me too, and I did watch the video. Also, I would be curious to know what integrations you already have and plan to add.
