so Evernote have been busy bees over the last couple of months getting acquired a few recent
updates it's good to see them starting to fall into a exciting New World versus maybe just sort
of surviving which they've been doing for the last couple of years so today's video we're
going to go over what's next for Evernote talking about some of their recent updates talking about
what their vision is with their new partners and what their new partners their new acquisition
buyers bending spoons will bring to the table and where I personally think it will go so for
those who do not know bending spoons and Italian app development company have purchased Evernote
in the last two months now it's been two months wow almost three probably and what they've done
is they've just acquired the company as a whole aiming to make their development their experience
with applications the way forward for Evernote they've stated two core things in this that
they're keen on naturally while the ownership Changing Hands their commitment is keeping your
data safe and secure remains as steadfast as ever so they're going to be protecting
all that's already there with Evernote which is a good news not that you'd expect that but if
they had a very vague statement like we're going we're seeing where we are heading with Evernote
that doesn't fill you with any sort of sense of okay it's going to be here in a year's time so
let's first look at some more of their recent updates they've released three updates and I
think are definitely worth the attention purely because they're smaller but definitely move the
platform forward in the right direction and those are the tasks in Web Clipper you can now capture
tasks while you're in Web Clipper web clip is one of the best in class for a note-taking application
even now it's quality and it's well produced and they've added tasks to it which suggested
further extends The Experience next is backlinks inside of Evernote which is great news because
a lot of people wanted backlinks for a long time although I believe the new backlinks function is
locked under premium or certain amount is not fully sure but I saw a couple people tweeting
about it but Bank lengths are well accepted experience in Evernote and finally probably
one of the things that I'd expected to be there in a long time is to copy paste a link an Evernote
and actually it embed and populate inside of the Evernote note that you're pasting it in which is
a nice addition because you can start linking notes up in a bit more of an easier fashion but
these three updates definitely enhance experience show that Evernote is still continuing to develop
or at least getting their previous development cycle out of the way but let's take a look at
the vision that they state that they share with Evernote so they say together we share a vision
for Evernote as a powerful intuitive extension of your brain now that's a really interesting vision
the main reason why I'm so interested in is because it states powerful and intuitive and brain
the the reason I like this is because powerful is something that you would it you would assume
is something to do with artificial intelligence because it's going further and it's going stronger
and seeing that the app development history has been better we'll talk about that in a moment
an extension of your brain feels like that is what evidence doing it always previously was to
remember everything but extension of your brain feels very well fitting I feel like this is a
good vision statement and they share with Evernote and they've made it clear from day one so that's
very exciting so where do we think bending spoons is going to take this Venture bending spoons have
been developing applications for a while I saw a photo on Twitter with Tim Cook in their office
they seem very popular as quality app developers and apparently they have over 100 million uh users
of their apps monthly and obviously that will grow with evidence acquisition but they have
been building quality applications in terms of of its function and with artificial intelligence
they have apps like remedy and splice which are high performing applications and highly rated
applications by the community now they do have and they do state they have a wide range of propriety
Technologies and I believe that Evernote will be very much mobile first in near future I think it
will probably break into three core areas of development the first will be utilizing
what's in the Evernote backlog and that's a good thing the first thing you want to do is be able
to take advantage of propriety Technologies and combine them with things you already have
and that's a good thing because a lot of people have a long history in Evernote 10 years maybe
you might be one of them at home and of course that can be really utilized taking all of that
good data history knowledge and bringing it and resurfacing it using some of the AI Technologies
so for example imagine if you used to take loads of photos of cars in different areas
because you're a car salesman maybe that is something that the Evernote experience can
resurface or maybe even categorize and present useful insights and data around
so that's where I think a lot of the insights are going to be bringing that previous history
together the second thing I think will be a popular in development for Evernote will be
the home experience home is actually a very underrated feature inside of Evernote a lot
of other applications don't tend to have this you can make your home in some applications but
they don't have a home page somewhere where you can go to and be able to see all of the
notes that are so populating but I think a living and breathing homepage for Evernote will actually
be something very exciting imagine you're going to the airport suddenly something pops up your
email on your flight ticket it's and it's all on Evernote home ever at home becomes
this living the breathing opportunity to find all of the stuff that you need which I think is
a good bet for Evernote and the third piece of the puzzle that I personally think it will be
with Integrations you mentioned I mentioned that that Evernote is that home experience
could be connected to your email and I believe that them having more Integrations will make the
Evernote experience 2x the reason why is because imagine you've got all of your historic notes in
Evernote then you combine it with your current pulse of information maybe you haven't used it in
three years so there will be a small Gap but the pulse of information that comes in from different
platforms and maybe email calendar and all these different types they're going to enhance that that
will breathe life into the home area and the other experience the insights will breathe life into the
home area too so I think Evernote is actually in a very good position with their acquisition bending
spoons seems to be proven app expertise what they actually say on their website proven expertise
but something that I definitely think is really interesting and attractive for evernote's future
so that is something that I think you should be excited about as an internet user naturally
always cautious with these companies It's always important to be cautious with companies
um and so um goes with that if you are an Evernote user I want to pick your brains today I'm doing a
little form that will be linked below because in the near future maybe in a couple of weeks couple
of months I'm not sure I probably will have a good chance of speaking with the new Evernote creators
might have net creators Evernote acquirers bending spoons and I'd love to field your comments to them
so feel free to add them in the form below and we can share them and ask them directly with their
team but of course um we you know it's being able to make sure that we get that interview
so we'll work hard to do that and if you pop them below we'll be ready with them when we're
ready to go anyway folks a big big thank you what's your predictions for the next Evernote
um or the next Evernote Evolution as time goes on I've been really great to hear so do pop it
in the comments below thank you very much folks I look forward to diving into more of
these topics in the future please do subscribe to keep productive if you're new my name is Francesca
