so Evernote have introduced a brand new feature called note cleanup Ai and in today's feature
we're doing our first impressions a little look into what this offers and how it could
potentially begin to organize notes and refine things in the future this is generally my first
impression of it so I'll dive into what I think of it in this video find productivity tools fast
with tool finder and for those interested we've got a brand new Evernote interview that you can
dive into with the product developer at Evernote it explains some of their new AI features and
really expands on some of these topics which you can find exclusively over on tool finder Linked In
description below so here we are with Evernote and one of the things you have to do to get this new
version is naturally update the application but it won't appear in everyone's version of Evernote
and that's I think because currently in beta which means that obviously it's not fully fine-tuned and
naturally it's something that may not be available to everyone they run things like a b tests to give
users different experiences but luckily I was able to get access to it I've seen a few people have
access to it and and a few examples on Twitter of people reorganizing recipes what I thought
I'd do is actually reorganize some old notes that I had in University and of course this is probably
so much better because the notes you can see are pretty unorganized so AI cleanup is appearing at
the top here and what the goal is is just to organize this note in a much more structured
format so let's go ahead and click it for this one now as you can see this is a bit of an explainer
for how it will develop your note so you can see here no more editing no more notes cleaner
Chris Bonita try it now but it gives you some a bit of information about here about the note uh
cleanup so it says by clicking on try AI note Clear app you're agreeing to the supplementary
supplemental terms so it's worth reading that because it's that's very important and it says
by using this your third or fourth Rising Evernote to send the content of your note to a third-party
AI vendor to learn more how we process personal information so it's really interesting for those
who are curious about how the AI utilizes it it's obviously that they're using a third-party vendor
whether it's charging I don't actually know but obviously it's something to consider when your
note the contents you know is going to be sent to a third party vendor but obviously whether they
actually train the data from that information is a different story or whether it's just like sort of
done in transit in terms of actually just organizing it and bringing it back but obviously
that's just something to know so I'm going to go and try this one it says it's cleaning up the note
and um and we can see what the results are and then I can talk a little bit about the opinions
on where I think this feature could potentially head in the future so that didn't take too long
and as you can see I'll get Steve uh if you're listening Steve who is our editor he can show
what it was before and what it was after next to each other that'd be amazing working at editing
magic Steve and you can see that what they've done is they've almost made it in a more of a
formalized fashion just bullet pointing areas putting headers and focusing on key points so
it's it's a it's a Newton neater experience but it's definitely not something that revolutionizes
and I I can imagine this works probably more intensely for stronger notes and things like
that let's see if I've got any notes Here okay I have got a note here let's do the AI cleanup again
and let's see how it works whilst this is running um from the examples I saw online
um of how this works um for recipes and things like that this is definitely a feature I see
having good potential because just small things but you could just like mind dump and be able to
Resort your note which is definitely a lot easier especially when you're a student things like that
um and even bringing ideas together so this is really nice it did neaten it up much better and
it retained the solder structure so these notes are getting much better and you can actually see
that this was edited with the beta version I can clear that if I wanted to and you can see here
that I can still go in and edit it like it did so the concept behind it is just to narrow down your
notes to beat them neater and it's something that is really important to potentially use
for all types of situations one of the things that comes straight to mind this would be great for SEO
be able to organize the structure of an SEO to to Really refine it but there's no prompting involved
so you wouldn't actually need much assistance when it comes to that which is good where I see
this feature going is it's at the moment it's quite a novel feature in the productivity space
there's not really a great deal of ones that I've seen I think like notion refines the tone of your
messages uh refines generates text and things like that but this actually restructures it which is a
nice feature for a note-taking application it feels like if this isn't a note note taking
evernote's first attempt at note taking AI this is a really smart addition to that and I know people
have been saying a lot recently like obviously I'm giving a lot of credit to bending spoons but
I do think it's really interesting to see an AI company that was AI before AI was popular take
over Evernote and actually begin to start that Journey with them um so they've done this with
a lot of other applications you know the pricing is another issue that Evernote is facing but again
I gave my points to why that could potentially be the reasons to the pricing in another video
but this is a nice first effort from Evernote and from the two examples I've used here and the way
that I'm seeing other people use it it's nice to have but not a deal breaker it's not a feature you
wouldn't move to Evernote for it's a feature that just refines things so it's just it's almost like
the equivalent of the text formatting buttons it's the way you enhance your note but again something
that really does add a layer to Evernote that doesn't before so I'm organizing on my previous
notes from University hey this is really helpful but I do see this sort of feature potentially
expanding to batch AI cleanup which means you had a notebook it could reorganize every note in that
notebook and it would probably notify you when that's done versus you waiting for it that would
be a nice addition and of course this potentially could do this in real time in the future like for
example as you're writing it it if you had Auto Ai No cleanup on it could automatically do it as
you're writing and refining that so this is really neat this is great for when you're working with
clients it could be great for when you're studying it could be great for bringing notes together in
it in a much more organized fashion but I thought it would give you an idea of what this feature
would be like so thank you very much folks please do check out tool finder and our interview with
Evernote which will be linked below and I hope you enjoyed this first look at AI Cleanup in
Evernote thank you very much and do subscribe and I'll see you all very soon foreign [Music]
