Notes
Notes is Sapience’s built-in docs, think Notion, Evernote or OneNote - but AI native.
Sapience Notes - A Better Writing Experience
Sapience Notes is Sapience’s AI-native writing experience. Think of it as a Word Processor, but with a lot of features that are only possible in an AI first world.
Note Viewer
When you click on a Note, you are taken to the Note Viewer, which is what the screenshot above shows you. This lets you quickly read the note, navigate it with the dynamic table of contents (you can move it around with the 6 dot handle) and perform common actions from the More menu, like save as PDF / Word, Favorite it, or share it.
Creating a Note
There are buttons around the interface for creating a new Note, and there is the global shortcut key Alt + N (option on Mac) and they all lead to this screen:
You can choose one of the built-in Templates for your Note (try out Voice Note!) or you can create a blank Note (the 1st option). Remember, you can save your own Templates, which will show up here, so if you have a structure / document you use again and again, its worth saving it as a Template.
Note Editor
When you click Edit on a Note that you have permissions to (you can’t edit global read-only Notes like the welcome note) then it opens the Sapience Note Editor. This is where you’re going to do a lot of work. In the screenshot below, we have created a new note using the Project Overview Template:
You are now in the editor, and it behaves like other word processors in many ways, in that you can write, create lists, put in tables and images and all of the “normal” things you’d get in Evernote, OneNote, Notion. But lets look at some of the interesting features included out of the box:
File Menu: here you can save as PDF or save as Word format.
Insert menu: what it sounds like, letting you add in more complex items. Most of these are in the toolbar.
Format Menu: dedicated formatting commands.
AI Writing: this is good stuff. There are two AI writing modes, one using Agents and one using Voice - read more below. Note that each of the AI Writing modes are also available via the blue icons in the toolbar.
Fullscreen: if you want more writing space, click the icon in the top right to get a bigger writing surface.
Writing with Agents
Click the 2nd blue icon in the toolbar, or type @ with a space in front of it and you will get the Write with Sapience AI window. This lets you select an Agent in the system, and tell it what to do, and when its done, it will put its output right into the Note so that you can further edit/tweak it. This supports all Agents you have access to as well as Modes.
