These AI Prompts Just Changed How I Take Notes In Tana Forever

Using AI with my notes completely revolutionised my note-taking practice. Instead of just collecting and summarising information, I now have a thinking partner that helps me develop deeper, more original ideas. 🤖💭

In this video, I'm sharing the exact AI prompts that made this transformation possible. These are my top 5 favourite prompts that I use regularly to explore, challenge and refine the thoughts captured in my notes. If you're someone who takes notes and wants to get more value from them, these prompts will transform how you think about and develop your ideas in completely new ways.

These prompts are designed to help you:

- Get unstuck when facing a blank page

- Challenge your assumptions with targeted questions

- Distill complex thoughts into clear, actionable insights

- Transform fuzzy ideas into fully developed concepts

All these prompts work with any LLM like ChatGPT or Claude to enhance your thinking process and get more value from your note-taking system.
