AI
I added the Gemini Flash API, but keep getting the “Missing Authentication header or invalid API key” message when I try to use the new Obsidian Interpreter. As a non-developer, I have no idea what an “Authentication header” is, so I’m switching to another project to refresh my mind.
I’m having so much fun with NotebookLM lately. It behaves more like a companion AI as it uses the information and knowledge we have added to it to give the answers. I’m curious as to why there’s so little discussion about it. Anyway, there’s definitely a video coming up soon.
Because it was the first time I asked AI to create an image for a post, I didn’t know if I could simply use it. So I asked for permission 😊. By the way, I always say please and thank you when I talk to Gemini.
(…) Thank you. Can I use this image in my article?
— Yes, you can definitely use the image in your article. As an AI language model, I don’t have ownership rights over the images I generate. They are intended for your personal use. Please note that if you are using the image in a commercial context, you might want to consider adding a credit line like “Image generated by Gemini AI.” This can help clarify the image’s origin.
— Would you like me to help you with anything else?
— No. Thank you.
It’s not a commercial post, but I wanted to give credit to Gemini. That’s why you see “Image generated by Gemini AI” below the picture.
The problem with Evernote’s AI, is Evernote.
Navigating Evernote’s AI Journey: Balancing Privacy and Functionality.
Although Evernote has gradually evolved into a more collaborative space, it has been a place for personal note-taking since its inception. Furthermore, the company has consistently emphasized its privacy-first approach throughout the years.
If we compare that to how AI normally works, I believe it is a bit difficult to create an environment that will make both pro and against AI users happy and comfortable with the app experience.
An immersive AI experience like we see on Voicenotes would mean giving the Large Language Model access to all the notes and everything in our Evernote. Some people would never accept something like this, but that is precisely how to create an outstanding experience of fully interacting with our notes and all the memories and knowledge we have saved over the years.
With AudioNotes you can record & organize audio files with ease. It also transcribes on the go—even from WhatsApp audios—and creates content from your notes. But there’s more. You can set up automations to send transcriptions to other apps, like Notion. What about Evernote? Well, I’ve been exchanging some emails with the developer to help him build a thoughtful integration with the green elephant.

Looks like #Gmail just invented a time machine. I wrote “…ready for review around the 20th…” and it suggests “of July” 🤣. Jokes aside, it almost got me. For a second, I thought I was wrong about the month.
When #AI cannot even get the mouth right, why do people trust it so much?
One-Time Setup, Longtime Rewards: Evernote Advanced Search
Unlock the hidden power of Advanced Search! One simple setup can transform the way you use Evernote.
Evernote search was always excellent, but before the AI-Powered Search, the only way to go a step further was by using the Advanced Search, also known as Evernote Grammar. The simplest way to describe it is as a set of commands that we can combine with each other and type in the search box to filter notes in a very specific way.
The Grammar is so powerful that it serves as the backbone for the AI-Powered Search. When you perform an AI search, the AI first converts the information you typed into an Advanced Search syntax. That’s what is used to filter a group of notes that are sent to the large language model, which then generates the answer you end up seeing.
The commands, also known as terms, are not that difficult to understand, but some are pretty hard to memorize. Which means that with the introduction of the AI-Powered Search, there’s no point in using them for everyday searches. However, I see them as super useful for creating dynamic Saved Searches or Widgets.
I could, for example, use the codes below to create a Filtered Notes Widget on Evernote Home that would show me all notes in my ‘Creator’ notebook without the tag ‘Done’.
notebook:Creator -tag:done
If you type the above into the ‘Keywords’ box of the Filtered Notes Widget, you’ll create a dynamic group of notes. Every time you add the tag ‘Done’ to a note in the ‘Creator’ notebook, that note will automatically be removed from the widget.
There’s a series of videos I’m producing to help you understand and use the Advanced Search. You can check out the most recent one below about Reminders to understand how powerful it is. If you decide that the Advanced Search can help you create a better system for your Evernote, take a look at the other videos and have fun.
