I finally started working with creating an AI Prompt, using it with Grammarly, and while it is very promising, it lacks one important feature that I utilize a great deal: it does not include Notes.
I use Notes extensively to tell the stories of my family. In the most extreme case, one ancestor takes half a page of the Narrative report when NOT including notes, and slightly less than 3½ pages when checking the box to include them. Narratives of ancestors with much less extreme Note usage are usually double the size when Notes are included, as compared to when not including.
I like the way that AI prompts organize the story, but they miss a lot of information without the Notes. I have little experience with AI prompts, so my question is: Can we add data from Notes into the AI prompt?
Thank you. As a followup, I tested with one ancestor with a number of notes and I do have a workaround until such time as notes are added to the prompts by the software.
I will still have to work through it and humanize much of its language, but it’s an excellent start.
That said for right now, you could build the prompt and run it with Grammarly and then ask AI to incorporate the notes and give them a copy of the notes-- I tried it with Co-Pilot and it worked BUT Co-Pilot summarized the notes–so for example I had a newspaper story where my grandma at abt age 17 was going home from work one night and a man grabbed her–put his hand over her mouth–had a gun pointed at her head and said don’t scream or I’ll shot–well grandma was always scrappy as hell and quite a character, so she bit his finger and screamed–he fled as others came to her aid-- well AI reduced it to abt 3 lines which doesn’t quite give you the idea of how serious the situation was.
Perhaps you could ask that the notes be included as written…
I’m like you as I have many notes on almost everyone I’ve researched ranging from at least 3 pages up to abt 10 pages for my Dad’s cousin who was murdered by his German War Bride–all of which was gleaned from newspaper accounts of the murder, manhunt, trial and their courtship and marriage as well as her earlier childhood–I’m sure AI could clean it up BUT afraid I would lose more info doing it that way…
Question: Are the AI prompts that we create saved anywhere? They are still there in RMG, but I don’t know how or where they are saved. Are they otherwise invisible to us?
I’ll have to figure a way to save the notes that I would add to the finished prompt, so won’t have to look them up in case I make changes.
At the moment, I’m working on testing what kind of reports the different roles, tasks, and audiences create, and I’d like to see what the notes do for each (Grammarly does not repeat notes verbatim). Right now, RMG’s narrative report is better than what Grammarly creates from the same material.
Full disclosure: I am using the free version of Grammarly. I want to learn how things work before having to buy one. After I’ve reached that plateau, I will need to get an idea of which AI is best for the money (and I’d like to find something I can buy rather than have to pay a yearly subscription).
