I've started using Kortex as it connects with documents and has AI built in.. paid versions have the premium ai models. It even has Zettelkasten training and my Ev flag went up 🤣
I’ve been poking around Kortex and it looks great. The only thing I couldn’t get my head around was the way it does captures. The feed style just didn’t click with my brain.
Yeah I’m just not sure about the chat style for capturing things. It felt a little too fleeting for me. And then I couldn’t promote them to documents. Just didn’t work for my workflow.
I gave Kortex a try, but it didn't really work for me. I'm deep into Notion, which keeps getting better but I feel like it could improve in connecting ideas and automatically tagging things.
I’ve been super impressed with the AI Search in Notion (the little helper at the bottom right of the screen). Whenever I need to find something fuzzy I ask it and it does a pretty good job. I wonder if it would work for finding connections between notes?
I don't think I could have completed my Ph.D. without Zettlekasten and smart notes. However, I don't use that system much in my new work (just a light version when I building large, complex courses). I have my own joyful commonplace book in Tana, that I use every day to build my ideas and make my connections. But, thank God I found Ev so I don't need to spend half my available time learning and customizing Tana's extensive abilities. I just buy practically everything she puts out. 😂
I’ve been hearing about Tana so much. I did try Kortex but I don’t like the rigid structure and have too much in obsidian.
I feel like the difference here is that a commonplace book is more focused on collecting insights and it doesn’t have as much processing and bottom up thinking that the Zettelkasten is built for.
Well said! I’ve been heading in that direction too. Phew!
New stuff? Or just stuff I missed? (Soz!) - how do these two courses fit with Tana Fast Track? Is this new stuff that TFT doesn’t cover already? I did look through and some of it seemed different/ new?

Love Kortex! Mem has been another decent one too.
I signed up for Mem.. will give it a try, thanks for sharing the info!
Haha 😜

(Windows) Alt-C bring out a floating chat that you can capture thoughts from anywhere.

Tana Capture on my phone is great, but I'm struggling to make capturing into Tana easy from my lapatop. Any clues?
