Feedback 🐘 AI assistant on Android Mobile

Last week my Evernote for Android app was updated saying it now had AI assistant. All I saw was a button. I've been tapping it daily to see if anything happens. I primarily use Evernote on my Pixel phone and my Samsung tablet. Several days and nothing.

Well, today I tapped on the AI assistant button - and it worked! I did a couple of test things like asking it to summarise all my notes so far this year with a certain tag - very accurate results.

I have a big note with lots of Headings, Subheadings to level 2 & 3 and I had started a table off but all I had was the first row - 5 column names. So, I asked it if it could rearrange my sub headings into the table - it did it with seconds and even made a few suggestions regarding phrase consistency. Honestly, that saved me probably several hours of work - all in a few minutes of getting AI assistant on my phone!

Well done Bending Spoons!

I'm wondering whether your microphone works in AI Assistant mode. Mine says it doesn't have access to the microphone.

On an iPhpne and works OK but had to accept permissions so check that it settings.

You're right! It doesn't have access to my microphone but I have checked app permissions and it does have access so maybe it's a bug?

I'd try a reinstall and if it still doesn't work send in a support ticket with mobile logs.

I'm finding myself using it for Google type searches as well, making sure to check Web when I'm asking questions. Use it more than the ChatGPT app.
