Deep dives
The RTE and New Sync: Resolving Issues
The episode begins with a discussion about the real-time editing (RTE) and new sync features that were introduced in May. Initially, there were some complaints about slow loading times, particularly for notes with a long history of changes. However, the team quickly identified and addressed the underlying issues, resulting in improved performance and fewer user complaints.
Stability, Reliability, and Performance Improvements
The conversation then turns to the stability, reliability, and performance improvements made to Evernote over the summer. These enhancements focused on making the app more stable, improving note loading times, enhancing the reliability of the connection, and optimizing the desktop and mobile app navigation. Users have reported faster overall performance and an improved user experience.
AI-Powered Search: Direct Answers and Filter Search
The highlight of the podcast episode is the introduction of AI-powered search in Evernote. This feature allows users to ask direct questions and receive concise answers without the need to open entire notes. The AI model scans relevant notes to extract the necessary information and provides short and long answers. Additionally, AI-powered search supports filter-type queries, using Evernote's advanced search capabilities to provide filtered note results based on specified criteria. This feature has received positive feedback and offers a more streamlined and efficient way to search and access information in Evernote.
