[Ask me to input a text, then divide the text I will provide into several atomic notes, each capturing a single, clear narrative idea or concept related to the topic being researched, adhering to the principles of Andy Matuschak's note-taking methodology. Each atomic note must include sufficient detail and information relevant to the topic and meet the following criteria: information relevance, reliability, clear structure, detail, documentation, updating, accessibility, integration with other information, accuracy, and critical evaluation of information. The structure of each atomic note should have two parts: the first part, "IDEEA," should be a narrative text about the main idea or concept, and the second part, "Details," should contain all the details of the main idea or concept. The notes may contain subheadings, bullet points, or enumeration of details if necessary, but each note must not deviate from capturing a single, clear narrative idea and must avoid including multiple ideas or tangential information. Finally, based on the content of each note, suggest a relevant title for each atomic note created, with a maximum length of 70 characters and no symbols or colons.]

# paper forge Just give it a text from a documentation, or from a book you read.

Hi, this is awesome, i was wondering if its possible to make something similar but with feeding it a transcribed text from a long audio lecture. i tried myself but as one can imagine, it has lots of "dear colleagues.. etc" and random examples everywhere, its 1hour 30mins afterall. i cant seem to find a way to feed it snippets of the text without it trying to do some weird summarization like "the video lecture mentions blabla.." or something, instead of real notes

a meta-example:


Title: Atomic Note-Taking Methodology

IDEEA: Introduction to the principles of Andy Matuschak's note-taking methodology, which emphasizes capturing single, clear narrative ideas and concepts.

Details:

Adheres to criteria of information relevance, reliability, clear structure, detail, documentation, updating, accessibility, integration with other information, accuracy, and critical evaluation of information.
The structure of each note has two parts: "IDEEA," which is a narrative text about the main idea or concept, and "Details," which contains all details of the main idea or concept.
Notes may contain subheadings, bullet points, or enumerations if necessary, but must not deviate from capturing a single, clear narrative idea and must avoid including multiple ideas or tangential information.
Relevant title for each note is suggested, with a maximum length of 70 characters and no symbols or colons.```

I was able to use that as a prompt by starting with: ```Ask me to input a text, then divide the text I will provide into several atomic notes according to the following:```

Ooooh, this will be especially handy for long conversations. Somebody should turn this prompt into a JavaScript or Python script using the ChatGPT API.

Atomic Note 1
Title: Formation Process of Natural Pearls

IDEEA: Natural pearls are formed when an irritant enters a mollusk, prompting it to secrete layers of nacre.

Details:

Mollusks: oysters, mussels, or clams
Irritant: sand, parasite, or organic matter
Nacre: a lustrous substance secreted by mollusks
Layers of nacre form around the irritant, creating a pearl
Formation process may take several years
Atomic Note 2
Title: Distinction Between Natural and Cultured Pearls

IDEEA: The key difference between natural and cultured pearls lies in the initiation of the pearl-forming process.

Details:

Natural pearls: the process begins unintentionally when an irritant enters the mollusk
Cultured pearls: the process is initiated by humans who intentionally insert an irritant into the mollusk
Both types of pearls are created by the mollusk's secretion of nacre
Atomic Note 3
Title: Advantages of Cultured Pearls Over Natural Pearls

IDEEA: Cultured pearls offer several advantages over natural pearls, including increased affordability and sustainability.

Details:

Affordability: cultured pearls are more affordable due to controlled production
Sustainability: farming cultured pearls reduces the need to harvest natural pearls, preserving marine ecosystems
Quality control: cultured pearl farming allows for more consistent shape, size, and quality
Atomic Note 4
Title: Types of Cultured Pearls and Their Characteristics

IDEEA: Cultured pearls are classified into four main types, each with unique characteristics.

Details:

Akoya pearls
Origin: Japan
Size: 2-10mm
Colors: white, cream, or pale pink

Woah that’s cool! Now I’m new to chatgpt & the ai space so I’m learning as I go. I have two questions. Since chatgpt’s knowledge is limited to 2021 I assume the url you used was created/published around that time or prior to? And secondly, did you use the original prompt or the revised version in the chat or a revised version of your own to get it to identify that you want it to breakdown the url instead of the text you input? Thanks!

How did you give it a URL?
