We are working on the next two major versions now. They are related to some extent.

First off the blocks, in the next couple of months, is Agenda 19. That is all about much nicer Search. It’s looking really good. You can also make very powerful overviews with it, which allows for quite advanced systems to be used.

Beyond that, later this year, Agenda 20 will concentrate on paragraph level things. Eg. collapsing of paragraphs, and filtering of paragraphs so you see “summarized” views of notes. That’s still a way off though.

That’s great to hear! It sounds like a really nice plan. Can’t wait!

Don’t forget to leave room in your development schedule for the inevitable interruption that is due to happen from whatever AI strategy Apple drops.

We always leave the summer for our post-WWDC work, with a release in September. No need to worry. :slight_smile:

That’s a feature I expect too. We talked about note embedding before, it is a welcome idea, if the development of more paragraph view options allow that to happen

Just checking if we will see any updates in regards to LLM support :slight_smile:

Agenda should support Apple Intelligence already. We added integration a few months ago, though some aspects are difficult for us to test here in Europe.

Let us know what you are missing. Eg. what does Apple Intelligence not have that you want.

Maybe asking specifically for Apple Intelligence was the wrong way to frame it…

But I’d love too

  • be able to get transcription and summaries for audio notes
  • Summaries across multiple notes - eg across a whole project or notes created in a specific date range
  • Suggestions for reminders would be cool too.

#2 is probably actually my biggest one… but the rest would be really useful for me.

I see. Thanks for the feedback. Very useful.

We don’t have much support at all for audio at the moment. Would be good to improve that. For now, I recommend tools like MacWhisper to transcribe.

Summaries would be nice, for sure. We do have to think about cost. Uploading a whole project to ChatGPT would cost a lot, for example, and also not be great for privacy reasons. Our best bet is probably to wait and hope that apple expose their local chat engine to 3rd parties next year. That will allow us to feed in the data we want.

Thanks again!

OK cool. For transcription, I have seen some apps use the free ChatGPT plan and allow users to bring their own Pro license via API key. That could be an interesting approach

16

Yeah, there are more “pro” apps that do this. To me it is more for a small percentage of super users. I would prefer we had something that didn’t require extra payment, and that everyone could take advantage of. Our app is very much a consumer app, as opposed to say MacWhisper, which leans more to the power user.

Is there any ETA for Agenda 12? And is it possible for you to name some new features, so that we know what we are going to get excited about :slight_smile:

Agenda 20 is currently in beta testing. The most important new features are…

  1. Folding of content, ie, hiding nested lists, folding sections with headings. It is similar to collapsing a note, but you can do it on parts of a note.
  2. Text content filtering. Eg. you could apply a filter to just see the unchecked list items. You can combine as many of these filters as you like for each project and overview, to show customized views of your note content.

You mention text content filtering. Will this give us the ability to show a list of sentences/paragraphs that are tagged without showing the entire note that the tag is in? I am trying to reproduce what I built previously in Obsidian where I make lists of tags and it only shows the tagged items. This is great when I make checklists or thoughts in a daily note and it pulls each into areas like Open, Assigned, Review, In Progress, etc. I haven’t found a way to do this in 19. Great work on Agenda! I’m working on replacing my other workflows with this.

Yes, you can built text filters that show text with any tag at all, or with specific tags. So I think it is what you need.
