This month’s updates brings some big changes in the UX and AI side of our product.

New Summary List Layout

We have introduced a new card-based layout for showing the summaries. It is easier and faster to use than the list and table-based format we had used until now.

Organizing into Lists

  • Clicking the card shows you a quick preview of the summary
  • Mark a summary as Important, Starred, or Archived by clicking the buttons on the card
  • See all summaries marked as Important, Starred, or Archived
  • This feature was available on our mobile apps for a while that we brought into our web app as well

Keyboard Navigation

  • Up, Down Arrow Keys move focus between the cards
  • Enter Key to show the quick preview of the card in focus.
  • Right, Left Arrow Keys move you between the pages.
  • L Key — Show the Latest items list.
  • I Key — Show the Important items list.
  • S Key — Show the Starred items list.

We have also made similar UI/UX changes to simplify making summaries and viewing the full details.

Updated AI Engine for Summarizing

We have updated the underlying AI/NLP engine to bring in the latest advances. A few exciting possibilities have emerged due to this upgrade which we will roll out in the coming weeks!

If you have any feedback or comment, please do share them here

Cheers!
