Evernote has a great tool for transcribing videos via links. Imagine if my YouTube links could be transcribed with just one button inside note, just like attached audio and video files—wouldn’t that be great?

Hi everyone!

I’d like to share a product suggestion for Evernote (Bending Spoons): evolve the Evernote AI Assistant into a true “Jarvis” for our second brain—with faster access, more proactive help, and more “hands-on” actions, especially on mobile.

Evernote is already where many of us keep notes, references, projects, and life context. With AI, it could also become the daily entry point to execute and organize what matters.

1) A Home screen with a “My Day” button (a 10–30s daily brief)

On the home screen, add a My Day button that generates an actionable daily briefing, for example:

• Key reminders (and notes with reminders)
• Today’s tasks (including priorities and urgent items)
• Important recent notes (or “what you worked on yesterday / last 2 days”)
• Upcoming events (if calendar is connected)
• Top 3 assistant suggestions (based on what’s overdue, recurring, or critical)

Ideal format: short, actionable, with direct links to open tasks/notes.

2) A mobile widget to talk to the AI Assistant (with voice commands)

On mobile, what kills productivity is friction: open the app, find the note, type…

Suggestion: a widget with:

• A “Speak” button (voice → text)
• Quick commands (e.g., “Add task”, “Save quick note”, “Summarize my day”, “What’s pending?”)
• Results with actions (create a task, attach to the right note, suggest a tag, etc.)

The idea is for Evernote to become a fast hub: “capture, ask, organize, and execute” in seconds.

3) AI that “manages life areas” with contexts and routines

Beyond answering questions, the assistant could help manage recurring areas with smart views and checklists, for example:

Health

• Routines (e.g., workouts, exams, appointments)
• Quick logging (pain, medication, symptoms, weight, habits)
• Weekly review: “what changed / what’s still pending?”

Car maintenance

• Checklist (oil change, inspections, insurance, registration)
• Reminders by time/mileage
• History (what was done, when, cost, shop)

Professional project management

• Project brief (status, next steps, risks)
• Meetings → decisions → tasks
• “My Day for the project”: what needs to happen today to move forward

The key is the assistant working on what’s already in Evernote: notes + tasks + tags + templates + history.

4) A proactive mode (opt-in) for suggestions and follow-ups

With user permission, the assistant could:

• Flag “stuck” tasks (no progress for X days)
• Derive next actions from meeting notes
• Suggest merging duplicates / organizing tags
• Recommend reviews (weekly/monthly) per life area

All with user control (opt-in, explain “why”, and provide clear actions).

5) Why this would be a differentiator

• Evernote is already many people’s second brain.
• A real Jarvis isn’t just a chatbot: it’s fast entry + daily summary + execution.
• On mobile, this could be a game-changer (capture and action with minimal friction).

If the Evernote/Bending Spoons team is watching: it would be amazing to see something along these lines.

Thanks for reading—I’d love to hear feedback and expand the idea with your suggestions. And, yes, AI Assistant helped me writing this post!
