Tell your AI

First, look for a note called "Job hunt" in my Amber Notes with search_notes. If there isn't one, create it with create_note in the folder "Personal", using exactly the markdown at the end of this message, the <!-- pane-table --> line included (it gives the table's columns their types). Then: Use my Amber Notes note "Job hunt". When I paste a job ad or a link, add a row with log_table_row: Company, Role, Stage Saved, and the Link. When I tell you I applied or heard back, update that row's Stage and Next step with edit_note (read the note with read_note first). Before an interview, add five likely questions and my talking points under "Interview prep" with append_to_note, under a "###" heading with the company name. When I ask what's next, list the follow-ups under "This week" as a checklist.

What you'll get

The same note after a few days of talking to your AI. Tinted lines are what it added, the way Amber Notes shows an AI's changes, with Undo and the earlier version kept in the note's history.
