Tell your AI

First, look for a note called "1:1 notes" in my Amber Notes with search_notes. If there isn't one, create it with create_note in the folder "Work", 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 "1:1 notes". During the week, when I mention something to bring up, add it under "Next time" as a bullet with append_to_note. After the 1:1, I'll tell you how it went. Add a section at the start of "Past 1:1s" with append_to_note (at_start): a "###" heading with the date, what we talked about, and how they seemed. Add anything either of us promised under "Follow-ups" as a checklist line, then remove the topics we covered from "Next time" with edit_note.

Paste it into a chat in ChatGPT with Amber Notes turned on. That chat keeps it; paste it again when you start a new one.

Then just talk to it

  • For my next 1:1: ask how the on-call week went.
  • We just had our 1:1. She wants to lead the next launch and asked for a mentor.
  • What did I promise last time?

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.
