Shape a useful request

A strong request usually includes at least two of these details:

  • Subject: a project, customer, person, issue, or decision
  • Source: Gmail, Slack, GitHub, Calendar, a local file, or Moments
  • Time: today, this week, before a meeting, or a specific date range
  • Output: a summary, list of blockers, draft, or proposed action
Summarise the billing launch blockers from Linear and Slack since Monday.

Draft a reply to the latest Acme thread, but do not send it.

Answers and sources

Noet combines relevant context into a response and keeps the underlying sources available for inspection. Treat synthesis as a retrieval aid, not a substitute for checking the original material when the stakes are high.

Actions and confirmation

Some requests can produce a draft or propose a change in a connected service. Noet separates the proposal from execution: externally visible or destructive actions require confirmation before the tool runs.

If an action fails, Noet should report the failure rather than presenting it as completed.

Improve an incomplete answer

  1. Narrow the timeframe.
  2. Name the likely service.
  3. Use the exact project or person name.
  4. Ask for sources rather than a broader summary.
