AI Palette

You can use Artificial Intelligence directly within Reflect to drastically improve your note-taking and writing. Think of it as a digital assistant you can call on at any time, and ask anything you think of.

Reflect’s AI tools give you the option to now use either GPT-4o (the latest model from OpenAI) or Claude 3.5 Sonnet (the latest model from Anthropic). You can toggle between these in your preferences.

How to access the AI palette

To use it, first highlight some text, and then press cmd j (or control j on Windows). That’ll popup the AI palette. You can select from one of our dozen or so prompts, like ‘list key takeaways’ or ‘list action-items’. Alternatively, you can ask AI anything you’d like without highlighting text first.

What kind of things can you do?

We provide some ready-to-go prompts that let you do things like:

Save custom prompts

You can also ask the AI palette anything you’d like using the open text field, and save it as a custom prompt to quickly call on again later.

Start by expanding an existing prompt. You will be able to see exactly how we’ve instructed the AI for that prompt, then “clone”, edit and save your new one.

You can watch a demo of how to do all of this here.

Here is what an open prompt looks like:

Untitled

The {{selectedText}} placeholder, surrounded by triple quotation marks, distinguishes your highlighted text from the prompt. Otherwise, your selected text could say 'actually don't worry about that' and it would break out of the prompt.
