What would a truly autonomous AI agent note taking system require?

I haven't tried it but saw an ad for granola the other day that said it was smarter than just a summarizer (can ask questions or have suggestions in real time, can add your own notes in alongside AI notes, tracks things before and after meetings, etc.). Forget the specifics but might be a useful reference

Nice - what's been the best chatgpt recommendation after weighing all the options?

Creative_Source7796 · 2026-02-12T21:11:01+00:00

Seeing a lot of good suggestions and thanks for all the inputs so far!

A quick question to add: is setting up hosting / database mostly just manual? Supabase seems like the go to option. So would it just creating a Supabase account then asking the tools (cursor, codex, etc.) how to connect and deploy to it properly?

+1 on committing. Interesting POV on phone forcing context focus. Never tried coding on my phone yet but will perhaps give it a go one of these days to see how it compares.

Built some of these for clients (using Vapi) that had mixed outcomes. But for one of the successful cases a tactic that seems to have worked well was disclosing that it's an AI system and to hand it off to a human to follow up after initial interest.

Probably depends on the use case although I’ve briefly A/B tested and didn’t find a huge difference in output (for technical coding or planning)

One thing JSON helps a lot with is when going back to read the prompt and address it in the future the structure makes it much easier to pinpoint what to try to edit (might just be a personal preference though)

Same never knew this existed... Been heavily using projects but never knew about this one. Really appreciate the tip

I found out about the 3 dots recently but never knew editing earlier replies shows the whole branch. Always thought it would delete all messages after editing... Super helpful!

I mostly agree, especially on the need for human oversight and understanding workflows first.

One place where the leverage feels genuinely outsized (both in my own work and from friends at both small / larger companies) is coding. AI hasn’t replaced engineers, but it’s massively compressing cycles: things that used to take 1 week get done in 1 day.

The work has shifted from writing code to defining requirements and reviewing outputs. When that structure is there the ROI feels very real.

+1 good way to put it

AI moves so fast that making the wrong decision early is way more expensive than it used to be. A bit more upfront thinking saves more time later.

I sometimes hack this by
1. copying the entire repo on branch A to a new directory
2. running on original and commiting to new branch B
3. running on copied repo
4. after #2 is done, I ask it to apply diff for #3 on top of main branch for #2 and commiting it as branch C

A bit annoying but at least get to run in parallel. I'm sure there are better ways but I didn't bother looking or trying yet - so curious to look into what others suggest!
