- 3Tell Notis to create a document from the ideas and context supplied with the request, using a clear date or topic title.

- 5Test with one real idea and check that the original meaning is preserved.
Questions about this workflow
Can this append to an existing idea bank?
The listed Create a File from Text action creates a new file. This workflow creates a new dated or topical note; the listed actions do not describe appending text to an existing file.
Can I send incomplete ideas?
Yes. The instruction can ask Notis to preserve rough notes and label unclear details for later follow-up.
