Every single time I edit text in a slide (I'm looking at you
@google
), I think back and remember WordPerfect 5 so fondly. You could easily see the markup and insert text with the right style the first time, every time. How are things so much worse 30 years later 😭

Wired up a new post-meeting workflow: 1. Dictate notes to google docs stream-of-consciousness 2. Chatgpt + custom prompt: fix errors from context, extract TODOs, small edits for clarity Shocked how well this works for deep domain tech & biotech meetings Anyone want to try it?
