Quick update: Ask Pocket is now smarter and more useful. It can act like a Chief of Staff + sparring partner, not just recalling what was said, but helping you think and execute.
Try prompts like:
“What do you know about me that I don’t know about myself?”
“What did we decide + what are the next steps today?”
“Pull the exact quote where we agreed on X.”
“What are the risks and open questions?”
“Write the follow-up email.”
Update the app and give it a spin, reply here with what you asked + what you expected if anything feels off.
I wondering and curious if anyone here can validate the discussion in this thread and wonder what this person shared they do is actually able to work as intended and helpful?
So many good things!. I’m not really sure what all of these things do but they seem like fascinating features. I still only use it for doctor appointments or boring things that my ADHD tunes out.
The app is too confusing for me. I constantly get pop-ups to subscribe and it’s difficult to navigate because the last time I used it, it was completely different. I don’t need pro. It took me 6 minutes to figure out how to reply. I’m a retired construction worker from 1964, lol
No, it’s me too. But I have many other problems. If the blue standby light is on for too long, pressing the button won’t start recording you have to shut it down completely and then restart. Also, quite often I can’t stop the recording with the device and have to click END on my phone.
I am a retired guy who bought three Pockets - one each for my spouse, niece and myself. My spouse works and so does my niece. Obviously the conventional intention for Pocket is for them since they work but I will tell you that it has become a useful little tool for me too.
I remain very busy despite being retired. In addition to my own personal needs that comes up, I also have the responsibility of maintaining our home which is well over 100 years old needing constant maintenance and overseeing the care of my mother who is 91 with advanced dementia along with a whole host of other medical maladies. Between my personal needs, the house and my mother’s care, there are alot of moving parts for me to keep track. Pocket has become a very useful tool for keeping it all straight and nicely summarized. I cannot claim that I have made full use of all the capabilities my little Pocket friend has but so far I am impressed. Hoping to learn more from this website and forum as I go forward about fully utilizing Pocket. I think eventually the enhanced paid service might be worthwhile. I can’t wait to give it to my niece who heads up an HR department and is outside the USA. I figure once she starts using it she can help me further my skills with using Pocket. Keep on developing this space and the usefulness of Pocket. Just wanted everyone to know that Pocket is not just for business folks and students…this older guy can attest to that first hand!
