Card Notes

Outline-Style Notes

Knowledge should have structure, so Miremo uses outlines to organize card notes.

Each line represents a key point, an independent thought.

Additionally, the outline format allows you to adjust the indentation of each line to better reflect the hierarchical relationships between note contents.

First, if you're recording casual thoughts, there may not be any hierarchical relationships. You can record all content at the first level. In this case, outline notes are no different from regular notes:

Card note without outline hierarchy
Notes without outline hierarchy, suitable for recording random thoughts

Furthermore, if the knowledge you're recording has structure, you can use indentation to reflect the relationships between ideas, for example:

Notes with hierarchical structure
Notes with hierarchical recording, suitable for recording more systematic knowledge

You can adopt either approach.

Inserting Supertags in Notes

Miremo is a tool for organizing knowledge based on supertags. At the same time, AI will organize your notes according to your supertags.

Generally speaking, recording a single card note always has a motivation. This motivation is the basic way you organize supertags.

For example, if a note is related to reading a book, then mark the book at the top or bottom of the card:

Card note for reading notes
Card note marking a book

Similarly:

  • If it's daily thoughts, you can use #daily-thoughts as a tag.
  • If it's project-related, you can insert #project/Miremo as a tag.

A single card note should contain at least one tag, otherwise Miremo won't properly index the note, and AI won't know how to organize it.

Conversely, there shouldn't be too many tags. For a card with 100-400 words, having 3-5 tags is most appropriate.

Note Assistant

The note assistant is a powerful AI feature in Miremo.

It can do three things:

  1. Read the note you're editing and uploaded attachments
  2. Search for related content across all your notes
  3. Modify your notes

It's also very simple to use. Just click the button at the bottom left of the card and enter what you want to do.

The note assistant uses Agent technology. It can try to understand your intent and call tools to search your notes and read your supertags and the relationship network between tags.

I've summarized several usage methods for your reference:

Text processing and polishing:

"Please help me polish and modify my notes in the tone of xxx"

Content supplementation and continuation:

"Please help me supplement more content about xxx based on all my notes"

Adding and modifying tags:

"Pick some supertags from my existing tags and annotate them in the current note"

Providing inspiration:

"Please give me some insights and inspiration about xxx based on all my note content"

Of course, you can also try different instructions and usages according to your own needs.

Using Attachments

When writing card notes, you can add attachments to each note. Attachments can be images, documents, etc.

All uploaded attachments, if they are document types (such as PDF, Word, PPT, Markdown), will be saved to Miremo's knowledge base as "reference materials" for AI retrieval.

After uploading attachments, the note assistant can also answer questions based on file content

Keep Thinking

Always remember that card notes should always be your own understanding. So most of the content should be written by you personally.

This is very important because I've always held a belief: "Tools can never replace thinking."

Whether it's AI or card notes, they are just tools. If you rely solely on tools, you cannot achieve the purpose of thinking.

If that happens, Miremo loses its meaning of existence.

Therefore, you should write notes yourself as much as possible.
