Diary and Weekly Note Generation
Diaries and weekly notes don’t have to start from a blank page. You can write a single honest thought, or let AI organize a version based on prompts, then put the useful parts back into Granoflow.
A common misunderstanding: prompts are not template forms. They simply tell AI how to structure material; what you finally save is still up to you.
Two Generation Methods
Section titled “Two Generation Methods”| Method | When to Use | What to Note | | --- | --- | --- | | Handwrite directly | When you only want to leave a few authentic records | Doesn’t need to be complete or answer every question | | Use AI prompts | When you want to organize scattered notes into a diary or weekly note | Review the content first, then copy back to Granoflow |
How to Generate Daily Records
Section titled “How to Generate Daily Records”The diary template settings affect how AI organizes daily records. It works best for stable requirements like “First summarize what got done today, then write tomorrow’s first step.” Don’t turn it into a long review checklist; the closer the diary is to actual daily material, the easier it will be to understand later.
Daily records can be edited and saved at any time. Today, yesterday, or even older dates can be reorganized. Saving only saves the current version—it doesn’t lock the record.
How to Generate Weekly Summaries
Section titled “How to Generate Weekly Summaries”Weekly note templates are better for spotting patterns. For example, which tasks repeated this week, which arrangements made progress smoother, and which commitments actually exceeded current time.
Weekly note prompts only affect how the AI assistant organizes content—they won’t automatically rewrite an already saved weekly summary. After generation, you should still delete inaccurate parts and keep only the judgments that can guide next week’s planning.
A Real Scenario
Section titled “A Real Scenario”You’ve been working on manual screenshots all week. Daily records are very short: sometimes “complete retrospective screenshot,” sometimes “fix collection box seed.” Writing a weekly summary directly might feel too scattered.
In this case, hand over several days of records to AI for organization, and let it first group them into three categories: screenshot preparation, failure reasons, and chapters to complete next week. Then you save only the accurate parts as your weekly summary.
Where to Set AI Preferences
Section titled “Where to Set AI Preferences”If you want AI’s organization style to be more consistent, go to Membership Settings > AI Research Preferences to maintain a unified preference. It influences the analytical approach of AI‑assisted features such as diaries, weekly notes, AI rewriting, values, and work/study daily reports.
AI Research Preferences do not expose system prompts, import formats, or JSON structure editing. They are more like writing directions, not underlying rule toggles.
What to Check Before and After Use
Section titled “What to Check Before and After Use”| Check Point | Why It Matters | | --- | --- | | Are there tasks that never happened? | AI might over‑interpret vague material | | Are suggestions presented as conclusions? | A review should preserve your judgment space | | Does it look too much like a formal report? | Diaries and weekly notes are for yourself—no need to sound like a presentation | | Is there a next step? | A summary without a next step quickly becomes an archive |
