How to Organise Your Notes with GPT-4
1. Paste in?Your Unstructured Notes
Here are my notes:?"[insert notes here in quotation marks]" respond with 'ok'.
We're going to start by feeding GPT-4 our unstructured notes. If your notes are long enough—like mine—we do this by chunking them into sections.
ChatGPT has an input limit of?4,096 tokens.?1 token is approximately 4 characters or 0.75 words. This means a maximum of 3,072 words at a time.
Your output should look a little something like this. As seen above, I'll prompt ChatGPT again with:
Here are some more of my notes: "[insert more notes here in quotation marks]" respond with 'ok'.
If you still have more notes you want to be processed, you can repeat this in ~3,000-word batches. I'm yet to see how far you can push GPT-4's memory past 2 batches.
Now it's time for the fun part.
2. Write the Prompt
GPT-4 has your notes stored in its memory so it's time to pull the trigger. Here's a prompt I used for generating a memo for a startup based on lots of rough notes I've taken over the past few months.

1 年I found a really good prompt for the "organize my random thoughts into themes" suggestion you make at the end Great for summarizing meeting notes: "You are an expert in knowledge management. I am building a framework of ideas for a particular subject. Please identify themes among the notes I've given you and group them accordingly. You may use a hierarchy up to three levels, but please preserve the actual text of my notes as you group them into the framework you create. Format your response using markdown. Use headings, subheadings, bullet points, italics and bold to organize the information."
