Commentarii Roamani: Roam Live Ai
|
Commentarii Roamani This issue focuses on the Live AI extension, which integrates advanced language models directly into your graph, enabling you to harness the power of AI without ever leaving Roam.
The AI extension for Roam: Live AISetting it upTo install an extension, go to the left sidebar, and open Roam Depot. Search for the Live AI extension by Fabrice Gallet and click Install. This extension comes with an extensive, detailed, awesome description from its creator. How it worksThe first thing you should do after installing it is get an API key from OpenAI, Anthropic, or another provider. Simply follow the links given in the extension description and you'll be all set to start exploring. There are many other settings, but don't worry about those for now (unless you want to 🤷♀️). Now Live AI will appear in your sidebar: Start here!There is so much to explore in this extension, so we recommend starting with these four functions (which we will explore in more depth in the following issues). 1. Voice Transcribing Dictate your thoughts directly into Roam, and let AI transcribe them in real time. It’s the fastest way to capture fleeting ideas before they disappear. Ideal for stream-of-consciousness thinking, meeting or lecture notes, hands-free journaling, and even translating!
2. Ask AI This command sends the focused or selected blocks as a prompt to the default model. The response is added directly to your graph as child blocks, making it the quickest way to ask the AI anything. 3. Ask Your Graph Agent This agent performs semantic search and reasoning across your entire Roam graph. It interprets natural-language queries, retrieves relevant blocks and pages, and lets you view, filter, or even chat with the results. You can choose from three privacy modes (private, balanced, or full) to control how much of your graph is sent to the language model. Ask questions across your entire graph and receive synthesized answers based on your own notes, links, and pages. Here's an example of playing around with references to a page:
4. Outliner Agent This agent modifies existing outlines directly. It can add, remove, or edit specific blocks inside a defined structure. These are the basics of the amazing Live AI extension. Explore with it more until the next issue where we will walk through more features in more detail.
