What it does
The Notes skill gives sideBar full access to your notes library from Chat. You can ask sideBar to create notes, read or update existing ones, organise them into folders, and manage the Scratchpad. sideBar can also work with your notes as context, drafting new content, summarising, or cross-referencing with other things you have saved.Actions
