Connect my things the easy way

You do not need a technician. Almost anything on your phone or on paper can reach your assistant in one of three ways: a photo, a file, or a link. A few things connect for good from your private page: your calendar, TickTick and your own AI account.

Pick what you want it to see

What to text

• Here is a screenshot of my calendar. What do I have tomorrow?

  Copy

• Here is a photo of a bill. What is it for and when is it due?

  Copy

• I uploaded a file to my files page. Read it and tell me what is in it.

  Copy

• Here is a link. Read the page and tell me the important part.

  Copy

• I want you to see my (calendar, steps, bank statement). What is the easiest way?

  Copy

Four ways, easiest first

1. A photo or screenshot. If you can see it, your assistant can read it. Take a picture of the paper, or a screenshot of the screen, and text it. This works for calendars, bills, letters, receipts, lists, labels and apps.
2. A file. For bigger things, like a month of bank activity. Text /home to open your files page, upload the file, then tell your assistant it is there.
3. A link. For something on a website. Copy the link and paste it in a text.
4. A connection, for a few things. Your calendar, TickTick and your own AI key connect once from the Connections tab on your private page. Text "Send me my private page" to get there. You enter the link or key on that page, never in a text. If you paste one in chat, your assistant will not take it.
5. Cover what is private before you send: account numbers, card numbers, Social Security numbers. A sticky note works.
6. Not sure which way to use? Ask: "What is the easiest way to show you my calendar?"

What do you want it to see?

1. My calendar. A screenshot of the day or week, or connect it once.
2. My steps, sleep or health numbers. A screenshot of the Health app.
3. My spending. A statement file, or a photo with the numbers covered.
4. A bill or a letter. One clear photo.
5. My to-do list. A screenshot, just type it, or connect TickTick.
6. My receipts. A photo of each one.

Example conversation

Make it stick

• Start with photos. Most people never need anything else.
• If someone tells you this needs a complicated setup, ask your assistant first.
