Using Dustav

Notes

The recipes, plans, and lists you make — kept somewhere you can find them.

Every other chatbot strands what you make in a transcript you'll never scroll back to. Dustav gives it a home. The dinner the kids actually ate, Saturday's practice plan, the trip itinerary, the packing list — the things you work out with the agent land in your notes, where you can find them months later instead of re-deriving them from scratch.

Saving something

You don't file anything by hand. When you make something worth keeping, Dustav writes it down — sometimes on its own ("I'll keep that in your notes"), sometimes because you ask ("save this as our camping list"). Each note has a title and a body; that's it.

Finding it again

The point is recall. Weeks later you say "what was that chicken thing?" or "pull up the camping list," and Dustav finds it and brings it back — you don't have to remember where it went. You can also browse everything in the Notes tab, which lists what you've made.

Changing a note

Notes are read-only in the viewer and edited through the agent — the same read/write split the whole product uses (see read path vs write path). Open a note, tell Dustav "tighten this up" or "add eggs to the list," and it rewrites it in place while you watch. That keeps a single, coherent version rather than a pile of near-duplicates.

Notes vs the calendar vs facts

Three homes for three kinds of thing, and Dustav routes to the right one:

  • The calendar is for anything time-bound — it has a date, and it should remind you. See the calendar.
  • Notes are for the things you make — a recipe, a plan, a list, a draft.
  • Facts are the short, durable truths about your household — names, birthdays, preferences, standing schedules — that help the agent get everything else right. See what Dustav remembers.

When something is both — a standing schedule is a fact and belongs on the calendar — Dustav does both.
