4 use cases

  • Turn meeting notes into linked wiki pages

    Paste raw meeting notes and get people, projects, tasks, and decisions as cross-linked Markdown pages.

    View prompt
    Use the Aaryanverma/graybox repo to capture the notes in <notes-file> with `graybox capture`, then run `graybox organize --dry-run` and `graybox organize`. Expected output: a list of new wiki pages for people, projects, tasks, and decisions. Verify that `graybox pages` lists the pages and that each one links back to its source capture.

  • Ask questions over your notes and get cited answers

    Query everything you captured and receive an answer that cites the specific note or page it used.

    View prompt
    Use the Aaryanverma/graybox repo to answer <question> with `graybox ask`. Expected output: an answer with inline citations to wiki pages or inbox notes. Verify that every cited source exists under `graybox pages` and that the answer does not claim facts beyond those sources.

  • Keep work and personal memory in separate workspaces

    Create isolated workspaces so work and personal notes stay apart unless you search across both.

    View prompt
    Use the Aaryanverma/graybox repo to create a workspace named <workspace-name> and switch to it. Expected output: the workspace appears in `graybox workspace-list` marked as active. Verify that a page captured in one workspace does not appear in `graybox pages` after switching to the other.

  • Build a private memory for birthdays, books, and visits

    Capture personal details like birthdays, book recommendations, and doctor notes into linked pages you can search.

    View prompt
    Use the Aaryanverma/graybox repo to capture the personal notes in <notes-file> and run `graybox organize`. Expected output: wiki pages for the people, events, and topics in those notes. Verify that `graybox ask "<question>"` returns an answer that cites one of the new pages.

How to use Graybox

  1. Check you have what it needs: Python 3.10 or newer; Access to an LLM provider and its API key, set in an .env file or as GRAYBOX_LLM_API_KEY; A config.yaml based on config.example.yaml with your LLM and workspace details.
  2. Open Aaryanverma/graybox on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Install the tool with pip install graybox and set your LLM API key in an .env file or as GRAYBOX_LLM_API_KEY.
  4. Copy the config file into your working directory and update it with your LLM and workspace details.
  5. Capture the meeting notes with graybox capture "<meeting notes>". (inferred, check the README)
  6. Preview the result with graybox organize --dry-run, then run graybox organize to write the pages.

These steps come from our top use case, Turn meeting notes into linked wiki pages, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
