The AI fixed my scanner so it scans straight into Apple Notes

He replaced Evernote with Apple Notes. The one thing in the way was his old document scanner, which would not scan straight into Notes, and the AI solved that problem fairly quickly.

How it works

  1. He tells the AI the scanner will not scan into Apple Notes
  2. The AI works out the setup
  3. The scanner sends scans straight to Notes

Why it’s worth knowing

His old scanner would not send scans to Apple Notes at all, which was the only thing stopping him from dropping Evernote. The AI worked the setup out.
