Do more with DATA by exploring DATA Wiki & All DATA Shortcuts Documentation
We’ve made videos that cover almost everything about how DATA is set up, I’ve collected them all in one place here. If you prefer watching to reading, watching these will give you a great overview of how DATA works.
The first 5 minutes of quick setup covers getting & installing your API key, and the second 5 minutes covers Allow All as well as how to use Hey DATA & Activate DATA to run requests & commands.
The most important thing to learn from this video is that you can say “no” any time DATA suggests running a silly command that doesn’t have to do with your request — Often GPT-3 will go in random directions before answering your questions, so it’s important to get used to deciding whether DATA is actually about to do what you asked it to do, or if you just need a reply.
Alternatively, you can turn commands completely off and just talk to DATA if you prefer not to decide on a command with every reply.
Even without commands, DATA still has your calendar, the weather, and potentially your emails if you set those up, and a lot of context on you so it’s quite useful even without any commands at all.
