Generate questions

Generate open questions the note raises with AI.

Called generate-questions in the step's YAML.

An AI action. It asks nothing in the wizard except your verdict. Optional and off by default — see AI provider setup.

Settings

  • Result property — where the result is written. Default: questions.
  • Write to — Frontmatter (a property on the note) or Context (only for the next steps). Default: Frontmatter. Either way the next steps can use it as {{<result property>}}, e.g. {{questions}}.

What it writes

A list of questions, one per line of the answer (list markers removed):

---
questions:
  - Does spaced review work for skills, not just facts?
---

A notice reports the count. If AI is turned off or not set up, the action does nothing, shows a notice and makes no network request; a provider or network failure shows a notice and writes nothing.

Nothing is written until you decide

The AI's answer is a proposal. A window shows it as Proposed text: change it if it is not right, then Accept (it reads Save my edit once you have changed it) or Reject. You can add Why (optional) and How sure are you?; both are recorded with your verdict and never written to the note. Closing the window writes nothing. AI actions never run in automations — only in a build you drive yourself.

Capabilities

Sends the note content to the single AI endpoint you configure (opt-in). No bundled key, no telemetry, no other endpoint. See Capabilities & privacy.
