Features

​
Text Logging

Send plain text messages to log entries. Peanuts uses a 4-tier matching system:
  1. Affinity - Learned patterns from your previous messages (0 credits)
  2. Local Matching - Keyword and field detection (0 credits)
  3. AI Parse - Smart intent understanding (1 credit)
  4. Fallback - Saves to Shoebox if no match found

​
Smart Clarification

When Peanuts isn’t 100% sure where to save your message, it asks: Medium confidence (multiple possible helpers): 
🤔 I think this goes to *Sleep Tracker 😴*

"slept 8 hours"

Reply:
1️⃣ Yes, save here
2️⃣ Choose different helper
3️⃣ Cancel
Low confidence (unclear intent): 
📝 Where should I save this?

"slept 8 hours"

Reply with a number:
1️⃣ Sleep Tracker 😴
2️⃣ Daily Checkin ✅
3️⃣ Wellness Log 💚
4️⃣ Cancel
Just reply with a number (1, 2, 3, etc.) to confirm your choice.

​
Affinity Learning

When you confirm a helper choice, Peanuts learns your preference. Next time you send a similar message, it routes automatically without asking. Share URLs to automatically extract structured data:
  • Recipe links → Recipe helper with ingredients, instructions
  • Product links → Wishlist with price, description
  • Article links → Reading list with summary
Links are pre-analyzed to detect content type before using AI, saving credits when possible.

​
Voice Notes

Send voice messages for hands-free logging:
  • Transcription costs 8 credits
  • Transcribed text routes through the 4-tier matching system
  • Matched to the right helper automatically

​
Photo Capture

Send photos for Smart Scan analysis:
  • Receipts → Extracted and logged with amounts
  • Documents → Analyzed and saved
  • Plants, food, products → Identified and categorized
  • Costs 5 credits per image

​
Helper Creation via Chat

Create new helpers conversationally:
  • “I need a tracker for my water intake”
  • “Create a helper for logging client meetings”
Peanuts designs the helper and asks for confirmation. Reply yes to create it instantly.

Tips

  2. Use consistent patterns - Helps the affinity system learn your style
  3. Check credits first - Send “credits” before heavy usage
  4. Voice for speed - Voice notes are great for detailed entries on the go
  5. Confirm to learn - When asked to confirm, doing so teaches Peanuts your preferences
