Ideas and Discover

Ideas and Discover are separate surfaces beside Settings in the notch. Ideas suggests useful things Nock could do for you. Discover collects short posts on topics you choose, with links to their sources. They are separate from Tasks, which records work already started.

Ideas: choose something to do

Open Ideas to review suggestions grouped by purpose. Select an idea to see what it involves, then choose Do it. Depending on your plan and available tools, Nock may start background work or put the request in its chat. If it starts a task, the idea’s status changes as it runs; choose See result to review the completed work in Tasks.

Choose Later to keep an idea for another time or Not for me to remove it and ask Nock for fewer suggestions like it. Use Teach Nock to describe the kinds of help you want. On the first day, Ideas may show ready-made suggestions while Nock learns what is useful.

See why an idea or post appeared

Open Why this idea or Why I wrote this to see the saved reason, where it came from, and any sources. An idea’s You get section describes its intended result. Older items may not have a saved reason; that is different from proof that Nock inspected your private work.

On voice paths with the Ideas tools available, ask “why did you suggest the launch checklist?” or “where did that idea go?” and name the item. Nock uses the saved reason or retirement record, not a newly invented explanation. Old suggestions can retire as new work is completed or saved items age; an idea leaving the list is not the same as deleting its task result.

Discover: read and tune your feed

Discover shows short posts with source links and, when available, a picture. Choose Like to ask for more of that kind. Choose Discuss to continue with the post in Nock’s chat. The ⋯ menu can show Not interested, Less about a topic, or Hide a site.

Open What Nock looks for to review or edit the topics used to find posts. You can choose Generate to have Nock suggest search topics based on information it is allowed to use. On a first visit, choose topics and select Start my feed. Use Refresh when you want to request an update instead of waiting.

You can steer the feed conversationally—for example, “less crypto, more Formula 1”—when the voice tools are available. Nock changes the focus and starts an update; that is not a claim that fresh posts have already arrived. Check Discover for the result.

Discover’s posts link to their sources; read the linked material before relying on a summary. A post is not a task result or a claim that Nock verified every detail.

Share the best posts and ideas

Discover and Ideas can include approved posts and general ideas from the shared Nock feed, marked From the Nock feed. Nock still makes its own work-focused ideas alongside shared suggestions. The feed is curated by the Nock team.

This curated feed is not Nock Social. Social is the separate community website where you post, follow friends, join groups, and exchange private messages with its own login.

Sharing your likes is off until you opt in. When an eligible Discover post you Like or general idea you save with Later triggers the sharing question, choosing Yes turns on sharing and submits that post or idea immediately. Choosing No leaves sharing off. Your choice is remembered.

You can also control Share posts and ideas I like, so other people get good ones too under Settings → General → Beta → Ideas. While enabled, eligible posts you like and general ideas you save are shared. Posts and ideas already from the Nock feed are never sent back; personal work ideas and ideas saved from a conversation are excluded. Turning the switch off stops future sharing. The shared item contains its title, short text, topic, and relevant source links or picture—not your name, chats, notes, or project files. Reading the shared feed is separate from this switch. See Privacy controls.

Updates and access

Ideas and Discover update periodically while Nock is open and available. You can also refresh them manually, subject to the current daily limit. If an update is skipped, the page explains why; Nock does not run updates while it has been away for several days.

When enabled, these surfaces use titles and short notes to personalize suggestions and search topics; they do not need the contents of every conversation or your project files. Discover uses Nock’s web search for its selected topics. The AI provider and available plan affect whether it can generate personalized ideas and full post summaries. With a connected ChatGPT plan through Codex, the personalized features are available without using Nock’s own AI allowance; other plans have their own limits. See Privacy and Plans and trials.

Search Settings for Ideas and Discover update on their own to change automatic updates. To ask Nock to open a surface, say “show my ideas” or “show my feed.” You can also say “save that as an idea” or “make my feed about [topic].”
