Here’s a demo of an idea I’ve been noodling on!

This unlocks the ideal of “cumulative knowledge” in Tools for Thought by recognizing that this goal requires effortful user behavior (contextual searches) and subverting that with AI & design.

Any ideas of what I should call this pattern?

Tools for Thought have largely become digital libraries. A compounding mind requires a librarian, who will resurface relevant information at the right moment.

I’m into:

- End-user programming: 🧑‍💻
- Behavioral science: 🧠🔬🤔
- Game design: 🎮🕹️👾
- Tools for thought: 💭🛠️📚
- AI / LLMs: 🤖💡🧬
- Dogs: 🐾🦮
- Interoperability: 🔗🔄🤝
- Software design: ✏️🌐
- Interesting data structures: 🗂️🧩🔎🔗🕸️
- Human-Computer Interaction 🤖🤝😄
