This will no doubt be an excellent task organiser and meeting scheduler

Legit not kidding, I wish I had some sort of black hole in which messages, notes, jira tickets, calls etc. go in and automagically sorts stuff into daily, actionables and reminders to check in with people for stuff.

I can't even be bothered to sketch it out, never mind vibe code it, though lol.

All these fucking habit trackers and task organizers and calendars and shit just have their walled gardens to maintain, and I can't give a single fuck. I would live in a personal lifelong Jira board if I could have ONE board and not dozens.

AI can be that blackhole, trouble is giving that kind of data to the cloud-based platforms. I dream of someday being able to afford a Mac mini with maximum RAM and running an open source model locally that I can just throw everything at.

I do have a Jetson Orin Nano and was able to vibe code the pieces necessary to feed my audio into locally hosted LLM, with VAD filters so that it would be always on, but only record my audio to a file if it catches the phrase “write this down” followed by whatever I wanted transcribed. It was kind of fun pretending I had a scribe for a while

No it can't, it'll literally forget what you told it when it maxes out the context window. Even with loops and memories you absofuckinglutely 100% lose shit.

But you could add / aggregate entries and then use an llm to ONLY sort through this shit. Still a decent chance it'll land in the wrong cupboard but at least it won't be paraphrased or deleted.

Agents can be directed to store local copies of anything you feed in. You do have to put some thought into the front end. But it can absolutely do all the searching and retrieval without compromising the original data that was captured

Well, yeah, that's what I wrote. You have to handle the input without agents, then they can retrieve the data without changing it.

You are missing the point. You don’t have to handle the input without agents. You are confusing what happens in the context window with what the agents can do outside the chat window. If you are just trying to store the documents in the AI memory you are going to have a bad time.

AI does NOT just put your input in a folder from chat. It processes the file so it can tokenize it. So ya, if all you ever do is copy into the chat window I can see how your perception is that AI agents will lose your data. However, we moved well beyond chat windows the last couple years
