The mysteriously powerful connection between your notes and AI

Did you know that the notes and resources you've collected in your personal knowledge base could provide the ideal context to make your AI queries more fruitful?

That's what Sari Azout, founder of Sublime, reveals in her latest Substack post.

"The more AI can execute, the more your eye for what's interesting – your ability to discern and curate what matters and why – becomes everything.”

“A curated personal knowledge base has never mattered more. Not just to remember what inspires you, but to teach AI to see through your eyes."

"Today, (AI input) context windows can absorb upwards of 1.5 million words. Claude may have read the entire Internet, but it doesn’t know where you’re coming from—until now. This is where curation becomes invaluable. If you’ve collected ideas from beyond the reach of the Internet’s dopamine-drip algorithms... that becomes incredible context to tune AI to your eye."

This is one of those connections that has been laying around in plain sight: PKMs (personal knowledge bases) and AI, existing as separate islands.

But thanks to Sarai's incredible insight, they can now be connected to bring us much greater value from AI!

"When you invest in building your own curated knowledge base, you’ll create work that is better, that feels more you. That’s what this is about—giving you the reins so AI works with your taste, not against it. Because the secret sauce is never the tech—it’s you."
