Dennis Xu, co-founder of Mem, unpacks the future of personal knowledge and how it’s being reshaped by networked thinking, cognitive design, and human-centered AI. Drawing on his Stanford background, founder journey, and product philosophy, Dennis challenges the folder-based paradigms of information management — replacing them with malleable, graph-based systems that mirror how the human brain actually works. The conversation spans topics like information retrieval, product-market fit, second brains, deep work, and the difference between tourists and true builders in Silicon Valley. More than an app, Mem is portrayed as a thinking infrastructure for the modern knowledge worker. Together, Dennis and Srini explore how radical agency, creative autonomy, and better tools converge to help people manage complexity — without managing their software.
