ℹ️ ABOUT THIS EPISODE

===================

This week, we dove into the fast-changing PKM market and the tools shaping our productivity systems. With Tana going live for everyone—Ali Abdaal included—we discussed what this means for the tool’s future and how investment can impact its development.

We also tackled the ongoing challenge of simplifying our tool stack. Tom attempted to remove Tana and Sansama, testing if Heptabase and ClickUp alone could handle everything. The result? It's impossible—each tool serves a critical purpose. From capturing quick thoughts to managing deep work, balancing multiple apps remains essential.

A game-changing feature launch also caught our attention: Readwise's Chat with Your Highlights. This update allows us to retrieve insights from our own saved content with AI-powered relevance, turning stored information into meaningful connections. With this, the combo of Heptabase, Tana, and Reader has solidified its place as our go-to PKM stack.
