NOTE

What a Gen AI assisted second brain might actually look like

The evolution of note-taking tools toward integrating custom AI models could create a powerful utility for personal knowledge management. Users envision a system that indexes their accumulated notes, ideas, and resources from multiple sources, including books and articles, to provide contextual, on-demand insights. Such functionality would allow users to seamlessly access relevant knowledge while working, enhancing productivity without the need for manual searching. The concept of an AI as an external cognitive entity facilitates a 'second brain' experience, where past thoughts and efforts are efficiently processed and reintegrated into present tasks. Although the technology exists, the absence of a consumer-friendly model indicates a market opportunity for innovative note-taking applications, poised to transform personal learning and idea generation.
