Experiment: Giving Your AI a Brain You Own
dfinke · x · 2026-08-18
This post explores how to move beyond disposable AI interactions by giving an agent a knowledge library it can organize, search, and retrieve. The author is hosting a live experiment to test the minimal machinery needed—an LLM, five basic tools, and Markdown—for an AI to behave like it has a persistent brain. The concept echoes ideas like 'the library plus the librarian' and Karpathy's LLM Wiki.
