Experiment: Minimal AI Knowledge System with 5 Tools and Markdown
dfinke · x · 2026-08-20
The author proposes a live experiment to test how little machinery is needed for an AI to develop a reusable knowledge base. Using only PowerShell, Markdown, five basic tools, and an LLM, the session explores whether an AI can compound on owned knowledge instead of starting fresh each time. The concept aligns with ideas like G-Brain or Karpathy's LLM Wiki, focusing on practical agent automation.
