Experiment: Building a "brain you own" for AI with simple tools
dfinke · x · 2026-08-20
The author presents a live experiment at the NYC PowerShell Meetup exploring how to build an AI agent with a persistent knowledge library using minimal tools (LLM, Markdown, 5 basic tools). The goal is to address the disposable nature of AI interactions, creating a system where the AI accumulates and reuses knowledge, akin to Garry Tan's "library plus the librarian" concept.
