Feeding 60GB of old work data into AI to build a queryable "second brain" knowledge graph
oilmutt · x · 2026-08-25
An oil & gas professional shares how he built a personal AI knowledge system:
- Dropped 60GB of historical work data into a scan/ingest process, letting AI read, understand, categorize, and create relational links between information
- Built a personal dashboard centered on a knowledge graph, organized around counties and title opinions — the structure that fits his business
- Can pull up wiki-style articles detailing anything he's ever done and how it relates: every data room, teaser, economic rundown, and AFE
- Asked it to create an infographic of a drilling project's full arc, and it did a great job
A concrete case of AI-powered personal work memory in a traditional industry.
