Testing AI Knowledge Systems: Can 5 Tools & Markdown Build a 'Brain'?
dfinke · x · 2026-08-27
The author questions how much machinery is truly needed for an AI knowledge system. In a live experiment, he will test if a tiny harness, five basic tools, Markdown, and an LLM are enough to make an AI behave as if it has a 'brain' owned by the user. The concept involves building a knowledge library that the AI can organize, search, and retrieve, aiming for knowledge compounding rather than disposable interactions. The experiment draws inspiration from the 'G-Brain' concept and LLM Wiki blueprints.
