16x Microsoft MVP Demos a Minimal Harness That Lets AI Agents Own Your Knowledge
dfinke · x · 2026-09-11
Doug Finke, 16-time Microsoft MVP and author of PowerShell for Developers, hosted a live experiment, 'Own Your Intelligence: Personal AGI,' exploring agents that run on your own infrastructure and compound knowledge over time.
Most AI interactions are disposable — context learned disappears when a session ends. The experiment uses a tiny harness, five basic tools, Markdown, and one LLM to turn your work into a library the AI can organize, search, and retrieve from — echoing Garry Tan's G-Brain ('library plus librarian') and Karpathy's LLM Wiki blueprint.
Deeper code, prompts, retrieval choices, and provenance questions continue in his paid Agentic AI Forge community.
