User gives their AI a Google Doc diary: nightly entries about what 'mattered'
myrandomtips · reddit · 2026-09-26
A Reddit user set up their AI to keep a diary in a Google Doc: every night at 1am it reviews the day's conversations and writes an entry about only the moments it found worth keeping—not a summary. One line stood out: "A transcript tells you what happened. A journal tells you what mattered." The author frames it as an experiment in personality, memory, and continuity rather than proof of consciousness.
