If we use prompt caching - isn't a largish MCP tools section just like a fixed token penalty in return for higher speed at runtime, because tools don't need to be discovered on demand, and that's the better tradeoff? At least for the most powerful models it doesn't feel like their quality goes down much with a few MCP servers. I might be missing something.
This is interesting. Do you mean this is like chat with your book, or these are books you've already finished reading which you have a query over to ask? And does it search raw book text or metadata?
Kerns (https://kerns.ai) — a research environment for deeply understanding topics across multiple sources. Upload papers, articles, or books into a workspace that persists across sessions. Read with AI summaries that let you zoom in and out of any document. Generate knowledge maps to visualize how ideas connect. Run deep research agents that produce comprehensive, cited reports. Free to use, would love feedback from anyone doing heavy reading/research.
Similar stuff my end; I'm coding up a complex feature - Claude would have taken fewer interventions on my part, and would have been non buggy right off the bat. But apart from that the experience is comparable.
I don't really understand the amount of ongoing negativity in the comments. This is not the first time a product has been near copied, and the experience for me is far superior to code in a terminal. It comes with improvements even though imperfect, and I'm excited for those! I've long wanted the ability to comment on code diffs instead of just writing things back down in chat. And I'm excited for the quality of gemini 3.0 pro; although I'm running into rate limits. I can already tell its something I'm going to try out a lot!
Thanks a lot! Thanks for the feedback. URLs already show up as links if the agent decides to do a search and find refs when making the mind map. I'll work on adding images, thanks!
I also realised I forgot to commend you; I think this is a useful interface! Kudos on building it! I'm working on something very related myself.
I think in general these things should not be confused to be the one and same artifact - that of a personal memory device and that for LLM context management. Right now, it seems to double up, of which the main problem is that it kind of puts the burden on me to manage my memory device, which should be automatic I think. I don't have perfect thoughts on it, so I'll leave it at this, its work in progress..
I tried it, I have tried a very similar but still different use case. I wonder if you have thoughts around how much of this is our own context management vs context management for the LLM. Ideally, I don't want to do any work for the LLM; it should be able to figure out from chat what 'branch' of the tree I'm exploring, and then the artifact is purely for one's own use.
Okay so how are we to do the actual hardest thing on our list? All else is resolved (let's say) (I genuinely agree). I just want a nice complete framework to remember this article and what's missing is how to get the top item/hardest thing done.
Yes, that's true. I think it is analogous to paying higher to Cursor for their no data retention policy, so its definitely trusting the provider further. It is of course possible that's also not acceptable, which is what I was wondering if it is..
We are iterating fast and solving issues, indeed, and are aware of some problems.
It would be helpful to understand what you mean more precisely with the last line, particularly if you've experimented with this graph style and found it seriously inhibiting. Our assumption in fact isn't that the visual graph style is optimal for a LOT of depth. It is useful for some 'unknown' period of exploration. We have alternatively a tree representation of the same information, which we find becomes quickly better to use, once you have a lay of the topic and are more familiar with top level ideas. Then for specifi
I love Obsidian too! It is unclear to me if I want to manage this kind of service on my laptop, or want fundamental cross device functionality to consume on phone when we want to. For now, web is our platform of choice.
