> "I built a personal knowledge base and the AI assistant I plugged into it still hallucinates or returns nothing useful." ^pain A personal consumption pain. The worker has well-organised personal notes — and an AI tool intended to use them still cannot answer questions the worker knows are in there. The structure that makes the notes legible to the worker is implicit; the format is presentational, not typed; the tacit context the worker brings as a human reader is missing for the agent. Felt at the moment the worker realises that *human-readable* and *agent-readable* are not the same property. ## Discovery questions - "Have you tried connecting any AI tool to your personal notes? What happened?" - "When AI answers a question, can it cite anything you've actually written — or is it mostly guessing from the web?" - "If an AI agent had to find an answer in your notes, what would slow it down?" ^discovery-questions ## Examples - Reddit /r/Notion: users sharing examples of AI mis-summarising or inventing tasks from their notes.[^1] [^1]: https://www.reddit.com/r/Notion/comments/11y58dw/notion_ai_made_up_things_in_my_notes
