Try These

Your Timeline input handles everything: questions, captures, URLs, files, scheduling. Type naturally and AI figures out the rest. Here are the queries that show what the system can really do.

The Queries

1. Show my Working Memory briefing

Reads your current focus surface at ~/ai-now/memory.md. What topics are active, what needs attention, recent activity summary. Connected AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor) read this automatically.

2. Which of my ideas have evolved the most?

Finds the longest EVOLVES chains, ideas that went through multiple revisions. Tells the story chronologically: "In January you decided on PostgreSQL. By March, you were considering a hybrid approach. Your latest note confirms the dual-database migration."

3. What wisdom has crystallized from my notes?

Shows synthesized "crystals", reference articles the system distilled from multiple related memories overnight. These are the insights you couldn't get from any single note.

4. Summarize my recent coding conversations

If you use Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex, your sessions auto-sync. This lists and summarizes your latest coding sessions: what was discussed, what was built, what decisions were made.

5. Just decided to use PostgreSQL for the main database

Knowledge capture. The system saves it as a memory, searches for related decisions, and mentions connections: "This relates to your earlier note about database scaling." Just type naturally, the AI classifies what you share and stores it.

6. Save https://example.com/interesting-article

Paste a URL and the system fetches, parses, and indexes the content. AI reads the page and stores a substantive summary as a memory. The URL and its content become searchable. Add a note before the URL and AI captures both.

7. Tonight, run knowledge graph extraction on my recent memories

Schedule a background Knowledge Agent task. The agent fires at the specified time with full tool access: it can analyze memories, detect contradictions, create EVOLVES links, or produce crystals. Natural language timing: "in 2 hours", "tomorrow morning", "next week". Min 5 minutes, max 30 days.

8. Search my documents for [topic]

Full-text search across all source documents in your Library. Drop files (PDF, Word, markdown) onto the Timeline input or add them through the Library. They get parsed, chunked, and indexed for semantic search.

9. What are my main knowledge themes?

Note: This requires a week of regular use and background processing.

Community detection clusters your entities into topic areas with AI summaries. The system runs overnight analysis to group related concepts. You'll see themes you never consciously tracked: a "developer experience" cluster you didn't know existed, or a "data architecture" theme threading through months of notes.

The Compound Effect

These queries get more powerful over time:

• Week 1: Basic search works. Communities are small or empty.
• Month 1: Evolution chains appear. Crystals start forming. Themes emerge.
• Month 3: Cross-domain connections surprise you. Daily briefings are genuinely useful.
• Month 6: The system knows your expertise better than you can articulate it.
