I wish all of this technology could have been around when my grandparents were still alive. :-(

The family has a TON of videos and photos, but no resource to guide us through what is what.

If devices were truly private, we could simply set our mics to always-on and massive Personal Wikis would build themselves over time. Imagine that, an autobiography for everyone. Of course the downside is massive, arguably useless storage for humans. Would be pretty valuable training data though.

I'm like, "Here's all of the obituaries," and Claude is like, "I'll make all the pages of all of the people and link them together." Pretty neat.

This is very interesting. As a person who meticulously daily diaries into Obsidian, my hope is to have a relatively accurate look-back at things I've done in the past. And having a Wiki to show that, feel very interesting now!

With video gen AI you might even get an animated movie out of it...

I quite love this idea. Both of my grandfathers died last year and going through their early memories was amazing. I would love to be able to preserve that and make it shareable with the rest of my family.

Nice work!

thank you, I'm sorry for your loss

if you have photos or anything they left behind, I'd love to hear how it goes if you give it a try

This is so inspiring, thank you for writing it. I’ve been wanting something to track my daughters life and this is exactly what I need!

I like the idea. I like the way it uses existing framework. If I was going to offer a suggestion, I would try to incorporate a way to use local inference ( or is that accomplished through opencode? I have not used it yet so I don't really know ).

yes! you can use it through opencode and a local model, that also works!

And I just taught Claude to read the Discussion notes on a page, and to make updates to the page accordingly...

This is really neat! Beyond being a personal encyclopedia, remember the Spotify documentary where each episode was someone else's POV? I'd love to document a trip with friends and everyone else to do the same and see/compare what everyone experienced!

I've been looking for a solution for this problem for a long time, and this is a particularly innovative approach.

I'll look into this more: Most appreciated, thank you.
