What is AI for Thought?
Let’s start by understanding Tools for Thought: A range of methods, systems, and tools designed to enhance thinking, learning, and knowledge management. Then we’ll refine those tools with methods from AI, and finally consider newly possible extensions.
For example:
Bi-directional linking
Zettelkasten
Spaced Repetition Systems
Memex & Memory Systems
Personal Wikis
Mind & Concept Mapping
Interactive Learning Environments
So, what falls under AI for Thought?
Omni-directional embedding-powered linking
Generative model bi-directional linking via LLM generated tags
Auto-Zettelkasten
Generative Flash Cards for Spaced Repetition
ML Search systems over personal data (Local)
Approximate & query augmented rip-grep / Tuned embeddings /Hybrid Search
Generative personal wiki, based on user behavior
+ Browser History, Screenshot OCR
Embedding based graphs, generative graphs
Docs -> Graph, Book -> Graph, Papers -> Graph
AI interaction in learning environments
How can AI for Thought Extend Tools for Thought? What else is AI for Thought? A few examples:
Enhancing Decision Making
Neural Memory Through Search
Reading Customized for You
The Generative Interface
Generative Creativity
The Generative Web (Web Rewritten for You)
Generative Encyclopedia, a Totally Comprehensive Knowledge Store
Real Time Proactive Search
Generative Quizzes When Reading Books & Papers
Interactive Reading Experience
Generative Courses / Curriculum
Based in an Upload of Books & Papers
Immersive Knowledge Consumption & Generation Experiences
In 1968 Douglas Engelbart showed the "mother of all computer demos". It was a device that let you use a computer without just typing into a terminal: the mouse.
Innovations like the mouse turned computers into what Steve Jobs called "A bicycle for the mind"
Now more than 50 years later, computers can think, speak, and listen as well as humans in many scenarios.
It is time to again ask ourselves: What does it mean to use a computer as a tool for the mind?
It may mean building the next Notion, or Roam research, or Obsidian, ground up using gen AI.
It may mean rekindling the aspirations of the Internet-Of-Things movement where any household appliance can be communicated with seamlessly.
Or it may mean creating "the next mouse"
This hackathon is a playground to think different.
