LLM Wiki

A pattern for building personal knowledge bases using LLMs.

This is an idea file, it is designed to be copy pasted to your own LLM Agent (e.g. OpenAI Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode / Pi, or etc.). Its goal is to communicate the high level idea, but your agent will build out the specifics in collaboration with you.

The core idea

Most people's experience with LLMs and documents looks like RAG: you upload a collection of files, the LLM retrieves relevant chunks at query time, and generates an answer. This works, but the LLM is rediscovering knowledge from scratch on every question. There's no accumulation. Ask a subtle question that requires synthesizing five documents, and the LLM has to find and piece together the relevant fragments every time. Nothing is built up. NotebookLM, ChatGPT file uploads, and most RAG systems work this way.

// 1. Create a table on Airtable, and make URL/text columns with these names:
//        URL, Title, Description, Image, Feed
//    
// 2. Add a Form view. Click "Open form", then copy the URL. Set `airtable_form_url`
//    below to that URL.
//
// 3. Create a new bookmark in your web browser, and paste in the code below. Whenever
//    you're on a page you want to save, click the bookmark ("bookmarklet", technically).
//    You'll go to the airtable form, and the columns listed above will be prefilled.
