FAQPage Schema
How do I capture meeting notes and research fragments into a personal brain from the CLI?▼

You can capture meeting notes and research fragments by running a single CLI command that ingests text, files, or stdin directly into your inbox. This stores content quickly and makes it immediately query-able for future recall.

What is the best way to save quick ideas and transcripts without manual sync?▼

The best way to save quick ideas is using a single CLI entry point that replaces multiple capture methods and manual sync. It reliably ingests your thoughts and content with a readable receipt for confirmation.

How does deduplication work when ingesting thoughts into an inbox?▼

Deduplication works by applying a 24-hour window to prevent duplicate thought entries when ingesting content into the inbox. This ensures your captured items remain unique and reliable for analysis.

Can I use stdin to capture content into my personal knowledge management system?▼

Yes, you can use stdin to capture content into your personal knowledge management system. The process ingests stdin input, generates a stable predictable slug, and performs local or remote writes to store the item.

Does capturing content automatically make it query-able for future analysis?▼

Yes, capturing content automatically makes newly captured items query-able for future analysis. Once ingested into the inbox with a stable slug, the text, files, or stdin data are immediately available for recall.

What limitations exist when using a single CLI command for personal knowledge capture?▼

A limitation of using a single CLI command for personal knowledge capture is that it functions strictly as a front-end entry point for ingestion and slug generation. It does not perform deep analysis, relying on downstream tools to process the captured inbox.
