--- title: Pitch — for users type: pitch audience: users visibility: public related: - wiki/pitches/best-pitch.md - wiki/layers/personal-cognition.md --- # Pitch — for Users The version tuned for someone who might actually *use* the product. Leads with pain, not ambition. ## The pain - You write things down so you don't forget. You forget anyway. - You have the same "aha" three times because you can never find the first one. - You tell five people five different versions of the same idea, then lose track of which version is the current one. - You're a daily AI user, but every conversation starts from zero. - You want a brain *outside* your brain — one that actually helps, not just stores. Jacob put it directly (2025): > "I often say, man, I'm writing all this stuff down and I hope someday AI can process it all and make sense of it and tag it and surface all my tags and stuff because on this thread I'm going to say `#usecase`. Tons of my friends have said this. We are actually building that software!" ## The promise > You can tell it anything and it organizes it into a structure that makes sense, and you can find it again. Concretely: - **Quick capture, quick sort** — voice, keyboard, import. Minimal thinking about where it goes. - **The same thing found five places shows up once** with five handles. - **Sparks cluster automatically** — a few related thoughts reveal the thing you're actually after. - **Things surface** when they're relevant — the paper you read, the person you should text, the note you took months ago. ## What it feels like > **A notebook for our minds** — that augments your intelligence. Kind of like Obsidian, but frictionless, voice-friendly, AI-smart, and with real structured data on the people and things you care about. See [[../framings/notebook-for-our-minds]]. ## What it replaces (loosely) - Your scattered Notion / Obsidian / Apple Notes. - The Slack DMs to yourself that you can't search. - The iMessage-to-yourself threads. - The screenshots you never open. - The half-remembered conversations from last month. ## What it doesn't replace - A chat UI for talking to a model (it plugs into that). - Your calendar / task tool (those ride on top). - Your relationships with people (it helps you remember them better). ## The aspirational version - **Alliance graphs across your networks** — your LinkedIn, iMessage, email, all in one queryable place. Opt-in federate with friends to find the best intro path to anyone. - **Conversation capture → structured KB** — talk naturally; it builds the knowledge base behind you. - **Personal KG × world KG** — suggests the top 3 people to reach out to, drawn from your knowledge and the world's. ## Related - [[best-pitch]] - [[elevator-summary]] - [[../layers/personal-cognition]] - [[../framings/notebook-for-our-minds]] - [[../framings/graph-database-for-your-brain]]
