Data is still the query

 Been thinking for two years about the idea of an AI that prompts you.

14 years ago Jeff Jonas wrote about an idea that I feel like I heard from him earlier than that

The Data is the Query... you want new incoming pieces of information run against your store of internal information, pulling in new information and linking it to what you already know. At Seerist, we use the percolate approach at a basic level to make sure each new document is compared to your saved searches.

Likewise, I don't always want to prompt the AI, I want the AI to look at the situation and tell me what I need know to know to decide and act in the moment. This is something running in the background, looking at the information landscape, putting new things in context, and seeing if that causes an update.
