02Step-by-Step Guide
1

Set Up a Personal Knowledge Base

Use a tool like Obsidian to create and store your personal notes in a centralized location.

2

Create or Find an 'AI Gardener' Script

Develop or find an open-source script (like John Kim's 'Gardener' project on GitHub) designed to interact with your notes via an API or by directly editing files.

3

Automate Daily Execution

Set up a scheduler (like a cron job) to run the script automatically every day on your notes folder.

4

Task 1: Correct and Clean

The script should be configured to automatically find and fix typos and grammatical errors in your notes.

5

Task 2: Enrich and Research

The script should identify entities like people and companies mentioned in your notes and use an AI to research and add relevant context or links.

6

Task 3: Organize and Interlink

The script should analyze your notes to create logical headings, group related ideas into clusters, and generate cross-links between notes to build a connected web of knowledge.
