Personal wiki as critical business infrastructure
Press Space to continue
3 months on, and my personal wiki has become critical infrastructure for my business. Hugely enriches my courses and makes "agents that run my business" actually viable. Very, very glad that I built this myself. Relying on a vendor for memory feels like a recipe for lock-in.

For folks following my personal wiki journey, it's going extremely well. Every weekday I have a 15-minute podcast on the new stuff coming into the wiki (from X, Discord, Slack, Gmail, GitHub issues etc). This acts both as a "cool, new stuff" listen but also a vibe check on how well the stuff in the wiki reflects reality. I'm now building on-demand podcasts, so I can get a wiki deep-dive on a topic before I make a video on it. I have a custom CLI that agents can call from the wiki to investigate my course material/AI Hero posts. This is invaluable in them helping me flesh out my new course before filming. Overall, I had no idea how powerful owning your data could be. It's changing the way I think about my business going forward and opening up all sorts of loop possibilities.
