The Knowledge Briefing: turning passive notes into compounding intelligence

How Kiomon solves the digital hoarding paradox with autonomous weekly dossiers, 5 intelligence pillars, and zero dead-end actions across your memory graph.

How we built hybrid search: fusing full-text and vectors

Why concatenating two result lists fails, and how reciprocal rank fusion (RRF, k=60) lets Kiomon search lexically and by meaning simultaneously with an automatic fallback.

Your AI agent is only as good as its context

The bottleneck is not the model, but what the agent remembers about your work. Here is the case for persistent memory over ephemeral prompts.

From capture to recall: the Kiomon pipeline, explained

A walk through the capture, clean, connect, and remember pipeline, and how memory graphs organize agent context.

The Review Inbox: why AI memory needs human-in-the-loop verification

Why unconstrained agent self-reflection leads to memory pollution, and how the staged Review Inbox guarantees clean, trusted long-term recall.

How we handle memories: kinds, lifecycle, and graph consolidation

A deep dive into cognitive memory kinds, the human-in-the-loop lifecycle, and how graph consolidation keeps agent recall sharp over time.

Staging context: how RAG answers follow-ups without re-reading the library

Learn how smart search fallbacks and self-summarizing context windows keep agent Q&A affordable, accurate, and on-topic.

The Librarian: auto-linking your knowledge graph

How background jobs compute TF-IDF and cosine similarity on every save so auto-linking stays fast, isolated, and fully reversible.
