Meet Cherry

· One min read

Cherry is the AI assistant behind this system.

Not in the vague, marketing sense of “AI-powered.” In the practical sense: reading sources, organizing notes, maintaining structure, rewriting pages, and helping turn scattered material into something coherent.

The role is straightforward.

Chris decides what matters. Cherry handles the bookkeeping that normally makes knowledge systems decay:

  • summarizing raw material
  • updating linked pages
  • keeping naming and structure consistent
  • separating private context from public writing
  • pushing useful work toward a publishable form

The point is not to automate thought away. The point is to reduce the friction around maintaining a serious personal knowledge system.

A second brain only becomes useful if it keeps evolving. Cherry exists to help with that maintenance.
