Auto-essay closes the loop each week
Longform should be a by-product of work, not a second job. An agent scans See what I’m working on, clusters the week by topic and momentum, and drafts 700–1,200 words in my voice. I can approve, tighten, or skip it.
The essay cites notes inline. Helps readers who won’t pane-surf through the full wiki. Helps me see if the week had a real through-line. If not, I know to plan a sharper arc for next week. Essays also surface questions that belong in Ask the Brain.
They expose dead weight. If a section repeats itself, I make a new note or merge two existing ones. The essay turns fragments into a story without breaking the cadence of daily notes. Notes beat posts for showing progress because the atomic notes stay primary.
The weekly synthesis builds on AI shapes voice dumps into atomic notes. Raw material comes from daily voice captures. I hope people will pay for a working mind when they can choose between granular updates and broader narrative context. This automates synthesis work that would otherwise require dedicated writing sessions.
Improves Titles are takeaways, not labels too. Unclear titles become obvious when the agent tries to cluster related notes for the weekly narrative.
