Vannevar Bush — Memex
As We May Think — The Atlantic ↗
Bush imagined a personal, curated knowledge store with associative trails between documents. The piece he could not solve: who does the maintenance.
An AI-built personal knowledge base for the open web. Connect your sources and let AI handle the reading, summarising, and cross-referencing — so your knowledge compounds with every article you save.

The open web is the richest library humanity has ever built. It is also the most scattered.
Articles, threads, papers, videos — the pieces worth keeping arrive in a dozen different apps, written by a hundred thousand people, on a schedule no one controls.
Browsers were built for visiting, not for keeping. We bookmark and forget. We save and never find. The signal — the thing that actually mattered — drowns in the next tab, the next scroll, the next feed.
There has to be a better way to hold onto what you read.
AI does the reading, summarising, and cross-referencing. You ask the questions and decide what matters.
RSS, Hacker News, Twitter, YouTube — translated, summarised, and ranked by AI in one feed. Your sourcing layer, fully automated.

Ask questions about any article. Get summaries, generate reports, create social posts.

One click to save. Organize into collections. Everything searchable, nothing lost.

Turn your reading into documents. AI helps you draft, edit, and connect ideas with sources.

Karpathy named the modern answer: an LLM agent that quietly maintains a persistent, compounding wiki while you read. The bookkeeping is the LLM's job.
newsence is that pattern, on rails. No Obsidian, no markdown, no setup.
Articles, papers, threads. Keep them all.
Notes, ideas, random thoughts. They add up.
"I'll read this later." Now you actually will.
That's okay. That's why we're here.
Free is enough to start. Pro is where you pay to keep your knowledge on your side.
