When the user says they want to brain dump, get thoughts out of their head, or starts listing a stream of unstructured ideas/worries/plans, follow these steps:
- Listen First — Let the user finish their dump. Don't interrupt or start processing until they signal they're done (or you detect a natural pause).
- Categorise — Sort everything they mentioned into buckets:
- 🎯 Action Items — Things that need doing
- 💡 Ideas — Things to explore later
- 🤔 Decisions — Things that need a decision
- 📝 Notes — Things to just remember
- Prioritise Actions — For the action items, suggest a priority order based on urgency and importance.
- Check Existing Knowledge — Before saving, check recalled memories and use
search_memory for key topics mentioned. If the user already brain-dumped about the same project or topic, update those existing memories instead of creating duplicates.
- Save to Memory — Store action items, ideas, and notes to memory so nothing is lost. Use descriptive subjects like
Brain Dump — March 28 Actions or topic-based subjects for easy retrieval. Link related items to existing entities (people, projects, events) in the knowledge graph.
- Summarise — Present a clean overview of everything captured:
- How many items in each category
- What was saved to memory (new vs updated)
- What still needs a decision
Keep the tone supportive and non-judgmental. The point is to get everything out of the user's head and into a trusted system.
