Information and memory

An inspectable record of what was said, agreed, saved, retrieved and delivered.

Review specification. Checkboxes are review aids, not proof a real planning session happened. Automated saves, retrieval and audio delivery are proposed until verified.

Information flow

1 · Evidence in

Previous approved plan + recent activity digest + Matt’s uninterrupted account. Personal memory and Ryan Doris / Sam Ovens retrieval provide relevant context, not unquestionable authority.

2 · Conversation

Capture the full user-visible exchange with speaker, date, time and session identity. Preserve reconnect parts and late transcript tails; deduplicate repeated voice fragments.

3 · Durable originals

Save full transcript and daily review to dated local Markdown. Save the approved target-day plan separately with version and explicit reviewed/target dates.

4 · Notion records

Human-readable conversation, daily plan, ideas and knowledge records with source and version links. Notion edits must be reconciled before any older local version overwrites them.

5 · Pinecone search

Index timestamped transcript and audio-script chunks in personal memory. Retain original source references and distinguish user statements from generated coaching.

6 · Morning outputs

Derive compact handoff and both scripts from the approved plan. Assemble fixed audio, verify, and send privately through Telegram with segment timestamps.

7 · Next evening

The digest compares actual evidence with the original approved plan. Keep revisions and actual results separate so the benchmark is never rewritten after the fact.

Closeout receipt and recovery

Save comes first

Local snapshot survives an index, Notion or audio failure. Record source version and transcript cutoff. Late conversation content adds a new snapshot.

Every stage tells the truth

Saved, mirrored, indexed, generated and sent are separate states. Upload plus fetch/query proves retrieval; a Telegram receipt proves delivery, not listening.

Retry only unfinished work

A repeated finalization uses the same record identity, verifies existing outputs and avoids duplicate ideas, database rows and Telegram sends. Preserve earlier approved versions.

Human edits stay visible

If Notion and local approved content diverge, surface the conflict and reconcile it. Never claim two conflicting versions are both current.

Context is not access

At startup load the small current plan/routine/priority summary and source index. Fetch relevant full documents and dated memory during discussion. Display what was loaded and what is merely available.

Ideas are not commitments

Capture Matt’s parked ideas and label inferred candidate ideas for review. Extract confirmed decisions separately. Saving an idea never authorizes executing it.
