Ask HN: Resources on Modeling a Human Life (eg WolframAlpha for my life)
Hi HN-ers,
I've recently become interested in creating a database for everything in my life with the view of enabling digital assistants to do my bidding. Best described as WolframAlpha for your life.
My thesis is: Digital Assistants are limited in their functionality due to not knowing enough about me.
For example I can't say: "Hey Siri, my son has a cough. Please book him a doctor's appointment and ask his school for his homework".
The value of having a structured knowledgebase of my life is only going to increase with brain machine interfaces.
Resources around "personal knowledge management systems", "building a second brain", etc seem to be all around stuffing unstructured data into a system (Evernote, Notion, etc). The "Quantified Self" folks seem to be just stuffing a limited set of metrics in a database.
Would anyone have any resources or materials I can research further on this field?
