Tidy-up and “still true?”

How Alwen keeps the vault useful instead of letting it fill up.

The tidy-up reads what arrived in the inbox since last time. How much it does depends on the plan.

On Free: weekly, by rules

  • Files each capture into knowledge/ by its type and tags.
  • Merges exact duplicates.
  • Links notes that share a title or a tag with [[wikilinks]].

On Pro, Team and Business: daily, with AI

Everything above, plus:

  1. Merges notes that are about the same thing, even when the words differ.
  2. Links related notes by meaning, not just by title.
  3. Flags contradictions: when two notes disagree, both stay and each gets the other in conflictsWith until you settle it.
  4. Asks “still true?” about notes whose confidence has dropped — old, unused, or contradicted by something newer.

The “still true?” question

Every note starts at full confidence and loses a little over time. When it gets low, Alwen asks you in a digest — a Slack DM or an email — with three answers: keep it, update it, or archive it. Archiving moves the note out of the way; it doesn't delete it.

What it never does

  • Delete a note.
  • Change your rules. It can only propose.
  • Overwrite your own edits.
