## Core Elements
### Browser -- Acquiring Information
Do we really need a browser when we have AI trained on the internet?
Is the browser / search engine just a transitional phase of how humans get information?
### AI Agent -- Processing Information
Dia Skills
git for AI client (commit, synthesize, branch)
more than passive prompt response / linear conversation
-- bidirectional prompting, [[Revolutionize how humans interact with AI to explore ideas and think together]]
### Note Editor -- Preserving Information
(local md, folder, tags, links)
note as shared working memory with AI

## An Agentic Workspace for Knowledge, Learning & Thinking
Education + Agentic AI (deep vertical integration)
PK
idea = learn from agentic AI coding tools like Cursor, Claude Code & Gemini CLI --> "Treat your note vault as a coding project"
What coding agents have been doing for software engineering is soon expanding to all knowledge work - this is just the beginning.

People are already using Cursor as a note-taking tool (Claude Code at the side) -- there is an authentic demand for an agentic AI notetaking IDE 1. on local md file and 2. with LLM agent integrated, basically what I am building!

> Larc Mini is an AI-powered agentic workspace for learning & thinking that reinvents how humans interact with information & knowledge.
"Agentic" meaning --
1. AI agent executing actions for you
2. User = agentic being
[[Computer as an agent]]
UI = dynamic, context aware, & transition phase to serve UX --> AX
to create a "Thinking CLI" optimzied for KM & thinking
--> what tools / actions will it have?
(What exaclty happen when we "think" and "manage knowledge?)
1. In (Context)
- Read / Search (context over the entire vault) -- internal context & memory
- Research (get information from the internet & gain external context) -- external context
2. Process: Think / Respond / Propose -- answer question, point out connections / blind spots, etc.
3. Out: Write -- edit / create notes
[[What Agentic AI is really about]]
Bidirectional Prompting
when should the agent suggest changes?
--> set up a gate thinking whether it should speak up to interupt to propose changes

Even further -- "a *general purpose* agentic workspace"
space over app -- [[Build space, not product]]
to answer your grandma's question of "what are you working on your laptop?"
