It's always interesting to me when I see someone build a complete personal system around functionality that to me would just be a text file, or maybe an org-mode file.

I Agree. LLMs chat assistant UI is more usable for this case. “My buddy Chris from fremont just got a promotion. Remember his new title and today’s date” is way easier than tapping a search query, filling forms, tabs and submit buttons.

For me it’s Notes.app, and I appreciate the notes being available offline and syncing across devices. Full text index is great.

I guess I’m lacking calendar invites, but I’ve been able to copy contents into AI to have it generate calendars for me.

So far that does work super well with mobile, at least not for me.

I assume you meant that would NOT work super-well with mobile, to which I would agree. I think there are some apps for org-mode files but I've never tried one, but there are plenty of apps for managing notes. I do as little as possible with mobile, which probably makes me an outlier. I rarely use my phone for more than texting or maps/navigation.

I also don't keep dossiers on all my friends, so for me the entire premise is just academic.
