interview: Sari Azout Sublime PKM

AI, AI , AI…no need to talk about that here.

PKM, however….

PKM is Personal Knowledge Management, and I am really excited about it.

AT NYTech week in 2023, I sat in on a demo by Suman Kanuganti, the founder of personal.ai. Then in March, my friend Ed Schweickert drove to Washington D.C. to join in an informal meeting with Suman and Sharon Zhang, the CTO of Personal.

I have seriously played with personal.ai and will commit to it seriously this year, or early 2025 at the latest. My great need is for AI to help me organize and plan. On a creative level, I have written several books and may use them to train. But this is a very low priority.

To conclude, personal.ai is based on PKM that is composed solely of my own dats

Sublime, however, allows me to create my own data pool, but also allows me to access a public data pool. “Public’ being defined as fellow Sublime users. So, for example, if I want to do a search for ‘candles’, I could look within my own collection of information that I collected from the internet or my own writing. But if I do a public search, I could see what others have collected, whether their candle info is from poetry books, physics texts, novels, articles, etc.

Sari Azout, the founder of Sublime, kindly allowed me to do something like an interview:

Maith is mainly focused on AR. But the reality is that all kinds of things impact AR, from climate change to new technology to global events. In this case, Sublime helps me on a creative level. Using the personal mode, I have started to see how it works with project organization. There is a feature called Canvas which is pretty cool, like Apple’s Freeform on steroids.
