Steven Johnson writes about Tailwind, a tool that "allows you to define a set of documents as trusted sources which the AI then uses as a kind of ground truth, shaping all of the model's interactions with you. In the use case shown on the I/O stage, the sources are class notes, but it could be other types of sources as well, such as your research materials for a book or blog post." Is it a personal learning environment (PLE)? Not exactly, but there's a lot of overlap with the concept. Via Ton Zijlstra, who says "I think there will be more tools like these coming in the next months, some of which likely will be truly local and personal." Let's hop so, as Tailwind is available by invitation and in the U.S. only.
