a personal AI is only as good as its content. bunch of ways I improved mine:
- voice-aware transcription to recognize me
- real-time indexing of new tweets
- audio & video timestamps to jump to right moments
- vision model to describe PDFs and images
- hourly indexing of new content

we do this in intentapp.dev for all the workspace tools. every agent i have asked prefers it.
is anyone actually building "code mode" style MCP servers in production? Does it actually work?
Cloudflare (blog.cloudflare.com/code-mod…) swears by it but wondering how it works in practice.
