Organizing Your Knowledge
You signed up. You're staring at an empty lexicon. Now what?
Start Simple
You already have a lexicon—your personal knowledge space. That's all you need to get started.
1
Create a canvas for something you're working on
A project, a topic, a question you're exploring. Call it whatever makes sense to you.
2
Capture notes
Don't organize. Don't tag. Just write. The AI will extract entities (people, projects, concepts) and find connections automatically.
3
Keep going
As you add more notes, the knowledge graph grows. Connections appear. Patterns emerge.
When to Add Structure
Canvas— Create a new one when:
- •You're starting a distinct topic
- •You want to share something with someone else (sharing happens at the canvas level)
Workspace— Create one when:
- •You have so many canvases that scrolling through the list is annoying
- •You want to group related canvases visually
Lexicon— Create a new one when:
- •You have completely separate domains that shouldn't cross-pollinate
- •Example: Your freelance business and your creative hobby. The AI connecting "client deliverables" to "novel chapter drafts" isn't helpful.
The Hierarchy in 30 Seconds
| Level | What It Does | When You Need It |
|---|---|---|
| Lexicon | Keeps AI connections separate | When topics shouldn't mix |
| Workspace | Groups canvases visually | When you have lots of canvases |
| Canvas | Controls who sees what | Always—this is where content lives |
Don't Overthink It
You can always:
- ✓Move notes between canvases
- ✓Rename workspaces
- ✓Create new lexicons later
The AI will re-process connections as needed. Start capturing. Add structure when it helps.
