What curation does
The curator reads what you add to your archive and builds a picture of your life from it:
- people: who they are, how you know them, and lasting facts about them;
- places: organisations you belong or belonged to;
- events: what happened, when, and who was there;
- projects: what you worked on, and with whom;
- facts about you: where you’ve lived, your work, your family.
Every fact, event and project links to the passages it came from. Choose a fact’s source count to read them.
What it reads
Section titled “What it reads”- Notes and documents: all of them.
- Email: personal and work correspondence. Before curating a thread, a small model decides what kind of mail it is. Automated and bulk mail, such as receipts, notifications and newsletters, is skipped: it stays in your archive and in search, but adds nothing to People or the Timeline. If it skipped something it shouldn’t have, open it in the reader and choose Curate anyway.
What it keeps
Section titled “What it keeps”The curator adds what it finds straight away. Each fact and event is also checked by a second model, which drops passing details, such as a meeting or a booking, that don’t belong on someone’s page. What’s left appears where you’ll read it, and you correct it there. See Fixing what the curator got wrong.
What you write always wins. A fact you fixed, removed or added stays as you left it, and the curator never brings back something you removed.
When it runs
Section titled “When it runs”- New documents are curated soon after they arrive, usually within minutes.
- A changed document, such as a note you’re editing, is curated at most once an hour, and only for what changed.
- Your history is curated a little each day, newest first, at the pace your plan allows. See Pace and progress.
Settings → Import and sync has Run curation now, and Re-curate everything, which reads your whole archive again under the current rules. Re-curation keeps your own facts and decisions, and asks first, showing how many documents it would read.
Who does the reading
Section titled “Who does the reading”Cloudflare-hosted models do the curating, on Cloudflare’s Workers AI. See Privacy and your data.
