Knowledge entries can now be scoped to a single person. When Adapt picks up something that only matters to you — how you like your emails formatted, your PR title and branch conventions, your personal writing voice — it saves it as personal knowledge instead of adding noise to your organization's shared knowledge base.
Why this matters
Not every fact Adapt learns belongs to everyone. Your email sign-off, your review checklist, or the way you like reports laid out are useful to you but clutter for the rest of the team. Before, these preferences landed in shared organization knowledge, where they could surface for teammates who don't need them and dilute retrieval.
Personal knowledge fixes that. Preferences and personal processes stay attached to you, which keeps the shared knowledge base focused on genuinely team-wide facts and improves what Adapt retrieves for everyone.
How it works
Every knowledge entry now has a scope:
- Organization — durable facts the whole team benefits from: metric definitions, data locations, procedures, vendors, and conventions about shared work. Visible to everyone.
- Personal — one person's own preference, working convention, or voice or style guide. Visible and retrieved only for that person.
Adapt chooses the scope automatically. When the content is clearly one person's own preference or style, it saves it as personal knowledge; when a fact is genuinely team-shared or ambiguous, it defaults to organization scope. You never have to label anything.
At retrieval time, your personal entries and your organization's entries are searched together, so Adapt still applies your preferences seamlessly — they just stay private to you.
How to use it
The fastest way to seed personal knowledge is to point Adapt at things you've already written and let it learn your style. Start wherever your setup is today.
- If you've connected Gmail — "Read my last 30 sent e-mails and form a style guide for how I like to write my e-mails, then save it as personal knowledge."
- If you have a public site or blog — "Read my public blog posts at my-website.com and build a personalized guide for how I like my posts written."
- If you write code with Adapt — "Save my PR conventions as personal knowledge: my title format, branch naming, and how I like reviews kept short."
- Just getting started — "Remember that I like reports as short bullet points, answer first, no preamble."
You can also just state a preference in passing — "always address me by my first name" — and Adapt saves it to you automatically.
Manage your personal knowledge
