Ask it twice

Issue #001 · August 2026

One thing worth doing

When an answer matters, try asking in a fresh chat. Differences can reveal an assumption or a detail you need to investigate. Ask each chat to explain which sources support the answer, then open those sources yourself.

Agreement is useful to compare, but it isn't proof. Two chats can repeat the same mistaken claim, especially when they use similar training or the same source. They can also give different answers because your question leaves something open.

Try this follow-up:

Which parts of this answer are directly supported by a source?
Give me the source and the relevant passage or section.
Separate assumptions from facts, and say what would change the answer.

Check that the source exists, covers the claim, and applies to your situation. For current facts, check its date too. See why AI makes things up for more ways to review an answer.

What shipped

Our playbook library brings together four tasks: researching a question, adapting content, processing meeting notes, and building a reference library. Each has instructions, a worked example, and a free download.

Worth knowing

Obsidian stores notes as files you can keep and back up. You can save a playbook there and ask an agent to read it later. The agent still needs access to the file; it doesn't automatically remember everything you save.
