Manifesto Section — "AI is a collaborator, not just a tool"

The mainstream AI memory model is: AI watches you, AI extracts what matters, AI re-injects it later. You're the data source. AI's the operator.

That model has its place. But it's not what every workflow wants. Sometimes I want to decide what to remember. Sometimes I want the AI to help me organize what I've decided to remember. That's collaboration, not extraction.

In mdfy:

• I author the document.
• I capture from any AI surface.
• I ask the AI to bundle related ones around a theme.
• I review what it picked.
• I edit annotations.
• I save the bundle as a URL.

AI's role: librarian + suggester. My role: author + decider.

Both of us, working on the same hub.
