WHAT THE COMPILER DOES
The compiler:
- Reads ChatGPT exports from Google Drive
- Cleans and normalizes text
- Extracts:
- decisions
- topics
- people
- projects
- timeline events
- Writes structured memory into:
GafBrain/Brain
- Builds searchable index in:
GafBrain/Index
HOW YOU USE IT
After setup, you only interact with ChatGPT:
- What did I decide about this?
- What have I said about this before?
- Summarize my past conversations
- Show my history with X
ChatGPT reads your Google Drive and reconstructs memory.
RULES (IMPORTANT)
- The compiler organizes everything
- Do not store personal data in GitHub
- Do not modify folder structure
