use cases

Retain meeting transcripts and recall the moment later

Capture meeting transcripts into a dig knowledge base, then find the exact decision or action item weeks later with hybrid search and token-budgeted recall — locally and reversibly.

A decision made in a meeting six weeks ago is in a transcript somewhere. dig captures those transcripts into a knowledge base and lands you on the moment, not the whole file.

How it works

  1. Retain each transcript. dig retain meeting.txt writes the content to a dated memory/ path and indexes it as a reversible changeset — dig undo rewinds the index but never deletes the file.
  2. Find the moment. dig find "<query>" --mode hybrid --json ranks across full-text and semantics, so "what did we decide about pricing" surfaces the right transcript even without the exact words.
  3. Recall for an agent. dig recall "<query>" --budget 2000 returns the query-relevant window of each hit — the passage where the decision was made — capped to a token budget and provenance-tagged.
dig init ~/meetings
dig retain standup-2026-06-15.txt   # capture into a dated memory/ path
dig find "ship date for v1" --mode hybrid --json
dig recall "what did we decide about the launch" --budget 2000

Why dig

  • Capture is one primitive. dig retain takes a file or stdin; it's the same entry point your agent's sessions use.
  • Lands on the passage. Recall returns the matching window, not the head of a long transcript.
  • Local and reversible. Transcripts stay on your machine; every capture is journaled and undoable.
