📚 Series Building a Knowledge Management App with Oracle AI Database 26ai Part 4 of 4 View all posts in this series → ⚡ TL;DR Unified 12 years of scattered notes - 5,178 OneNote pages plus daily markdown journals - into a single AI-searchable knowledge base powered by Oracle AI Database 26ai. The result: a unified knowledge base where I can ask “What did I write about AI in 2021?” and get instant, accurate answers—regardless of where the note originated. After building multimodal search with CLIP and vision-aware RAG, I had a powerful system. But most of my knowledge was trapped in two silos: ...
