Ask HN: What does self-organizing notes mean to you?

1•tofficer•5h ago
I keep spotting new PKM tools pitching self-organizing notes. Their product promise goes something like this:

“Just capture anything—no folders, no tags. Our AI will sort it out so you can spend less time filing and more time using your ideas.”

On paper that sounds magical…but what does “self-organizing” actually look like in practice?

- Which tasks should the organizing AI own? Detecting topics? Linking related ideas? Summarizing? Something else?

- Where does human intent still matter? Do you ever want to nudge or correct the system, or should it be invisible?

- What outputs feel genuinely helpful? Daily digests? Knowledge graphs? Smart search results?

- How do we judge success? Is it faster retrieval, serendipitous discovery, reduced cognitive load... or just a vibe?

- What’s gone wrong for you so far? Messy auto-tags, broken hierarchies, “smart” suggestions that weren’t so smart?

I’m curious to hear real-world experiences, wish-lists, pet peeves, dream features. Anything that moves the conversation beyond marketing copy. How would you define a note system that “organizes itself,” and what would convince you it’s the real deal?
