According to the online Oxford Dictionary, knowledge is a noun, "the information, understanding and skills that you gain through education or experience".

Problem-solving Before AI?

AI is like an advanced Google search, or Stackoverflow search, right? The answer is no. Let’s assume I am getting an error or need some knowledge. Specifically speaking, in Software Engineering, consider I am getting an issue in a method in the Java Util Package. So we usually search on Google, check in Stack Overflow, anyone has already got this issue. If yes, we try to understand how they solved it, or else I end up reading a similar issue. If I am the one first getting this issue, I am forced to read the documentation, where I can’t directly find where it is documented. I will navigate the documentation pages by reading and understanding the docs, and find the exact class. Now I will go through multiple overloaded methods which I never knew, and will understand all the default parameters for the method. Once I find the possible solution, I need to try it out first.

Process forces us to do:

1. Find the root cause first. What is the problem actually?

2. Ability to find similar problems, learning from others’ mistakes.

3. Reading multiple comments, understanding others’ issues, ranking them and finding closer to us.

4. Know about the similar issue, which gives us an overall picture of the system, so that we can avoid those mistakes in future.

5. Reading the documentation, which we usually won’t do. We learn a lot of things naturally, which creates confidence in our skills in that system.

6. Trying the solutions.

Problem-solving After AI?

Hi, I am getting this issue , here is the code, here is the error log. Fix it for me.

Simple as it is, it provides the 5 different solutions, where all of them work perfectly. And I will copy and paste the one which I am able to understand easily at that time.

It made us :

1. Ability to create a perfect prompt that will provide a solution in a single turn.

2. Ability to rank the solution, which fits the current coding standard in the project and is easy to debug.

3. Copy, Paste and Build and Run.

Should I not use AI then?

That is so stupid, it is like asking Should I search answer to my question in a library full of books, instead of using Google search 20 years back. You will be left behind.

With every new revolution, there is a loss of skills, which is inevitable.

The point is, which skills are we willing to lose to improve our lifestyle?

With AI, we are ready to lose our thinking capability over immediate convenience; long-term brain development may be sacrificed in the process, as said here.

Usually, a revolution happens mainly to save our operating time and increase life expectancy. All those happened with our thinking capability, where the AI revolution tends to change how we think.

If we speak about the final result, with the AI, the work is done perfectly in minimal time, then a normal human can do the same. But the soulful, personal touch is missed.

Thinking about the future, if an entire generation used an AI for thinking, there would be no curiosity, no innovations, no motivation.

How to use AI then?

That’s what I am trying to find myself.

Before going to chat with AI, trying to find the solution by ourselves will somehow help us keep our thinking skills with us.

After having a base idea of your solution, you can use AI for

1. To validate your work.

2. Compare your work.

3. Improvise your work.

This simple change will have have huge impact on how you are interpreting the AI solution, now you see it as an alternate solution, similar to searching on Stack Overflow, but in a very organised, real-time response.

Skills to honour in the AI era?

1. Understanding the environmental situation before acting.

2. Ability to use AI to work with you, not work for you.

3. Ability to find the problem, because solving it becomes very easy with AI.

4. Ability to use your instinct to make a wise decision.

Still unknown to me!

While I am writing this, I have been using the AI extensively for my work. Which made me write this.

So, all of my perspective is based on my own experience, where I had finished my school, college and 2 years of work before the AI. Totally, I have 23 years of living experience in this world without an AI.

The children who are going to be born, students who are in the school or college, professionals who are going to start work, need assistance from their ancestors(It is us), to transfer our experience to them. It is not a simple Nostalgic moment sharing; we need a system which can solve this!

This perspective may be outdated in future or may not!

I have read this before writing this and other articles,

Ok, ask yourself, are you really organised in this Digital world?

Whether you’re a student, working professional, or both, staying on top of your emails, files, and schedule can feel overwhelming. After plenty of trial and error, I’ve found a few simple actions that can make digital life far easier. This blog is my perspective, based on recent experiments and research. No AI-written fluff—just practical steps you can start using today.

Being organised is actually an easy one, but moving the existing unorganised data/knowledge to an organised way is a tedious task. But believe me, it is a one-time heavy effort, but once it is done, it will reduce the repetitive mental pressure, questions like where is that file? When is that event? I missed that email. At the end, you will be clearer on what, when, and how you will be doing something.

Tips:

1. Making unorganised things organised is time-consuming, so give time and effort to that and work on the phase-wise process; organise one thing at a time.

2. Keeping the organised as organised is a continuous process and a disciplined way. Once you grasp the routine, it is as much simple as.

Organised (In My Perspective):

1. The passive communication you receive, like emails, any notification, will be actioned within a very short time.

2. If you want something, you know where it is available (Without searching)

3. You know what you are going to do at the same time next week.

Yeah, if you can do this, you are already organised. If not, let’s discuss…

Declaration:

1. These things I learned in the past few weeks, to get organised myself. I am sharing here my learning and my perspective.

2. This blog will give some immediate actions, but not detailed steps. First thing in organising the thing is searching and doing it by yourself, so you will have a clear mental context when you learn.

3. I am using Google Products, but the same thing applies to other workspaces also (Zoho, Microsoft..)

4. Zero AI used for writing this, but used for researching.

5. I subscribed to this newsletter - https://academy.jeffsu.org/workspace-toolkit

6. While researching this, I found an important configuration to do in the Google Account. (What happens to your Google account when it is Inactive? You are not in this world!) Add your loved ones’ contact here, so they can get your browsing history😅.

   1. https://myaccount.google.com/inactive

1. Email:

⬇️

1.1 Problem:

• Yeah, we receive emails daily, and unless some of the emails are important, we ignore all emails. When we are waiting for an email, we will open all emails.

• Some people will open all emails, but they just open it, they won’t Archive it / Label it for future access..

Focus: The Issue is not receiving the emails, the issue is how we are opening the email, and after opening it, what we are doing.

1.2 Actions:

1. Thumb Rule → When you open an email, if you feel those emails/notifications/newsletters are not needed anymore, unsubscribe immediately. Also, use the filter message like this option to delete old ones.

2. Create Labels

3. Create a Filter for auto labelling

4. Create Multi-Inbox

   1. Action Required

   2. Waiting for

   3. To Read

5. Read all emails every morning, move to the appropriate label / Inbox.

6. Optimise the email settings by exploring the best practices. Most of us didn’t use this settings page much(Maybe because of its old school UI, not sure ). Found this case study on this.

   1. 

2. Drive:

⬇️

2.1 Problem:

• Random file created at a random place.

• Your friend/colleague shares the drive link. Just click the drive link shared with you, and copy the file to your home folder.

Focus: It is not about creating files; it is about where you are creating and how you name them.

2.2 Action:

1. Understand about organising frameworks (No frameworks can fit our use case, I explored all options, used PARA, Hierarchy mixed.)

   1. PARA (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archives) – https://fortelabs.com/blog/para/

   2. GTD (Getting Things Done) – https://gettingthingsdone.com/what-is-gtd/

   3. Hierarchical Structure

2. Thumb Rule → Organise when you create it, when you are creating, you know its purpose, your brain has context where and how to store. If we don’t organise it when we create it, then we always move it to another, again and again Re rethinking where to store it.

3. Calendar:

3.1 Problems:

• If you don’t know what you are doing in a day, then you won’t do anything.

• Our brain can’t always remember everything.

• You are invited by someone for lunch, but because you just forgot, you didn’t show up.. Everything is Ok, if they also forgot that they asked you, unless they made a biryani for you.

• You invited someone, but you went to the movie, they are at the doorstep, and you are not in the home.

3.2 Actions:

1. Thumb Rule → Block future yourself to do something in the future that you can’t do in present. (It prevents future of you from doing random things at that time. Once the full cycle is set up you will be spending your valuable time on valuable things. (Simple terms: Plan Prior).

2. Create all possible events in the calendar, with a detailed description

   1. Location

   2. Things to be taken with you (docs, books, etc.)

   3. Travel plan/timings

   4. If it is a long travel, add a note also to do something during that time..(Thinking about new projects, reading the books). When we are on travel, you will see new people, new places.. See the real world… It will help us to see things from a different perspective… I do some writing when I travel on the train.

3. Events can be,

   1. Wedding/ Birthday/ Lunch invitation

   2. Your professional events

   3. You want to visit/call friends, family

   4. You want to plan the trip…

🚀 The Problem That Sparked the Idea

As a software engineer, I often have long, in-depth conversations with ChatGPT while debugging, brainstorming, or designing systems.

But there's one moment that always broke the flow:

“You've reached the maximum length for this conversation.”

After hours of back-and-forth, I’d suddenly lose all the context we’d built. Restarting meant recreating the problem statement, past prompts, and partial solutions. Tedious. Unproductive.

So I decided to solve it — for myself and for anyone else who relies on AI as a thinking partner.

🎉 Introducing: AI Context Bridge

My first open-source Chrome extension — a simple tool to help you continue conversations seamlessly, even when token limits hit.

No more starting from scratch. Just click, summarize, and continue.

🔧 What It Does

✅ Summarizes your entire conversation intelligently
🔄 Transfers only the essential context into a new chat
⚡ One-click continuation
🔐 100% local & private (no data leaves your browser)
🌐 Supports ChatGPT now, Claude support coming soon

🖼️ See It in Action

Once installed, you’ll see a floating "Continue Chat" button while using ChatGPT.

When you hit a token limit:

• Click the button

• The extension summarizes the chat

• It opens a new tab with the summary pre-filled
  Boom — conversation continues from where you left off.

🧠 How It Works (High-Level Overview)

AI Context Bridge is built to be simple and efficient. Here's what it does behind the scenes:

🔹 Feature 1: Summarize and Continue (ChatGPT)

• It edits your last human message to include a prompt asking ChatGPT to summarize the conversation

• ChatGPT responds with a compact, usable summary

• The extension opens a new tab and inserts the summary as the starting message

• You continue the conversation without losing momentum

🔹 Feature 2: Send to Claude for a Second Opinion (Experimental)

• It summarizes the ChatGPT conversation

• Then it sends that summary to Claude AI for a different take

• Great for comparing insights across models

🚀 Coming Soon: Future Plans

Here’s what I’m building next to make the extension even more powerful:

🔄 Topic-Specific Context Extraction

• Filter conversations by specific topics
  e.g., “Continue only React debugging context”

• Extract and continue multiple focused conversations from a single chat

🔖 Context Bookmarking

• Save important conversation moments
  e.g., breakthrough ideas, great explanations

• Reuse saved contexts across different projects

• Build a personal Context Library to never lose key knowledge again

🤖 Why This Matters

Whether you're a:

• 💻 Developer debugging production issues

• ✍️ Content creator continuing a storyline or blog

• 📚 Researcher working across multiple sessions

AI Context Bridge helps you preserve your flow, avoid repetition, and stay focused.

No more "What were we talking about again?"

🧪 Built With

• JavaScript (Chrome Extension API)
