Product Requirements Document: AI-Agent-First Knowledge Platform
Version: 1.0
Date: March 10, 2026
Author: Product Team
Status: Draft
1. Executive Summary
This platform is being built from the ground up as an AI-agent-first knowledge platform — a system where AI agents are first-class citizens alongside human users. Every note, workspace, workflow, and API is designed to be created, consumed, and orchestrated by both humans and autonomous agents.
The current application is a capable note-taking app with workspaces, hashtags, posts, and bolted-on AI features. The rebuild inverts the paradigm: instead of a human app with AI helpers, it becomes a knowledge operating system where agents think, collaborate, and act — and humans supervise, guide, and participate.
Vision Statement
"The knowledge layer for the agentic era — where humans and AI agents create, organize, reason over, and act on knowledge together."
Key Differentiators
Agent-native data model — Every entity (note, task, artifact) is structured for machine readability while remaining human-friendly
MCP-native architecture — Full Model Context Protocol support as the primary integration surface
Knowledge graph, not folders — Semantic relationships replace hierarchical organization
Event-driven agent orchestration — Agents react to knowledge changes in real-time
Multi-tenant agent identity — Agents have identities, permissions, audit trails, and reputation just like human users
2. Problem Statement
Current Limitations
Problem Impact
Notes are unstructured blobs of text Agents can't reliably parse, query, or reason over content
AI is an afterthought (chat sidebar) No deep integration; agents can't autonomously create or manage knowledge
No agent identity system Can't track what an agent did, why, or with what authority
API is human-UI-coupled No clean programmatic interface for agent tooling
Flat organization (workspaces + hashtags) No semantic relationships, no knowledge graph
Single-user mental model No agent-to-agent collaboration or delegation
Hardcoded AI endpoints Can't swap models, providers, or agent frameworks
Backend split across multiple services Fragile, hard to extend, inconsistent APIs
No event/webhook system Agents can't react to changes or trigger workflows
Block-based billing is vague No clear unit economics for agent compute
Market Opportunity
The AI agent ecosystem is exploding — every major LLM provider ships agent frameworks (OpenAI Agents SDK, Anthropic MCP, Google A2A, LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen). But agents lack a persistent, shared knowledge layer that isn't just a vector database. This platform fills that gap: a place where agents store their work, share context, collaborate with humans, and build institutional knowledge.
3. Target Users
3.1 Human Users
Persona Description Key Needs
Knowledge Worker Individual using notes, tasks, research Fast capture, AI-assisted organization, search
Team Lead Manages a team with shared workspaces Oversight of agent work, approval workflows, analytics
Developer Builds agent workflows, integrations Clean APIs, MCP tools, webhooks, SDK
Creator Publishes posts, builds content AI-assisted writing, scheduling, distribution
3.2 AI Agent Users
Persona Description Key Needs
Research Agent Gathers, synthesizes, and stores information Read/write notes, semantic search, source linking
Workflow Agent Orchestrates multi-step processes Task management, status updates, human-in-the-loop
Analysis Agent Processes data and produces insights Structured output storage, chart/artifact creation
Assistant Agent Responds to user queries using knowledge base Full-text + semantic search, context retrieval
Integration Agent Syncs data between external systems and the platform Webhooks, CRUD APIs, bulk operations
Monitoring Agent Watches for changes and triggers actions Event subscriptions, real-time notifications
