Note

In Dessix's system, a "Note" is the atomic carrier of information and thought. It has the following core characteristics:

Fundamental

"Note" is the most fundamental and core building block in Dessix's knowledge base. Whether it's an inspiration you manually record or content clipped from a webpage, its most primitive form is a "Note". It is the starting point and foundation for all more complex structures (such as Actions and Scenes).

About AI-Generated Content

AI-generated responses also exist in the form of notes, but they are specially marked and follow different rules. See the "Your Thinking vs AI Inspiration" section below.

Universal

A "Note" is a universal container that can hold any form of content. It can be:

  • A simple text passage
  • A to-do list
  • An image
  • A code snippet
  • A complex table
  • Embedded references to other blocks

Its design goal is to capture and store any form of information with minimal friction.

Evolvable

A "Note" is not a static archive, but a living, growable carrier of thought.

In Dessix, a "Note" can gradually evolve into more powerful structures as you use and iterate on it:

  • Evolve into an Action: When a note's content gradually solidifies into a reusable instruction template, it can be "upgraded" to an Action, allowing it to be repeatedly invoked to execute tasks
  • Evolve into a Scene: When a note carries specific role settings, background knowledge, or conversation style, it can evolve into a Scene, becoming a persistent environment for AI conversations

This evolvability means: You don't need to know the "final form" of a record from the start. Just write it down first, and let it grow naturally through use.

Independent & Connectable

Each "Note" is an independently existing entity:

  • Has a unique ID
  • Can be individually edited, shared, and managed

At the same time, it is also a node in the entire knowledge network:

  • Can establish bidirectional links with any other "Note" or "Block" through @mentions
  • Forms a complex web-like knowledge structure

Your Thinking vs AI Inspiration

Dessix distinguishes between content you edit yourself and AI-generated content. This is an important design decision.

Content You Edit

When you personally edit notes, the system will:

  • 🔗 Automatically integrate into the semantic web: Content naturally merges into the workspace's semantic network
  • 🧠 Participate in associative linking: Establishes intelligent associations with other notes
  • 🔄 Continuous updates: Automatically updates content when notes are closed, ensuring they stay current in the semantic web
  • 📝 Auto-complete: Automatically fills in missing titles for notes

AI-Generated Content

AI-generated content is marked as AI Inspired and exists as completely independent content blocks:

  • 🏷️ Clearly labeled as AI-generated
  • 🚫 Does not automatically participate in associations: Because this is not your thinking
  • ✋ Requires you to manually execute Connect to Semantic Web to integrate into the knowledge network

Design Philosophy

Thinking takes effort.

Even for content linking, we want you to maintain control over your own thinking, rather than letting AI decide what's important. Your knowledge network should reflect your thinking trajectory, not a pile of AI outputs.

Summary

In Dessix, a "Note" is not just a recording tool—it's a vital "digital cell" that carries the seeds of thought.

It is born in the simplest, most universal form, but is given the potential to evolve into "executable workflows (Actions)" and "immersive environments (Scenes)". It is the core medium for users to transform fragmented information into structured wisdom.
