List of Appendices

The appendices hold supporting research that is not yet part of a chapter. They are working notes and will be revised as the book develops.

1. Agent Personas - A sample team of seven agent personas for a researcher's dashboard (Ada, Scout, Marisol, Penny, Rosa, Pixel, and Kai), each with a character sheet, approval rules, and an image prompt.
2. Personal Agent Software - Research notes, gathered in October 2026, on always-on personal AI agent software: SpaceXAI's Grok Bot, OpenAI's Dots, Meta's Muse, Anthropic's Claude Cowork, and the open-source OpenClaw and Hermes Agent. The research compares their architecture, permission models, multi-agent features, pricing, and open questions, and notes that most claims are vendor-stated with no independent testing.
3. Personal Knowledge Graphs - A summary of Dan McCreary's prior research on personal knowledge graphs (PKGs) and how to integrate them securely into an organization's collective knowledge. It covers where PKGs came from, why people use them, the tension between free-form notes and structured knowledge, steps for enterprise integration, and role-based access control.
