EchoLogos: Your Mnemonic Archive
An EdTech app that uses voice commands to automatically create and schedule spaced repetition flashcards from your spoken thoughts and learning moments. It helps you build a lasting personal knowledge base by turning fleeting insights into retained wisdom.
Inspired by the fragmented memory of 'Memento', the grand knowledge preservation of Asimov's 'Foundation', and the efficiency of a 'Voice Commands' scraper, EchoLogos is an EdTech solution for the modern, overloaded learner.
The Story & Concept:
In 'Memento', Leonard uses notes and tattoos to remember crucial facts, creating an external system to combat his memory loss. Similarly, modern learners consume vast amounts of information from podcasts, audiobooks, and lectures, but most of it is lost due to the natural forgetting curve. EchoLogos acts as this external memory system. The goal is not just to take notes, but to build a personal 'Foundation'—a structured, long-term knowledge base of concepts that truly matter to you, built incrementally from fleeting spoken thoughts.
How It Works:
EchoLogos is a voice-first mobile application designed for frictionless capture and automated learning.
1. Capture (The Voice Command): The user has a simple, quick-access interface (e.g., a widget on their phone's home screen). Whenever they encounter an interesting fact, an idea, or a concept they want to remember, they tap the button and speak a natural language note. For example: 'Hey EchoLogos, remember that in Asimov's Foundation, psychohistory is a fictional science that uses mathematical sociology to predict the future of large populations.'
2. Process (The AI Scraper): In the background, the app uses a series of simple API calls:
- Transcription: The voice note is transcribed into text using a speech-to-text API (like OpenAI's Whisper).
- Summarization & Formatting: The raw text is sent to a language model (like GPT-3.5-Turbo) with a prompt engineered to 'act like a learning assistant'. The AI identifies the core concept, cleans up the grammar, and reframes the information into a concise Question/Answer pair.
- -Example Output:-
- Question: 'What is psychohistory in Asimov's Foundation?'
- Answer: 'It is a fictional science that combines history, sociology, and mathematical statistics to make general predictions about the future of large groups of people.'
3. Reinforce (The Memento Method): This newly created digital flashcard is automatically added to the user's personal deck and scheduled for review using a built-in Spaced Repetition System (SRS) algorithm. The app will send a notification at optimal intervals (e.g., in a day, then three days, then a week) to prompt the user to recall the information, effectively cementing it into their long-term memory. Over time, the user builds a robust, searchable, and deeply internalized personal 'Foundation' of knowledge, all from simple, spoken commands.
