This morning I got an email from Mark Bernstein noting that Tinderbox will now not only work with major AI models but the app will offer workspace to AI models to take notes for itself.

And Momenta has now issued version 21 of Agenda with the new Ask Agenda AI chat assistant, an on-device model that doesn’t use the cloud, and it has access to your Agenda notes. You can ask questions about your notes in everyday language, get links to the most relevant notes in responses, and limit Ask Agenda queries to notes in date ranges.

To ask follow-up Ask Agenda questions, you’ll need to purchase Agenda Premium, which is either a $34.99 annual subscription or a $119.99 one-time purchase.

Working with **all** AI models is not really the case, out of the box, with Tinderbox 11. There’s a built-in MCP to work with Claude Desktop. It’s certainly possible to roll one’s own integration with other models. The Claude one is nice—but Claude is as much a liar as any AI and will gladly take any prompt to do something with a Tinderbox file, and report success, when in fact Claude did nothing at all.
