SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Deep extraction from source material turns raw transcripts and documents into structured context that can be organized into reference bundles, extraction plans, and tracked discoveries.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Build extraction plans outlining targets (people, decisions, tasks, knowledge, themes) before mining.
  • Systematically extract and route items into appropriate walnuts while updating bundle manifests.
  • Discover and surface new targets (people, topics, cross-links) for follow-up and bundling.

Quick Start

Ask ALIVE to run a deep mine on your current sources to extract context into bundles and walnuts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract structured context from raw documents and transcripts?

You can extract structured context from raw documents and transcripts by running a deep mine that builds extraction plans, surfaces targets like people and themes, and routes items into organized bundles while tracking progress in a manifest.

What is context extraction and how does it help with knowledge management?

Context extraction is the process of turning raw source material into structured knowledge by identifying targets like decisions and tasks, routing them into bundles, and updating reference manifests to maintain organized, discoverable information.

Can I mine loose documents and bundles together to discover new topics?

Yes, you can mine across both bundles and loose sources simultaneously; the discovery process surfaces new targets such as people, subjects, and cross-links for follow-up extraction and bundling.

How do I build an extraction plan before mining source material?

To build an extraction plan, define your targets—such as people, decisions, tasks, knowledge, and themes—before mining begins, then let the process systematically extract and route those items into appropriate destination walnuts.

What's the best way to track progress when mining raw sources for context?

The best way to track progress when mining raw sources is to use a context manifest, which records extraction status, routes items to destination walnuts, and updates reference bundles as sources are mined.
