greynewell/personal-graph

My own personal graph, complete with any and all structured data about myself that I feel comfortable sharing with the world.

Motivations

I created my own personal graph because I, for ideological reasons, want to build "on my own turf." You may find that ironic if you're reading this on GitHub, but I consider this repository (and my many backups of it) to be my turf for all intents and purposes. My intention is to expose my structured graph data in raw JSON format here, from a trusted public URL, to help people discover me.

Practical Applications

There are a few downstream applications I intend to utilize this graph for:

1. Personal Site Generation: While I developed a landing page hosted at myname.com, it frustrated me that the structured data used by everything from search engines to AI agents to consume my web content was such an afterthought. It seemed to me like the shape, structure, and even the content of my human-readable web pages should stem from the structured data, and not the other way around.

2. Test Data: Very often, I find myself wanting to test something I've created (like schema-driven-astro-starter) with a dataset that I know to be well-structured, complete, and true. While there are many public works that are available for use, for Person related applications, I choose to use my own.

3. Prompt Enrichment: Large Language Models, curious innovations that they be, tend to deliver far better results for in-depth queries based on the information they have about the user. This graph provides a convenient way to provide that context to an LLM all-at-once.

4. AI Agent Development: Thus far into the singularity, I've not felt the need to immortalize myself as an AI Agent. Perhaps the early capabilities of these models wouldn't do my persona justice. Should I ever change my mind, this graph + the corpus of my text communications would be all I needed to make an agent fun :-)

Collaboration

While there are a lot of potentially nasty things you could use this data for (such as trying to take me on a date), I invite you to join me in the spirit of jolly cooperation. Write your own graph, share it, and build something cool with it.
