A portable, structured artifact that captures the meaningful output of an AI session — decisions made, frameworks developed, golden passages identified, open questions remaining — in a format that any AI can read.
The Seed Doc is what survives context boundaries. It's the single most important output of any AI session — a compressed semantic packet that carries your thinking forward to the next session, the next AI tool, or the next collaborator.
# Why Seed Docs Matters
The Seed Doc is what survives context boundaries. It's the single most important output of any AI session — a compressed semantic packet that carries your thinking forward to the next session, the next AI tool, or the next collaborator.
Recursion compounds. Summarization collapses.. When you summarize without provenance, meaning degrades irreversibly. When you extract structured meaning with source references, each pass makes knowledge MORE valuable. Gen 1 to Gen 2 to Gen 3 — the vault gets wiser, not heavier.
# How Multiplist Solves This
When you save a conversation to Multiplist, extraction automatically produces a Seed Doc — all 9 categories with summary and provenance. Say 'Show me my Seed Doc' and see your own thinking structured in a way you've never seen before.
Product purpose
Extraction, not storage. Citations, not summaries.. Other tools save what you write. Multiplist extracts what you meant — and cites its sources. Every extracted insight traces to exact character positions in the original conversation. When your AI says 'you decided X,' it can prove it.
