It would be a game-changer for me to have Lex be able to search and give feedback on my notes in Roam Research. That would lock me in to using Lex every day and unlock powerful new uses for Lex in my personal and professional life!

Hey Josh K, thanks for the feedback here! Out of interest, what sort of workflow do you foresee with Lex syncing with Roam? Is it primarily Ask Lex, running some kind of Check based on your Roam data, something else? Just so we've got your use case in mind!

Fred Rivett thanks for asking! What would be ideal? I'd like to be able to use Lex like I do with all the content I have in Roam. I want to be able to ask Lex questions about it. I have almost 4 years of data in it. All of my Kindle highlights. Everything I've written. I want to be able to search the data, ask questions of it, make connections, and yes, run checks. While running checks is a nice way to start thinking about how to use Lex with my writing, I am finding far more depth and creative questions that I can ask Lex and I want to be able to do that with that data.
Examples:
What connections do you see with article A & articles B, C, & G?
What have I written that I can use for X?
What notes have I written more than 6 months ago that relate directly and indrectly to topic Y?
This of course would require Lex to be able to make sense of 100's of thousands of words across thousands of notes.
Is that specific enough of a use case for you? Does it raise other questions?

Love this Josh K, especially the premise of pulling in related thoughts, taking those dots and connecting them.
Being able to pull in existing docs is definitely on our roadmap, we're just not sure which shape it'll take just yet, but these are super helpful. Can't make any promises about a Roam integration, but will definitely let you know if we have any more questions as we plan that feature out.
