Hey Product Hunt! 👋 Howz here, creator of Knowns.
I built this out of pure frustration.
Every AI coding session started the same way: copy-paste docs, explain the project structure, remind AI about conventions, paste the task details... then watch AI forget everything in the next chat.
I was spending more time managing AI's memory than actually building my app.
So I asked myself: what if AI could just read the project context itself?
That's how Knowns CLI was born — a task and documentation manager that AI can actually read through MCP integration.
Now when I say "work on task 42", the AI already knows:
→ What the task is
→ Which docs are relevant
→ What conventions to follow
No more copy-pasting. No more "wait, let me give you the context."
The best part? When AI learns something new while coding, it can update the docs automatically. The knowledge loop is finally closed.
Would love to hear how you're currently managing context with AI tools — and happy to answer any questions!
How do you prevent the AI from hallucinating or adding incorrect info to the documentation during the update process?
Context-aware CLIs get really interesting once memory persists across sessions instead of resetting every run. We’ve seen that payoff when turning task history into durable context while building GTWY.
Context loss is THE killer problem for AI-assisted development. @howznguyen Your insight about letting AI read tasks and docs directly resonates deeply—we waste so much time copy-pasting context that gets stale immediately.
The vision of connecting documentation across Backend/Frontend/Mobile is fascinating. Right now, most teams have scattered docs in Notion, code comments, and Slack threads. A self-hosted solution that maintains a central source of truth for AI agents to query would be incredibly powerful.
I'm curious: How does Knowns handle version control for documentation? When docs update, does the AI automatically get the latest context, or is there a manual sync step? For fast-moving teams, keeping AI context fresh without manual intervention is critical.
Wow. Wow wow wow. This is incredible. Installing straight away - your demo video was incredible 🤌🏻
Congrats on launch — love how Knowns turns CLI tasks into real AI-aware workflow.
Howz is my friend, and I'm using Knowns in my stealth startup now. It definitely saved us a lot of time and effort since our team is using Claude Code a lot.
No more copy-pasting context, no more repeating the same prompt, enforcing architecture.
