Interesting
Built a knowledge evaluator that uses Workers AI to score conversation excerpts and routes them to Notion based on confidence — high signal items auto-promote, ambiguous ones wait in a Review Queue for human judgment, and Claude Desktop reads them back via MCP. The bidirectional loop was the interesting part to build.
