In the future, Ill likely use this feature every day to get answers for my notes. The good thing is that, in contrast to regular AI, which uses a web search to find the first few articles for a question and uses those as context, in Readwise I know that all the highlights I marked before as important and worth remembering make the answer much more valuable. But with all content, you get out what you feed it. If you read and highlight shallow articles or view things only from one side, your AI answers will be shallow and biased.

With the introduction of the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) (MCP), an open standard that facilitates seamless integration between large language models (LLMs) and external data sources and tools, it is now possible to use external tools to interact with my highlights. Last month, Readwise released an [MCP](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@readwise/readwise-mcp), which I used to connect [Raycast](/raycast/) AI with their new [MCP feature](https://manual.raycast.com/model-context-protocol), allowing direct interaction with my highlights.

There are many people who think AI is bad for writing because it might replace the writer. However, AI is a great tool to accelerate the writing process and improve the understanding of the notes. I dont see an issue with using AI to help me cut down on the time this work takes. I always read, check, and understand the output of AI and correct it when it produces incorrect output.
