AI captures tacit expert knowledge

Capturing "tribal knowledge" is the next frontier for domain-specific AI, especially as industries face the "Silver Tsunami" of retiring experts.

• –Theoretical training on books fails to capture the "know-how" of physical trades; iterative AI-guided interviews are emerging as the solution.
• –Startups like Interloom are building "Context Graphs" to turn expert workflows into permanent, queryable AI memory.
• –Passive capture tools like Limitless (recently acquired by Meta) point to a future where expertise is mined from daily actions rather than manual documentation.
• –The market is moving from "RAG on docs" to "RAG on experience," which is essential for high-stakes industries like manufacturing and carpentry.
