Six years old might be too early to incentivize screen use, though I'd encourage you to research this yourself rather than taking internet comments at face value.
That said, I think there's a distinction between screens and computing itself. You could introduce her to computing power through voice interfaces: a smart speaker connected to an LLM could let her search, learn, and interact with information hands-free. You'd have control over the system prompts for safety, and could whitelist reliable sources for her queries.
Yes, visual information density is higher than audio, but the downsides of early screen exposure might outweigh that efficiency gain. Voice-first computing could be a middle ground, she gets to explore what computers can do without the attention/addiction patterns that screens introduce.
Just one perspective, obviously. Worth doing your own research on the developmental tradeoffs.

When I have that need, this is what I do.
I use the info from here as context:
https://github.com/InteractionDesignFoundation/add-event-to-...
I load it via a custom system prompt or skill, then pass my specific need, thought, or anything I want to remember in the future, including events with a certain frequency, as part of the prompt.
From that, I render the URLs needed to create the events directly in my personal calendar via the browser. This part could probably be automated better, but honestly I'm lazy sometimes.
And that's it.
I also try not to overdo it with high-frequency reminders, since that tends to de-incentivize actually using your personal calendar, which kind of defeats the purpose.
On top of that, Telegram 'Saved Messages' with the reminder feature is really useful. The native app makes it very fast to navigate. Obviously not as fast as searching local plain text files, but definitely faster than WhatsApp.

Is that actually required?
I'm not at my computer right now, but as far as I remember most LinkedIn posts are viewable without logging in if you use the direct URLs, for example:
https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:ugcPost:<post_id>
https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:<activity_id>
Unless something changed recently, those links should work anonymously.

I have a similar workflow and I'd like to know how sophisticate is your requirement for annotations, because I solve that part kind of smoothly with Excalidraw

p.s.: YMMV, sometimes works, sometimes it doesn't, most of the time works but there is no determinism

just out of curiosity, what is the difference between this and dspy optimizers?

I’m a bit confused because I don’t clearly understand the value this tool adds. Could you help me understand it?
From what I can see, if the content I want to enrich is static, the web fetch tool seems sufficient. Is this tool capable of extracting information from dynamic websites or sites behind login walls, or is it essentially the same as a web fetch tool that only works with static pages?
I was thinking that downloading the full official documentation, separated by sections inside the repository someone is working on with Zig, could be useful, but maybe there are more optimal ways to approach this.
Thanks.
