Launch HN: Zenfetch (YC W23) – Turn notes/browser history into an AI assistant

Re:Launch HN: Zenfetch (YC W23) – Turn notes/browser history... by breadchris on Thursday February 15, 2024 @02:05PM (#39386956)

I have been building something similar [1] with the goal to make it easy to save and share things you find. I will not use SaaS for saving content anymore as I find myself wanting to build larger compositions of work and dealing with APIs just isn't it. Maybe the SaaS works today, but you will always end up wanting a plaintext, offline-first experience.

This looks cool! A few notes on our approach to Zenfetch:

1. We're not trying to become your personal knowledge management solution, we want to be the layer on top that helps you retrieve and use the knowledge you've stored.

2. The biggest reason we don't do this locally is we've found hosted models are much more powerful for the knowledge retrieval and synthesis use cases. However. we do hope to move more local over time.

Depending on who your market is (sales leads, researchers, developers) it may not make sense to support local/OSS. Posting this on hn will always bring a bearded dev, me, into the comments to rant about the way things should be, but this doesn't always reflect the path to product success. Right now your tool is too general, find a use case and crush it. Find some inspiration from this ext: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/workona-spaces-tab...
