Working on a tool to create and chat with curations of the internet.
Yep we have an integration that allows you to sync your bookmarks. This will grab the content from all your previous bookmarks as well as new bookmarks
We're actively thinking through ways to support a local version. Most of our users prefer being able to access the best models but seems like Mistral will have something comparable soon.
I actually use Readwise as well! For a workaround I imported all the URLs from Readwise into Zenfetch but a full Readwise integration is on the roadmap.
We’re actively working on a way to save from mobile but chat from mobile will take a bit longer
Haven’t considered bookmarklet, what would that make better for you? Also you can import a CSV of URLs today if Pinboard has an export option
Yep we do support PDF upload today
Couldn’t have said it better myself! We do want to support a local version in the future as local models get better. However today you can upload PDFs. If there’s any other file types you want to upload let us know!
Thank you! We actually do have a few integration options already including Pocket. We also allow you to import a CSV of URLs. More integrations coming soon!
Hey great question. We consider the following a good fit for us:
- In terms of role, we’ve found prosumers (specifically content creators) get a lot of value out of being able to take their previous writing/research and generate new ideas or rough drafts
- People whose job relies on collecting a lot of information such as founders, consultants, coaches, etc. have also been power users
- Finally anyone who tends to consume a lot of content whether it’s videos, blogs, newsletters, or books has found value in being able to quickly find the source or context for the idea they were thinking of
Thanks! Saved tweets is our next integration : )
Totally fair. Our priority is allowing you to index anything regardless of what ecosystem it came from
Perfect we’re working on a way to save from mobile that should be ready by the middle of next week
Thanks for the feedback! We're working on making our extension cross-browser compatible. For the iOS experience, what's the highest priority for you: being able to save things from iOS or access chat/other functionality?
No API just yet, but if there's an integration you're looking for let us know and we will prioritize that. Thanks!
Thank you! Vannevar Bush is a huge inspiration for us
Yep you can! We support adding notes form Google Docs and Notion. You can also upload PDFs. Are your notes in a different format?
Great question. A couple ways we see ourselves differentiating:
1. We're adding more and more integrations to become your knowledge assistant over your entire knowledge not just what you read online. This includes your notes, content, emails, etc.
2. We're working on doing more than just search over your knowledge. Many of our users use us to brainstorm topics for new content, compare and contrast perspectives across articles, or even create first drafts of content.
3. We're implementing features soon that will allow our model to create a "preference graph" for each user so that overtime the responses get more and more personalized to what you're looking for.
Thanks for the thoughts. I actually use Workona and love it haha
Thanks! Right now don't have automatic integrations for those yet but we do allow you to individually save emails and docs. Full integrations and sync for Drive and Email coming soon!
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.
Edit: changed to say AI now
Hey, good question. Rem and it's closed source competitor Rewind capture everything on your screen. Zenfetch only captures information that you explicitly add to Zenfetch. We've found that using a curated approach as opposed to capturing everything allows us to do two things:
1. Return much higher quality answers than Rem/Rewind as the information we store are items you thought were important at some point.
2. Allow us to help you remember that information with proactive features like our recap emails.

Hey everyone! Akash and Gabe here from Zenfetch (https://www.zenfetch.com) - a Chrome extension that transforms your saved web browsing into a personal chatGPT and search engine. Here’s a demo video: https://www.loom.com/share/abe9d40dc82545a482be55b631f9bf2a?...How it works: (1) Optionally import your existing saved web browsing through one of our integrations or through a URL CSV import.

Makes a lot of sense. This might work for your use case:

Hey - Akash from Zenfetch here. We’ve actually tested some of our features with local models and have found that they significantly underperform compared to hosted models. With that said, we are actively working on new approaches to offer a local version of Zenfetch.
In the meanwhile, we do have agreements in place with all of our AI providers to ensure none of our users information is used for training or any other purpose. Hope that helps!
Hey, Akash from Zenfetch here. Fair question. As with any LLM based product, we can't guarantee there won't be any hallucinations. Empirically, we've seen very few instances. We have checkers in place to reduce the risk, and always cite the source material as an escape hatch so you can see where information came from

Hey everyone! Akash and Gabe here from Zenfetch - a chrome extension to help you remember more of what you read. Zenfetch makes it easy to index any content from across the web into a neural search engine and AI chat. Try the chrome extension at https://www.zenfetch.com/?utm_source=hacker_news.How it works:1. Optionally sync your bookmarks and/or Pocket saves. Zenfetch will continue to sync...
This is the exact problem we're solving at
https://www.zenfetch.com. Right now, as you're working in Google Docs we surface anything you've saved that's relevant. Will be working on a search integration and other PKM/text editor integrations soon.
