It’s interesting. How do you see this comparing to Pocket, Readwise, and Dewey? I think many Read Later apps will add AI search on top

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.

When will this be available on safari?

It's part of the roadmap, likely releasing in Q2 Is that your browser of choice?

Safari is my current everyday browser, but anything that isn't based on almost anything modern that isn't tainted by the chrome should be fine.

Just like IE 6 I refuse to touch it if I can at all prevent it.

(Feel free to join in folks. We can do this, IE was much better entrenched at its worst.)

I’m using zenfetch intensely for research using my own work (hundreds of podcast episodes and blog/forum posts) and others’ (books, articles, and more). Results so far are largely excellent, with the occasional bug fixed quickly. RAG as a service is tremendously beneficial and zenfetch means you don’t have to roll your own.

Looks great! At first glance, this appears to be the service I've been searching for. I'm currently using raindrop to bookmark items I intend to read later, but its search and recollection functionality leaves much to be desired.

I'm definitely going to give it a try. However, for it to become a permanent part of my routine, it would need a Safari browser extension and an iOS app (compatible with both iPhone and iPad) to allow easy sharing and saving of content from within other apps. Stuff that Raindrop supports.

Additionally, is there an API available so that I can manually script or route content from currently unsupported sources?
