Are there any plans to releasing a desktop app? It would be nice to combine the current use case with a "chat with my documents/pdfs" flavor as well.

#52Does this have the hallucination problems that LLMs show? Do you offer any protection against that?

#53I am pretty sure this is what Microsoft is trying to do.

#54When will this be available on safari?
It's part of the roadmap, likely releasing in Q2 Is that your browser of choice?
Also find myself having a pretty severe allergic reaction to websites (Gem is a recent example) roadblocking anything but Chrome (seemingly both because of their web app literally not functioning properly in Safari, and their browser extension being Chrome-only):
a) essentially forcing me to use Chrome for one task, whilst deal with password management in two places, etc., and

#55It’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

#57Very cool! Index my Google Email, Drive, and Calendar. "Find the receipt for that TV I bought from Best Buy 7 years ago."
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!

#58Safari support would be great. Any chance of a self hosted version?

#59Adding articles to Zenfetch separately every time, seems quite inconvenient. Allowing users to sync articles from different RSS feeds (say Newsblur), or their reading app libraries (such as Omnivore/Pocket) seems like a good solution to this problem.
