Yes it would be the next big focus on this. Personal data connectivity is what I see where local AI would excel - despite model power differences.

I have doubts about that. Most personal data actually lives in the cloud these days. If you need your Gmail emails, you'll need to use their API which is guarded behind $50k certification fee or so. I think there is a simpler version for personal use, but you still need to get the API key. Who's going to teach their mom about API keys? So I think for a lot of these data sources you'll end up with enterprise AIs integ…

What?

I manage both gmail and protonmail via thunderbird - where I have better search and sort using IMAP.

I would even let it have longer processing times for queries to apply against each document in my system, allow it to specialize/train itself on a daily basis… Use all the resources you want if you save me brainpower

Agree, there's a non real-time angle to this.

"give me a summary of the news around this topic each morning for my daily read"

Help me plan for upcoming meetings whereby if I put something in calendar, it will build a little dossier for the event, and include relevant info based on the type of event or meeting, mostly scheduling reminders or prompting you with updates or changes to the event etc.

> Full Text Search. Blazingly fast search over thousands of messages. Natural language processing has come full circle and just reinvented Ctrl+F. I had to double check that a regular '90s search function was actually the thing being advertised here, and sure enough, there is a gif demonstrating exactly that.

Yeah, I think the call out here is specifically because you the ChatGPT interface doesn't have a search feature (on web). Interestingly, on their iOS app, you can search.

I often find myself opening the app on my phone if I want to find a previous conversation, even if I'm at my desk.

Hey, i bought it, nice work! A few things: * The main thing that makes ChatGPTs ui useful to me is the ability to change any of my prompts in the conversation & it will then go back to that part of the converation and regenerate, while removing the rest of the conversation after that point. Such a chat ui is not usable for me without this feature. * The feedback button does nothing for me, just changes focus to chrom…

Thank you for the support and the valuable feedback! Sorry about the response time, I haven't expected the incoming volume of requests.

* For changing prompt in the middle - I'll take a crack at it this week. It's on top of my post launch list.

* Feedback button: Thanks for reporting this. The button was supposed to open default email client to email feedback@recurse.chat

* LLaVA model: I'll add more documentation. You are right Llava could not generate images. It can only describe images (similar to GPT-4v). For image generation, it's not supported in the app. While I don't have immediate plans for image generation, check out these projects for local image generation.

Good question, I'll put some system requirements on the website. It only supports mac with Apple Silicon now, if that's helpful.

Instant buy, great work and the price point is exactly right. Good luck!

Appreciate your support. Thank you so much!

Hey there, This is Gabe, the founder of Zenfetch. Thanks for sharing. We're putting together an export option where you can download all your saved data as a CSV and should get that out by end of week.

Seems like this would be a good tool to build lessons on - if you could share a "class" and export a link for others to then copy the class, and expand on the lesson/class/topic into their own AI. but as a separate "class" and not fully integrated to my regular history blob? I want the ability to search all my downloaded files and organize them based on context within. Have it create a category table, and allow me to…

We're working on the ability to share folders of your knowledge so that others can search/chat across them.

We've been thinking of this as a "subscription" to the creator's folder. Similar to how you might subscribe to a Spotify playlist

Agreed, but what I would also really like (from this and ChatGPT) would be branching: take a conversation in two different ways from some point and retain the seperate a…

Nice suggestion! Threading / branching won't be too crazy to support. I'll explore ChatGPT style branch or threads and see what'll work better.

The app is great but honestly I'm impressed with the home page! Can you go into more details on how you made the home page? What did you use to make the screenshots, and are you using any tools to generate the HTML/CSS/etc?

Seriously? It grinds my phone to a near halt just trying to scroll from top to bottom. Worse in Firefox but still pretty bad in chrome.

Interesting. I was using my PC to view it and it was fast and beautiful.
