Langchain is so scuffed I'm always skeptical about products that claim to be using it in a useful way.

#22Does this record audio the whole time or does it start logging when someone starts talking?
My own tests with whisper have average transcription accuracy at best, I mostly want to just not lose important detail because certain people are allergic to writing things down.
I’ve been using an (increasingly complex) DIY solution, tried Rewind last night but it seems more aimed at search than navigating time (I use mine partially for time tracking).

#23Earlier quoted context omitted.
"one of the first ai powered, self hosted" seems more accurate
Technically Recall (Windows) and Rewind (Mac) are also both self-hosted and don't run on the cloud, but this one is open-source, I think that would be a bigger selling point.
The company behind Rewind has pivoted, maybe bc of the Microsoft announcement; they aren’t going to improve the product. While it was always locally-stored, at least some of the inference against your data goes through their APIs and so self-hosted-ish?

#24Wow, it must have been pretty intense feelings seeing Microsoft reveal exactly the same thing that you've been working on for months. Would you like to share what you experienced and how you coped with it?
There shouldn't be much coping considering that Rewind has been a thing for a long time and is already a giant.
I also work on a similar app (AI-less, though) and my initial though was, nice, more eyes on this sort of apps, I might get some additional sales as a result.

#25Exactly why do I need this technology in my life?
I use an app like this that I built myself. It's great to recap yesterdays work for a standup, or the previous month for a retro. Those are my most regular usages of it, but every now and then I am able to use it to recall something I definitely forgot about ("who was that guy in the meeting" or "which slack channel was that again").
