Seems like "search and summarize your content" is all that most companies trying to get on the hype train can muster.


Maybe it's less about "what they can muster" and more about "what they think is sufficient to appease their investors who are vocally hype-chasing without diverting too many resources"? I think there's merit in sticking with "boring" applications that you have more confidence in there being potential utility in than trying to turn every problem you have into AI-hammerable nails.


Better search is super valuable though.

You don't always have to create new paradigms; integrating existing ideas can work wonders.


One of the more useful things I do manually asking these lines is post long zoom transcripts into Claude and have it summarize it and answer follow up questions. I wish Zoom had it built in.


One step at a time, perhaps?


How do we disable this?

I would consider Github Pages and the Github desktop app to manage commits, if you want a simple setup to manage this.


I can train my mom to copy files, manage commits in github? Not a chance.
