It's definitely not the first, that's kind of a weird and also fundamentally hard to prove claim.
Also, I'm still not entirely sure why this is any better than other solutions. The landing page has a remarkable lack of information. At face value it sounds like spyware, if I wanted to assume malintent.
Originally, Remind was supposed to be called Recall AI, a project I have been working on since last December. However, last week I was watching a video about the new Copilot+ laptops and noticed they featured the same functionality with the same name. So, I decided to open-source the project, rename it to Remind, and publish the landing page as quickly as possible. The reason I believe Remind will be better than other solutions is that it will be completely local, free, and private for users. I provided a demo, a link to the GitHub repository with all the code, and some information on how I implemented the solution. Since I launched it quickly, the site is obviously rushed, but you can check the public code—it is not a spyware at all. Although I'm just at the beginning, it already looks quite promising compared to existing paid and non-private solutions.
This still doesn’t address the claim that ‘first’ is wrong, and that sort of hyperbole, if wrong, is quite off-putting. If this is really ‘quite promising compared to existing…solutions’, there’s no need for inflated claims.
