I built it for myself. After a lot of iterations, this is getting some traction. It helps me organize my personal life. Still trying to figure out what else it needs to do, and what can be improved. Please provide feedback!

    Initially, we thought about this feature due to a bug in our chat interface. And surprisingly, I noticed that POE has just released the same feature. But the distinction is: with us the Multi-bot is designed to streamline the notetaking/working experience -> It allows user to search for external knowledge without switching context Though we are still in the beta phase, I would love to hear your thought/feedback on it :)

    Memno▲104

    We built Memno. We like to think of Memno as an AI chief of staff. Every photo, document, and voice note you share becomes searchable memory. Ask "What did we decide about Q4?" and it pulls from all your sources. Can also make calls and send texts on your behalf (with approval!) Each user gets their own isolated environment with dedicated vector database, metadata storage, and object storage instances. Some highlights: - Complete data isolation per user (no shared databases), encrypted at rest - Sub-50ms vector search - Document processing pipeline for OCR/transcription/object…

    Hey HN, I built MindDraft because I was tired of task apps that made ME do all the work. After 18 months of solo development, I'm sharing it here. *What's different:* 1. Location-based reminders - "Buy groceries" alerts when you're near a grocery store, not at an arbitrary time. Uses iOS geofencing. 2. Smart Actions - Tasks have action buttons. "Call dentist" → tap to call. "Pay rent" → opens payment app. Tasks become actions, not just reminders. 3. Task → Expense - Complete "Buy laptop $1200" and it auto-logs as an expense. No separate expense app. 4. Natural language AI - "Meeting with…

    I’ve always been curious about big, complex topics; things like quantum computing, AI ethics, or philosophy, but I’d often get stuck at the very beginning. I’d open a dozen tabs, skim Wikipedia, and still not feel like I had a good mental model of what I was even looking at. So I built a tool to help with that. You type in any topic, and it generates a simple mind map; just a few high-level subtopics to start. Then, as you click and explore those nodes, it expands outward with more specific, connected concepts. The map grows with your curiosity. It’s intentionally lightweight and…

    I'm a Machine Learning engineer. Struggled with consistency for months on my goals, life etc, so I built something to help myself (zropi.com) but that surprised me or shocked me literally. It’s an AI companion that feels alive: chats like a person. Pauses, emotions, personality. Sends voice notes when it's excited about something or whenever it wants (has its like own mind). Shares photos of itself. But the memory It remembers EVERYTHING. Not just facts context, preferences, random things I mentioned. Last week I asked "how's that thing I told you about going?" and it knew exactly what I…
