Hello HN, I’m Kamil. The past months have been filled with news about ChatGPT, Bard, etc. Thankfully, there are some heroic attempts to bring that power to the users. I wanted to contribute to that effort with my side project, an extension for Chrome: it makes searching the history by meaning – instead of the exact words – possible.

While Cursor has already revolutionized coding, you can still configure it to perform even better based on your language and framework. That's why we created Cursor Directory, a collection of the best cursor rules for your framework and language from the community.

I built Gemini Cursor, an open-source multimodal AI cursor that guides users through tasks on their desktop by pointing and speaking. It leverages Gemini 2.0 Flash and Google's live multimodal API to analyze what's on screen and provide real-time assistance. In this demo, my friend tries to add a payment method to Amazon, and the AI cursor walks them through the entire process with visual cues and spoken instructions. I've also used it to interpret diagrams from research papers—curious to see what other use cases people find this useful for! Demo:…
