Ctrl+F Finds Words. I Wanted It to Find Answers

What it does

Ctrl+F is one of those things I use hundreds of times a week, and it has never once understood what I meant. It finds letters. If the curl docs call it --user-agent and I type “pretend to be a browser”, I get nothing. So I built Hunch, a find bar that finds answers instead of words. For the past 4 years all we hear nonstop is just AI. Every news article, every app, every tool, everything is drenched in it. At first it was really cool, especially for me, someone who has always been into ML and who was excited about GPT-1 when I finished uni (checks date)… 8 years ago. I used to have it generate random D&D scenarios for this Discord server I own, and it was a lot of fun. And…from blog.tymscar.com
