Intelligent search and analysis for your browsing history

I built Sutra, a Chrome extension that helps you perform intelligent searches and analyses on your own browsing history. Instead of scrolling through a long list of URLs, you can ask questions like: “What are the clothing-related sites I’ve visited?” “What news related to Gaza have I read?” “What do I usually browse late at night?” “Which links do I visit most often?” “What did I open around the time I was on Etsy yesterday?” Sutra turns your browsing history into something you can actually explore, understand, and reflect on. These analyses can be done either through natural language…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

I built Sutra, a Chrome extension that helps you perform intelligent searches and analyses on your own browsing history. Instead of scrolling through a long list of URLs, you can ask questions like: “What are the clothing-related sites I’ve visited?” “What news related to Gaza have I read?” “What do I usually browse late at night?” “Which links do I visit most often?” “What did I open around the time I was on Etsy yesterday?” Sutra turns your browsing history into something you can actually explore, understand, and reflect on. These analyses can be done either through natural language searches or via predefined operations. Privacy & AI All data stays local on your machine. No browsing history is sent to any server by default. AI usage is optional and user-controlled. You can use a local LLM (e.g. via Ollama) or a cloud model if you choose.

Would love your feedback and suggestions. used AI to compose this post as I'm traveling without my laptop

    Web search using a ChatGPT-like model that can cite its sources2022 · beta.sayhello.so · ▲318

    We’ve trained a generative AI model to browse the web and answer questions/retrieve code snippets directly. Unlike ChatGPT, it has access to primary sources and is able to cite them when you hover over an answer (click on the text to go to the source being cited). We also show regular Bing results side-by-side with our AI answer. The model is an 11-billion parameter T5-derivative that has been fine-tuned on feedback given on hundreds of thousands of searches done (anonymously) on our platform. Giving the model web access lessens its burden to need to store a snapshot of human knowledge…

    Turn any website into a knowledge base for LLMs2024 · embedding.io · ▲305

    I built this tool because I wanted a way to just take a bunch of URLs or domains, and query their content in RAG applications. It takes away the pain of crawling, extracting content, chunking, vectorizing, and updating periodically. I'm curious to see if it can be useful to others. I meant to launch this six months ago but life got in the way...

    Learn Japanese contextually while browsingDec 2025 · lingoku.ai · ▲92

    Hi HN, Just wanted to share a tool i've been working on to help with my own study routine. It’s a browser extension called Lingoku. The idea is simple: we spend hours browsing the web in English every day. This tool replaces some of the english words with Japanese vocabulary based on your japanese level (Similar to Toucan, but with a better user experience). It’s basically an attempt to make the "i+1" method actually passive, you understand the sentence because it's mostly english, but you pick up Japanese words naturally from the context. It uses an LLM in the backend to make sure the…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
