https://shkur.ski/notai A tool that automatically shows you relevant information as you work so you don't have to search for things manually. With privacy guarantees.

Being sick of where things are headed, I didn't want to join the "trend". Instead, there is NotAI. I built it for myself first and foremost, as I am:

  1. Too lazy to Alt+Tab into Notion in order to write a note or find it. Instead, I want to select text and write a note in-place. Next time when I see something relevant on screen, I want it to appear.

  2. Usually distracted with the need to structure information manually. If you see it on screen, it should be enough. With NotAI you see a name in messenger -- it adds contact automatically. You see meeting caps -- it memorises them. Etc.

  3. Tired of bloatware, all those 500MB text editors draining the battery. I wanted it to be fast, small and smooth. NotAI is fully native, consumes a few tens of MBs and runs even on modest 5-7 y.o. laptops. It's fully local, meaning no network requests / server-side processing -> reaction time is usually within 40ms.

  4. Sick of marketing bs. Privacy-first products with telemetry and requests to ChatGPT. Attempts to achieve "privacy" by redefining the meaning of it. I no longer believe what I read. If it's private, I want guarantees! So NotAI is fully local. It's a single executable program. You go Windows Defender (or any other firewall) and block it from network. Period.

Here is an old tech demo from last year: https://shkur.ski/notai/demo.mp4
