I thought about building something along these lines (not the same but vaguely similar).

Then Gemini AI Studio came along with a 1 million token window and allowed me to upload zip files of my entire code base and I lost interest in my own thing.

Yes the long context it's complementary, in other chat services like Gemini you have to rewrite that base context everytime for each new fresh chat, plus they lack of specific data import tools and projects management

It technically handles 1M tokens, but if you ask it questions it's obvious that it's too much to handle.

Just upload a novel and ask it questions, you'll see how it botches simple stuff

Easiest way to prove it can't handle the full context in reality is to upload a one hour documentary movie with audio and ask it to write timestamps of chapters/critical moments. It can't handle this beyond 10 minutes even remotely reliably.

Good or bad it's a zillion times better than Claude or ChatGPT where you can't even upload a zipfile.

Isn't NotebookLM already exactly web and file context (a "ContextChat")?

Edit: I assume it is basically a similar product, but your differentiators are mainly the customer getting to choose their model, and you getting to write your own context adding ergonomics (like adding links from a Sitemap)?

Exactly, similar plus tools to import and manage projects context fast (like GitHub private repos and sitemaps url), multiple ai model and pay per use like using APIs

Cool! I was excited when I saw this and signed up.

One key thing I was hoping for was a consistent resync with source material particularly google docs. Looks like I'll have to download then upload to your app whenever they change.

Is that right? Auto syncing in the plan?

Auto syncing added to the plan!

I appreciate it, thanks and keep building

Nice idea!

I think it would be better if it was just context and not connected to any model. Think of one place where you can hook in your drive folder, GitHub, etc. and have it produce the best context for the task you want to achieve. Then users can copy that to their model or workflow of choice

Thank you, this could be a cool feature too add! For example the ability to click a link that redirects to other chat services with your project base context you built and optionally all the messages sent until there

I tried to solve my own problems that I had while copy and pasting the same starting context from chat to chat. Now I can generate the base context and start new chats from there.

Yes def a needed thing for power users.

You and I are going to end up competing because im evovling my original solution in this space, https://github.com/backnotprop/prompt-tower ... best of luck, great execution thus far.

Thank you, will take a look at your software, competition is always good

Love this. I will give it a try. Beautiful landing page as well.

Thanks so much, if you try it out feel free to leave feedback if you want!

So now our jobs are shifting from doing work, to telling the AI to do work, so now we need management tools to better manage how we are telling the AI to do work.

I must have taken a turn to the wrong timeline.

Yeah. That's how it works with employees, too.

New tools for a new kind of work!
