Show HN: Urpal – An AI-powered productivity canvas for file notes and tasks

Hi HN,

Built URPAL – an AI assistant that converts emails and call recordings into professional file notes for legal/consulting work.

*Tech:* React + Node.js + PostgreSQL + OpenAI GPT-4o + Stripe *Key innovation:* Smart detection of communication direction (did you send/receive the email? make/receive the call?) using pattern matching, not just AI guessing.

*Live at:* https://urpal.com.au (14-day free trial, then AUD $15/month)

The trickiest part was building bulletproof logic for email/call direction detection – turns out simple rules work better than complex AI analysis for this specific problem.

Currently processing real client communications for Australian insurance professionals. Would appreciate feedback on the technical approach and whether this solves a real pain point for other documentation-heavy professions.
