Exploring: the one we most want to pursue right now

grew from

A local-first research tool: a library of links and files you could ask questions of

the problem

Browsers that are intelligent and simply work across platforms are rare. The ones that exist send what you read to someone else's server, or tie you to one vendor's model.

the approach

A browser with the model inside it. Local models first, your own key when you need a bigger one, and a library of pages, files and notes that stays on your machine and can be searched and asked without leaving the window.

what we learned

The first version was a research tool, not a browser: a library you could question. The browser was the part that was missing; the library stays. Local embeddings and on-device search were enough for a personal library, and cheaper than every hosted alternative.

next

Make it a browser. Then make it cross-platform without making it generic.
