Turn scattered thoughts into organized action with Brainstream - an AI-powered note-taking app with an intelligent assistant that doesn't just answer questions, it takes action for you. Capture ideas in seconds (voice, text, photos), then let your AI assistant do the heavy lifting: create tasks from your notes, organize with smart tags, summarize content, and deliver daily + weekly briefs that transform chaos into clarity.
Hey everyone! Maker here.
This started because my wife needed a simple note-taking app. She'd tried Notion, Obsidian, and a bunch of others but they all felt like she needed a PhD just to organize her thoughts. She wanted something where she could just dump what's on her mind and move on with her day.
So I built her a basic note-taking app. Voice memos, quick text notes, snap a photo - 30 seconds and done.
But then she'd say things like "I know I wrote something about that dentist appointment somewhere.." and spend 10 minutes scrolling through notes. So I added semantic search: ask a question in plain English and it finds the right notes by meaning, not just keywords.
Then came the moment that changed everything. She'd capture tons of ideas and tasks throughout the day but never go back to actually act on them. Sound familiar? That's when I thought what if the AI didn't just help you search, but actually did things for you?
So now you can tell the AI "create a task to call the dentist tomorrow" and it just...does it. It creates tasks, organizes your notes with tags, even drafts calendar events. It's less of a chatbot and more of an assistant that gets things done.
The feature I'm personally most proud of is Daily & Weekly Briefs. Every morning you get a summary of what you captured yesterday, what's due today, and what needs your attention. Every week you get the bigger picture: themes, patterns, things that fell through the cracks. It basically turns a mess of scattered notes into a clear action plan without you lifting a finger.
I also added an evening closeout, a quick end-of-day ritual where you see what you got done, jot down any loose thoughts, and preview tomorrow. My wife says it's the thing that finally made her feel "on top of things."
We're live on Android and web with iOS coming soon. Would love your feedback, especially on what you'd want from an AI note-taking assistant. What would make you
actually switch from your current setup?
