Hey friends! I'm Richard co-founder of reconfigured - an AI-assisted journaling style note-taking app for analysts
Working with data is closer to being a detective than a software engineer. Most of the time you can’t predict the exact steps needed to solve a problem, let alone what the end-result will be.
What matters most is the discoveries you make along the way - trials and errors, nuances, your thought process. These are almost always scribbles in your notebook, digital or physical.
Our goal is to give analysts a tool that makes it incredibly easy to track your data quests and make that knowledge accessible to colleagues.
If you’re ever played games like Skyrim or Fallout, you’ll find the UI and mechanics very familiar. Hence the word quests. :)
The app is very much modelled after quest journals:
- Quests have a loose title and summary
- You usually have one quest active at a time
- New todos and steps are uncovered as you progress
Some highlight features that our users love:
- Hotkeys - show/hide journal with a button, directly add notes to active quests with another.
- In addition to written notes, adding screenshots, automatic code highlight and voice notes
- Chat with your thought process - the embedded AI let’s you discuss your findings, sort through them or remind you what were you thinking in the past.
We’re an early-stage startup from Helsinki, Finland and after a hard pivot we’re finally launching our new product.
It’s free to use, with upgrade options for extra functionality and teams.
Our ambition is to create a JIRA alternative that isn’t centered around tickets, cards and points - but rather connected journals.
We’re building this with data/analytics teams’ workflows in mind, but feedback has been that this could fit other, research-heavy type of work, e.g. product discovery, user research, academic work, even journalism.
