Howdy Product Hunt! 😸 I'm Gabe, the cofounder of Zenfetch along with Akash Mandavilli. We're excited to launch Zenfetch, a Chrome extension that turns your web browsing into an actionable knowledge base. We built Zenfetch for those who want to not only store but truly leverage the wealth of information they encounter online. If you’re like me, you’re sick and tired of the thousands of read-it-later apps. They may as well be called “forget-it-forever” apps. We’re here to shift the discussion towards leveraging AI to augment your memory. 🧠 Zenfetch is dead simple to use: 👉 Signup and optionally sync your existing content with our integrations 👉 Click the Zenfetch button on any tab to save it to your zenfetch library 👉 Neural Search & Chat with your knowledge from the dashboard or directly in the tab using our Ask Zenfetch feature Oh, and Zenfetch sends you refresher emails with takeaways to make sure you don’t forget those important details the next day. 😮‍💨 Start your journey with a 14-day free trial, no credit card required, and see how Zenfetch can elevate your creative processes. Happy to answer any questions and looking forward to your thoughts, Happy Zenfetching!

I recently tried out the new AI-powered personal search engine and assistant ZenFetch. Transforming my web content into a searchable database I can easily converse with is appealing. However, I encountered some issues in my initial trials with the platform. Importing links into ZenFetch felt sluggish, taking 1-3 seconds per link. The user interface also felt unintuitive and buggy at times - the settings wheel would spin when I tried to update preferences, and chatting with my content resulted in similar lag and spinning. I noticed a lot of errors in the console, primarily related to OTS parsing failures. Considering other tools already offer similar functionality to organize and search my content, the issues I ran into with ZenFetch gave me pause. The subscription pricing also felt steep, given that this seems like an app still in its very early stages of development. There is promise in the core concept, but the execution still feels clunky. I'm providing this honest feedback with the hope that the developers can refine ZenFetch into a smoother, more robust platform. But as it currently stands, the bugs, lag, and unintuitive interface hampered my initial experience. I may revisit ZenFetch once some more kinks are worked out.

Just dove into Zenfetch, and wow, I'm impressed! 🌟 Gabe and Akash, you've truly created something unique for the digital age. Turning web content into an AI-powered personal search engine and assistant is brilliant. 🧠✨ At [OpenDigg](https://www.opendigg.com/), we're all about showcasing AI tools that enhance productivity and learning, making Zenfetch a perfect addition. The idea of saving, conversing with, and actually using the vast information we come across daily is a game-changer. No more "forget-it-forever" apps, just engaging, memorable interactions with our saved content. 🚀 Can't wait to feature Zenfetch on our platform and help our community discover this innovative approach to online knowledge management. Hats off to you for making learning and remembering as easy as chatting with a friend. 🎉👏 Happy Zenfetching!

Wow love this tool and idea! Definitely have found myself trying to remember and find articles I had once read and this looks like the perfect solution and then some.

Super smart concept @gabe_villasana I keep saying AI is only cool if you're actually using it. Bookmarks and browser history feel like super clunky browsing features in 2024 so this is pretty rad! I just installed it 🤙 looking forward to the next version.

Congratulations on the launch! Zenfetch is just amazing; it turns the notes and browser history into AI's knowledge base! Game-changing!

Tackling one of the trickiest new problems - there is no set blueprint for creating a digital brain! I think your approach is really smart and your emphasis on proactively surfacing insights is crucial.

So great to see Zenfetch in here! Been using it for a couple of months, at this point I have almost 2,000 articles saved. Really speeds up learning when you can chat with this much knowledge simultaneously.

This looks amazing! I have a lot of articles currently bookmarked in my browser. Can Zenfetch retrieve information from those links as well?

Congrats team, this is super cool! Gonna give it a try now. Is there any way to make this work with offline document storage? Would love to hear your thoughts!

I found the daily summaries to be a lot more useful than I thought they would be (my first instinct was to turn them off, but was glad I kept them on!)

So excited to try this. Can Zenfetch work with paywalled content? I’m mostly saving the articles I pay for.
