Ask HN: Roast My Startup
Hey HN
Been working on this really hard for quite some time. Need a reality check.
Remindful is an external memory for people with busy lives.
It's like an endless notebook where you can get instant answers about anything you have stored. It works in messenger apps like Whatsapp.
I'm guessing this is in the category of "Productivity Apps", the closest competitors seems to be apps like Evernote.
If you use something like Evernote - at some point it becomes really hard to find stuff, you need to start categorizing, creating folders or labels, etc...
With Remindful you don't have to categorize and search, just ask questions. This is the main differentiator.
Would this be too far out for people to understand?

[ 0.45 ms ] story [ 13.1 ms ] threadThere's two productivity tools I find magical:
1. ChatGPT wired into my command prompt.
2. Dash: https://kapeli.com/dash
Both are fairly cheap, but I guess what I need is speed of access over quantity of storage. It's where most notekeeping apps fail, especially Asana, Notion, Evernote.
Notably both of them work well because I don't have to fill them in. Both dash and ChatGPT are prefilled. To remember a birthday or contact details from a business card, I'd have to put that in. Have you tried uploading business cards to Evernote? I paid for that feature but it still wasn't worth the trouble.
Perhaps because the fastest way is just to add them to the calendar (talking about speed of access).
The idea behind storing notes in a messenger is that it is a simple mental shortcut for "fire and forget" approach to note-taking.
The AI is already pretty good so that it can automatically decide what to do with it.
