Show HN: A multi-modal and AI first Knowledge Management System (anyscribe.io)

4 points by pk97 ↗ HN
User Very much a work in progress, but building a LLM first PKMS (Personal Knowledge Management System). Here's what it allows you to do: - Express yourself in the way you want: supports text, whiteboards, OCR, audio and videos. Just dump info in the way you want. - Comprehension and brainstorming: convert say whiteboard scribble to a diagram or text to chart. - Notebook to interactive mindmaps using AI. You can also chat against the mindmap - Export your notebook as content. Be it a blogpost or a newsletter or whatever. - Chat support with references back to your notes across your whole knowledgebase.

Look forward to hearing feedback. It's very early and I am a solo dev doing this part-time.

Sounds great I’d love to take a look. But when I load from mobile I get a “mobile not supported”

It’s fine if it geared to desktop or you haven’t gotten around to optimizing a mobile ui. But a landing page would be nice so I can see what this is about. Maybe some gifs or screenshots

Thank you so much for trying out and the feedback! I just made the landing page responsive. It was a lack of foresight on my part.

This looks super interesting. I had an idea to make something like this 2 years ago when I was super into PKMS' but AI wasn't as advanced back then.

What would you say have been the biggest challenges bringing this to life?

Thank you so much Juan, your comment made my day!

I'll be really honest - I am still trying to figure out just the right UX. In its current form, many users are probably not able to get what this is all about. I have been unable to get feedback directly, but this is just my hunch.

There are a few other challenges such as comparisons to Notion etc. But those will always be there.

Yeah I get that point of the UX. Since almost all PKMS out there have their own way of handling info and all need like a manual or tutorial to understand how the tool works.

The direct user feedback is always a challenge. I'm assuming you've tried a "mom test" approach before to glean some insights (and if not you definitely should)

Keep at it, mate!

Thank you Juan for the positive encouragement! I didn't know about "Mom Test" until I started putting AnyScribe out there and this is the third time I am getting the reco! I better read it!

Here's my latest update on AnyScribe by the way! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzSZg9lir9A

You Should definitely read it. That way you won't be wasting time throwing stuff to a wall and see what sticks (I've been there).

And thanks for sharing that update, I like seeing how this evolves.
