Unless it's entirely self-hostable and/or runs entirely locally on the user's machine, it's a hard pass from me. Also, this marketing copy makes your product sound a lot more like some kind of AI hype scam than an actual product: > What if we could use technology to augment our memory the same way a hearing aid can augment our hearing? This question is why we founded Rewind. > > Our vision is to give humans perfect memory. > > We are building a search engine for your life.

  That was a pretty good Black Mirror episode!

    Fantastic episode! “The Entire History of You” The biggest difference is that I believe we would all be more honest with one another if we had perfect memory. It would prevent more marital strife than it would create.

      I hope you're right, because that world is probably coming, but to play devil's advocate: The biggest difference is that I believe we would all be more honest with one another if we had perfect memory. This reminds me of Mark Zuckerberg believing the world would be a better place if we couldn't have multiple identities, because multiple identities showed a lack of integrity. It would prevent more marital strife than it would create. It depends on which way the causality goes in "forgive and forget"!

        Good points. To be more precise, my point was more practical and less utopian. The main characters in this episode lie in a way that could easily be proven wrong. It’s fun to watch and dramatic, but I think unrealistic in a world of perfect memory.

It runs locally on your machine. > Also, this marketing copy makes your product sound a lot more like some kind of AI hype scam than an actual product Yea, I can see your perspective. We're still in stealth mode so will be more forthcoming soon. For more context, here is the full founding story: I started to go deaf in my 20s. When I turned 30, a hearing aid changed my life. To lose a sense and gain it back again feels like gaining a superpower. Ever since that moment, I’ve been on a hunt for ways technology can augment human capabilities and give us superpowers. That hunt ultimately led me to memory. Studies show 90% of memories are forgotten after a week. Just like going deaf, our memory gets worse as we get older. But does it have to? If we have hearing aids for hearing and glasses for vision, what’s the equivalent for memory? What if we could use technology to augment our memory the same way a hearing aid can augment our hearing? This question is why we founded Rewind. Our vision is to give humans perfect memory. We are building a search engine for your life.
