Congrats on getting this off the ground, and thank you for putting it out there for us to learn from!
I've been curious how Rewind worked under the hood because I've been playing with an idea in my head: an AI assistant that helps you protect your attention.
You would describe the kind of content that you consider a distraction, and any other constraints you have (e.g. "Don't let me watch cat videos unless I'm on a break".
And whenever it sees you watching anything that fits your prompt, it'll pop up on the screen and start a conversation with you to try and understand whether you actually need to consume the content you're looking at.
An AI that intervenes when you're going off track (based purely on how YOU define going off track). Current website blocking approaches aren't useful because they're all-or-nothing. I don't ever want to block entire sites because often there's useful content there relevant for my work. I want to block content on a much more granular level.
And I'd love for an "attention audit" at the end of each day. Attention is our most valuable asset, and I believe protecting it is a worthwhile endeavor... I'd just like some help doing so :).
- baby_souffle 3y agoOh this seems like a wonderful idea. Loads of invasive privacy issues if you’re not doing the detection locally but I’d absolutely use something like this
- koopuluri 3y agoThanks! I agree that everything needs to happen locally, and I believe it's possible. I'd love to better understand the problems you're facing that makes you want to use a tool like this. Couldn't find your email, but if you're interested in chatting, you can find mine in my bio. Would appreciate it!
- jasonjmcghee 3y agoI encourage you to fork this repo and build it. Might be worth checking out Ollama and bakllava. https://ollama.ai/library/bakllava https://ollama.ai/library/bakllava Maybe the model is a bit too slow, but I'm sure smaller ones will come out soon. You can likely fine tune to do exactly what you need.
- koopuluri 3y agoThanks for the share! Will check it out.
