Yes it would be the next big focus on this. Personal data connectivity is what I see where local AI would excel - despite model power differences.

- chaostheory 3y agoYeah, we’re getting closer to “Her”
- _boffin_ 3y agoGood to know there's a market for that. Currently building out something. Integrating from numerous sources, processing and then utilizing those. nice.
- ssnri 3y agoI would even let it have longer processing times for queries to apply against each document in my system, allow it to specialize/train itself on a daily basis… Use all the resources you want if you save me brainpower
- xyc 3y agoAgree, there's a non real-time angle to this.
- samstave 3y ago"give me a summary of the news around this topic each morning for my daily read" Help me plan for upcoming meetings whereby if I put something in calendar, it will build a little dossier for the event, and include relevant info based on the type of event or meeting, mostly scheduling reminders or prompting you with updates or changes to the event etc.

- Satam 3y agoI have doubts about that. Most personal data actually lives in the cloud these days. If you need your Gmail emails, you'll need to use their API which is guarded behind $50k certification fee or so. I think there is a simpler version for personal use, but you still need to get the API key. Who's going to teach their mom about API keys? So I think for a lot of these data sources you'll end up with enterprise AIs integrating them first for a seamless experience.
- samstave 3y agoWhat? I manage both gmail and protonmail via thunderbird - where I have better search and sort using IMAP.
- xyc 3y agoI think this is a good take. While there's big enough niche for personal data locally, I'd love if there's a way to solve for email/cloud data requiring API keys.
- noduerme 3y agoIdeally, though, a sufficiently smart LLM shouldn't need API access. It could navigate to your social media login page, supply your credentials, and scrape what it sees. Better yet, it should just reverse-engineer the API ;)
- coev 3y agoWhy wouldn't you be able to use IMAP over the gmail api? IMAP returns the text and headers of all your emails, which is what you'd want the LLM to ingest anyway.
- noduerme 3y agoSeconding a sibling question: What $50k API fee? To access your gmail? I've been using gmail since 2008 or so without ever touching their web/app interface or getting an API key. You just use it as an IMAP server.
