I would say that it is different from IFTTT and Zapier because it is not meant to “do something” when something happens in your cloud service. It’s only meant to periodically save your data in a local database on your computer. Plus there’s a GUI that can help you query that data (which is where the AI can come in, if necessary).
So far I have worked out the connectors for a handful of services (prioritising those with local data and public APIs) and a general-purpose database schema to store and query the data.
I have an existing app (made using the Tauri framework in Rust + Svelte) that acts as a local file search engine that I hope to use as a starting point.
- runjake 2y agoVery cool. Consider posting screenshots to the thread! I do a bunch of this, in a set of messy Python scripts that need refactoring, for personal use. It's definitely largely doable, but not without it's challenges for some services. Thankfully, at a personal level, I can choose not to use those services and move to something that is more open.
- thatgurjot 2y agoThanks for the vote of confidence! I’ll post screenshots when I have something more than haphazardly put together Python scripts :) You are right about switching to an open service! I am prioritising such services.

- runjake 2y agoThis is called prototyping and there's not a thing wrong with it. Good luck and keep us updated.
