https://meetlace.ai https://meetlace.ai - LACE, a self-organising research companion for long-horizon inquiry.
With LLMs, generating ideas and snippets is cheap; what’s hard is keeping track of fragments with their “why I cared” context over months. Most tools (Notion/Obsidian/etc.) assume you will do the work (folder/tag/linking) structure will maintain it forever. I don’t.
In LACE we:
– capture fragments from the web via a browser extension
– auto-cluster them into evolving “threads” / projects with summaries & reading lists
– maintain a graph of connections across threads (“topology of attention”)
– let you turn a cluster of fragments into an essay draft when you’re ready to share.
Stack is a fairly standard web app + LLM pipeline. Used neo4j's llm-graph-builder as a starting point.
The interesting bit is self-organising graph. treating fragments/questions/lines of inquiry as first-class objects and letting the system reorganise around them over time instead of fixed folders.
It’s in a small test phase right now. If you’re a researcher/writer/engineer/founder who constantly loses good ideas in your notes and want to try something opinionated in this space, I’d love feedback.

- fudged71 10mo agoThis is brilliant. Love the UI too!
- ohmyai 10mo agoThanks, appreciate it! The UI is still early so it’s great to hear it lands. curious what kind of stuff you’d imagine using it for most
- Kathan2651 9mo agoCurious, where are you going with this?, this sounds and looks really interesting. Would love to help/contribute :)
- ohmyai 9mo agoThanks! really appreciate it! Shortly: We're trying to turn LACE into a curiosity engine instead of another note graveyard. Right now you can clip fragments from the web, LACE auto-organises them into evolving research threads, builds a concept graph + summaries, and lets you chat with your own library (find bridge connections, pull related papers, or turn a cluster into an essay draft). Where we're going: more “emergent” behaviour – high-signal rabbit holes (papers, videos, posts) based on what you’re actually working on, plus light collaboration so people can share drafts and reading lists around a question. The idea is that LACE keeps organising and resurfacing things for you, on the right time, instead of you fighting with folders/tags in Obsidian/Notion. If that sounds fun, I'd love it if you can give it a spin and give us feedback. I'm on https://x.com/oyayla_ https://x.com/oyayla_ - if you can DM me I can also invite you to our Telegram group.
