Yes, Textract does not work as well for desktop screenshots from our testing

Very cool. We do something similar by combining OCR along with accessiblity data and other data (speech reco et. al.) for desktop based screensharing understanding, but evaluation compared to multi-modal LLMs has not been easy. How are you

How about with a K instead https://getkap.co/

It would be nice if Apple products were less locked down. Android is the only option if you want that sadly for the phone space

For Apple, they know the average person doesn’t really care about this. They only lean into privacy when it’s a useful competitive weapon. There are many people willing to pay for products now that record their screen 24/7, or buy “AI”

Love the standup and other ideas here and happy to see a smarter alternative coming up to take on Atlassian and Jira. Atlassian recently bought Loom and is clearly working to incorporate multimodal video/screen share input through Loom

Yes the design by committee will continue until morale improves.

Those are usually called STOs for people who make the final call, not DRIs, from what I saw in my tenure there. The Amazon doc is a great concept when there are single threaded owners, however Amazon also has had culture and growth issues w

US (where bulk of employees are) is still pretty close to 2 years unless that changed a lot in just a few years (I was a sr. dev manager there and worked there for around 6.5 yrs). This is pretty similar to the rest of big tech though excep

I think products like this have to evolve into pay by the hour otherwise you find alternatives that have it.

Really doesn’t seem like Florida is that opposed to banning innovation for incumbents, not the kind of place I’d trust my startup to really given big restrictive state government over small gov https://x.com/andercot/st

Eh, I don't want my kids around it, we shouldn't be ok with it, and I don't blame anyone who doesn't want to live near it. "Rarely dangerous" is a hell of a term if you've walked downtown at night as anyon

As someone who lives in Seattle I can tell you at least two things 1) the homeless population and use of drugs out in the open on sidewalks in the city has gone up significantly and no plan for addressing. 2) the city management tends to be

Awesome, thanks. Yes we are also on the process mining and RPA space and use image reco + ocr + click tracking for part of it. My (poorly worded probably) question was why do knolwdge graphs matter for you, since traditional rpa doesn’t use

That’s been true for a while though. Datacenters re not usually near your software engineers and researchers

Ontologies are just defining what certain category, words, and entity types mean. Commonly used in NLP for data representation (“facts”/triples/etc.) in knowledge graphs and other places where the definition of an ontology helps p

That’s definitely a part of the issue, just hard to see ai startups able to thrive there if things like this go through.

I don’t think that worked when Miami was being hyped over the last few years and I don’t expect that to work in the future. Needs a base of research and big tech to start.

They don’t seem to have any reason that there would be AI experts there though. No big comp sci universities or existing research labs and tech companies that you can pull talent from.

I dont know if you need a graphdb in particular but there are likely explicit relationships or entities to resolve to eachother that you’d want to add that aren’t known by a general model about your use case. For example if you are personal

Which states would you speculate will be best long term for AI startups? I would’ve guessed California but it’s looking more important to pick a state less likely to get over their skis with regulation. Washington doesn’t seem yet to be doi

Semantic difference doesn’t define relationships between semantically disimilar entities in the same way a structured knowledge graph would let you add a new learned relationship. Similarly you can’t necessarily do entity resolution with pr

What’s the goal of creating a graph from the actions? Do you have any related papers that talk about that? We also capture and learn from actions but haven’t found value in adding structure beyond representing them semantically in a list wi

by dbish 2y ago
Yes, but this doesn’t seem to be an actual knowledge graph which is part of the issue imho. If you look at the Microsoft knowledge graph paper linked in the repo it looks like they build out a real entity-relationship based knowledge graph

by dbish 2y ago
Exactly. Glad to see this. I do think knowledge graphs are important to AI assistants and agents though and someone needs to build a knowledge graph solution for that space. The idea of actual entities and relationships defined like triples

I don’t think hardware is the right savior though, just moving faster with software, focusing on differentiation (ex: better understanding of the data for the task at hand rather then purely using OpenAI APIs). Hardware is the perfect way t

For sure, we made a privacy tradeoff to do it server side (given some screen change delta) because of this. Accessibility is a good "in addition to" but there are just so many apps that don't handle it well

Not "always on" but if you enable a recording with us, it's all searchable and even attempts to write a doc of what you were talking about to scan or answer questions about later: https://augmend.com . We do screen
