A tool that automatically shows you relevant information as you work so you don't have to search for things manually. With privacy guarantees.
Being sick of where things are headed, I didn't want to join the "trend". Instead, there is NotAI. I built it for myself first and foremost, as I am:
1. Too lazy to Alt+Tab into Notion in order to write a note or find it. Instead, I want to select text and write a note in-place. Next time when I see something relevant on screen, I want it to appear.
2. Usually distracted with the need to structure information manually. If you see it on screen, it should be enough. With NotAI you see a name in messenger -- it adds contact automatically. You see meeting caps -- it memorises them. Etc.
3. Tired of bloatware, all those 500MB text editors draining the battery. I wanted it to be fast, small and smooth. NotAI is fully native, consumes a few tens of MBs and runs even on modest 5-7 y.o. laptops. It's fully local, meaning no network requests / server-side processing -> reaction time is usually within 40ms.
4. Sick of marketing bs. Privacy-first products with telemetry and requests to ChatGPT. Attempts to achieve "privacy" by redefining the meaning of it. I no longer believe what I read. If it's private, I want guarantees! So NotAI is fully local. It's a single executable program. You go Windows Defender (or any other firewall) and block it from network. Period.

Hello HN! I'm a software engineer with expertise in building desktop applications, system programming and low-level device management, with the background in cybersecurity and experience working in different environments: from large companies to MVP-stage startups.
For the past few years I've been interested in LLM/semantic search applied in the UX/productivity space, doing product design and user research in addition to engineering. As a result of this research I produced working MVPs, each of which implements a concept around proactive user interfaces: https://searchpad.aihttps://shkur.ski/notai
I have open work permit in Germany and Canada, but can also consider a B2B contract.
I perceive this thread in the same way as the praise of Hanns Johst.
With the perceived potential of separating work from its author being inversely proportional to the amount of attention devoted to both (Raskolnikov attitude towards Poles as something on the surface, though it's infiltrated with Russian chauvinism at a much deeper level).
With overlooking the fact that it is being used as a weapon (together with the unified Russian language created by Pushkin) for erasure of entire cultures. I'd stress this out: this is not a weapon in a museum. We are talking active phase. And the more obscure the relations above are, the higher the penetration rate.
Remote: yes, only
Willing to relocate: no
