Do you actually learn anything if you let AI find and summarize sources for you?

I noticed if I just ask an app to research a topic from scratch the summary sounds fine but none of the information actually sticks in my head. If I grab 3 or 4 solid links myself first and then ask for a quick breakdown I retain way more of it because I knew what went in. Do you guys dump raw queries into tools right away or do you bookmark and skim source material yourself first?

Skim v1.0.28 — "Hi, my name is" 👋

The one where your mail finally stops introducing itself as a.very.long.address@example.com and starts signing off like a grown-up.

New

  • Your name on outgoing mail. Skim always had a slot for a display name it just never bothered to fill it. Now it does, per account. And it doesn't ask you: it takes a quiet look at your Sent folder, notices what you actually sign with, and adopts it. Guess once, never again, and never after you've touched the field yourself. (Microsoft OAuth hands the name over at connect time, because it's already right there in the token. Google makes us do it the hard way.) closes #43

  • Per-mailbox signatures. One plain-text sign-off per account, inserted into the draft the moment you open the composer so what you see is exactly what goes out, and the copy in IMAP Drafts matches. Comes with the proper -- delimiter pre-typed, which also means the AI co-author and the language detector politely skip over your sign-off instead of studying it. closes #42

Free, no ads, files never leave your device. So what's the catch?

It's the first question friends asked when I showed them https://convert.softorino.com, and it's fair, free converters usually pay for themselves with ads, tracking, or your files. The honest answer: the catch is that some of you will like it enough to look at the paid Mac apps I work on. That's the whole model, a good free tool as the introduction. Launch is this Sunday (Aug 30), so before then I want to hear it straight: what makes you trust a free tool, and what instantly kills that trust?
