Hey friends! I'm Richard co-founder of reconfigured - an AI-assisted journaling style note-taking app for analysts Working with data is closer to being a detective than a software engineer. Most of the time you can’t predict the exact steps needed to solve a problem, let alone what the end-result will be. What matters most is the discoveries you make along the way - trials and errors, nuances, your thought process. These are almost always scribbles in your notebook, digital or physical. Our goal is to give analysts a tool that makes it incredibly easy to track your data quests and make that knowledge accessible to colleagues. If you’re ever played games like Skyrim or Fallout, you’ll find the UI and mechanics very familiar. Hence the word quests. :) The app is very much modelled after quest journals: - Quests have a loose title and summary - You usually have one quest active at a time - New todos and steps are uncovered as you progress Some highlight features that our users love: - Hotkeys - show/hide journal with a button, directly add notes to active quests with another. - In addition to written notes, adding screenshots, automatic code highlight and voice notes - Chat with your thought process - the embedded AI let’s you discuss your findings, sort through them or remind you what were you thinking in the past. We’re an early-stage startup from Helsinki, Finland and after a hard pivot we’re finally launching our new product. It’s free to use, with upgrade options for extra functionality and teams. Our ambition is to create a JIRA alternative that isn’t centered around tickets, cards and points - but rather connected journals. We’re building this with data/analytics teams’ workflows in mind, but feedback has been that this could fit other, research-heavy type of work, e.g. product discovery, user research, academic work, even journalism.

@sonu_goswami2 we try our best! Really been trying to listen to how analytics folk work, and understand how we can best support that workflow vs. impose a new structure :-)

💡 Bright idea

I found reconfigured through my network and I'm so happy I did. I've been piloting it now for a few months and it's essentially replaced my old school pen and paper. I recognize this may be blashpemy to my fellow serial note takers, but really, it's so good. Things I love about it: - Ease of use : it's just as easy for me to use a hotkey to record context in real time as it is to use pen & paper - Embedded AI : imagine being able to talk to your notes - the sky suddenly looks a lot brighter, right? - Unparalleled support : Aside from Richard and Niko simply being really solid people, they've set a new bar when it comes to SaaS support for me. Just super effort on their part making the app accessible, answering questions, and slinging solutions to any and every bug (and honestly, there have only been one or two that have impacted my experience and they were solved almost before I could even notice. Things I'm looking forward to: - Connecting to DB : Being able to tie context to query will be a communication revelation. Numbers are numbers, but finding shared understanding of the numbers is a surprising challenge especially when working cross-functionally within an org. - Embedded AI : seeing how it develops over time. Specifically how it handles taking seemingly unrelated context and matching it, or suggesting insights between seemingly unrelated quests. - Co-Op mode : being able to share quests with teammates. Sharing context about interoperable teams could mean shared understanding which makes the path from 'huh?' to insight a lot smoother and hopefully a lot faster. People don't often think of data as an incredibly creative field, but in order to solve problems, one must be creative. With creativity comes ideas and with ideas come questions - not even just your own. Stakeholders and teammates bring an additional layer of questions and ideas, and pretty soon you're dealing with a continually evolving - and often nebulous - tome of thoughts, questions, ideas, queries, ect. It gets pretty noisy without something to keep guardrails on the whole thing. If this sounds familiar, please check out reconfigured. It's a crazy useful tool.

Growth Hackers Guide To Producthunt

I have known Richard on LinkedIn for a couple of years. Last year, when he built Reconfigured, an improved version of a data warehouse, they had to pull the plug. But it is great to see that your baby has restarted. Some questions: A) Are there plans to have the core functionality in the web app as well? B) I couldn't find a place where I could integrate my on DB, as the API section is not open for FREE tier, it is supposed to only work as overlay? Neat design, although the UX isn't as simple, for me as possible. Because the speed to value journey is very long. If you start with connecting you DB, and then you can just call the DB with a chat, that would directly be more helpful. Good luck with the launch! 🚀

@jas801 we're aiming to bring some of the core functionality also to the web, but right now as global short keys is big part of the core experience we've been focused on the native app. But the good thing is that the GUI both in web and native is React, so _should_ be easy. Just needs some time. Right now the API is only to read data of reconfigured, like listing all the quests and their activities. But, we plan to implement integrations to pull data from different sources to enrich the context. And also to push data out, like be it integration with Slack or your project management tool.

I’ve been using Reconfigured for my data projects, and it’s become my “brain dump” companion for capturing quick insights during exploratory analysis and modeling. No more tab-hopping or losing track of ideas—Reconfigured keeps everything organized in one place. I also believe that building a solid knowledge base is crucial for leveraging AI use cases in your organization. Reconfigured lays the foundation for that. Super interested to see where this project is going—especially regarding: 1. Integration with other workflow and data tools (e.g., direct access to a DB or traditional documentation systems). 2. The fundamental question: How do you motivate people to take notes as often as possible? I think Richard and Niko have plenty of great ideas to solve this.

@jan_nitschke oh yeah, how to gamify and motivate people is the core-core thing we're really focused on. The integrations are way more straight forward thing to add. And yes, the integrations will come, just needs more time to make them! And thanks for the kind words!

@jan_nitschke brain dump companion - love it! And luckily, those brain dumps are associated to questions/quests you are working on :-) it will definitely be super interesting when we get to integrations, both for project tooling but also for the data stack - eg being able to see and tag context against metadata from your data warehouse.

After using the demo for a few weeks now I've been pleasantly surprised how well it works even though I am not doing solely analytics work! Having the capability to chat with the notes I've written is something I never thought I'd need, but now don't think I could work without. Cool product and congrats on the launch!

Neat demo, Richard! The app seems to be designed for data analyst, but through the demo, I find that it would work for almost any genre of knowledge worker. Heck, even I could use it for my work! Would be really nice to see more integrations that clearly indicate that it's specifically for data analysts workflow. Excited to see where this develops!

@hai_ta1 yes! The core product can work on any kind of knowledge worker. We decided to go with data analysts first, as that helps us prioritize our first batch of integrations we're going to build. We've had like actual researcher using the tool as note helper when doing literacy review. And in the long term we most definitely will expand! Need to first build amazing tool for single group of users

Review reconfigured?

Reviewers see reconfigured as a note-taking and research journal that fits how analysts actually work: messy, exploratory, and spread across many projects. The most repeated praise is that it keeps insights, side paths, and to-dos in one searchable place, making it easier to resume work, track knowledge over time, and avoid losing context in notebooks or general-purpose apps. Users also highlight quick capture via shortcuts, a clear journal-style workflow, and time savings; a few note useful AI help and team sharing, while one mentions it still feels early.
