Howdy Product Hunt! 😸 I'm Gabe, the cofounder of Zenfetch along with Akash Mandavilli. We're excited to launch Zenfetch, a Chrome extension that turns your web browsing into an actionable knowledge base. We built Zenfetch for those who want to not only store but truly leverage the wealth of information they encounter online. If you’re like me, you’re sick and tired of the thousands of read-it-later apps. They may as well be called “forget-it-forever” apps. We’re here to shift the discussion towards leveraging AI to augment your memory. 🧠 Zenfetch is dead simple to use: 👉 Signup and optionally sync your existing content with our integrations 👉 Click the Zenfetch button on any tab to save it to your zenfetch library 👉 Neural Search & Chat with your knowledge from the dashboard or directly in the tab using our Ask Zenfetch feature Oh, and Zenfetch sends you refresher emails with takeaways to make sure you don’t forget those important details the next day. 😮‍💨 Start your journey with a 14-day free trial, no credit card required, and see how Zenfetch can elevate your creative processes. Happy to answer any questions and looking forward to your thoughts, Happy Zenfetching!

@gabe_villasana looks like a very handy tool Gabe. I am curious to know if you track the time i spend on a site to identify if it was useful or no. Else how do you differentiate clutter from useful stuff to track?

@imraju Great question Raju Zenfetch only adds articles to your knowledge library which you explicitly choose to save. We have been building a "smart-save" feature (still in alpha-release only) which can determine whether to include articles in your knowledge library based on 1. Time spent on article 2. The types of information in your existing library and other important features. Were you hoping to take advantage of this feature?

@gabe_villasana I would love to use this feature for sure. It will also help save a lot of time to ensure only quality research is getting retrieved when needed and not just random info site. I would love to be a beta user for this.

💡 Bright idea

Interesting. I’m actually most excited about being able to upload notes and docs - I’m worried saving sites I’m browsing will create too much noise (I feel like with a digital brain, like a physical brain, some amount of “forgetting” is important for distillation). But maybe LLMs change this?

@rajiv_ayyangar 100% agree with you here Rajiv We took a curated second brain approach with Zenfetch. We've seen some players in this space target a "capture everything" approach, though the reality is, there are things I barely want in my first brain, let alone my second brain. I don't need to be reminded of the clickbait article I've clicked before. Behind the scenes, Zenfetch is constructing a knowledge graph on your behalf. The goal is you should only have to focus on curating the brain (deciding which information you value) and Zenfetch will handle all the complexity of keeping your brain primed so that you get the most benefit from it in the future :)

Sounds like an interesting product, but just a quick question: Where is my content (PDFs, videos, articles) stored? And how do I store them? Is it an in-browser AI?

@oliver_bahne Great question Oliver. You can save articles by clicking the Zenfetch button (chrome extension) on a website OR by using one of our integrations from the dashboard (PDF upload, URL CSV Upload, Pocket Integration, and more coming soon). Zenfetch is a cloud hosted service. When you save each article, Zenfetch captures a snapshot of the article and stores them on your behalf. Happy to answer more follow ups!

@oliver_bahne @gabe_villasana I have a follow up question - how can we export or sync the actual data with other data sources? Eg. existing obsidian, notion etc

@oliver_bahne @alex_max_11 We're working on shipping an export feature soon, though in the meantime you can always request an export via the support widget in app or via emailing the Zenfetch support! Re: sync We have synced integrations coming soon! Would love to understand what are the community's priorities so we can build accordingly. Today, you can save/unsave individual Notion pages, Google Docs, and more

@oliver_bahne @gabe_villasana Sounds amazing! Others would be - Google Keep / Apple Notes / Obsidian

@oliver_bahne @alex_max_11 Noted (pun intended) For those which are already in browser, clicking the Zenfetch button on those should work fine. That said, we are working on getting more and more integrations in shortly, stay tuned :D

This is awesome - I've been a big believer of BASB (building a second brain) and systems of the like - but I've found that every single system is too complicated, manual and I end up doing more work maintaining it, than getting any value out of it. This looks perfect for the use case. There's a chrome extension currently - do you plan to make a mobile app? Ideally one would want to have their knowledge base on all platforms

@alex_max_11 Such kind words Alex. We completely agree that in the same way you don't have to think too hard about building your first brain, building your second brain should be just as simple. Curious what you were hoping to accomplish with a mobile app? We are working on a way to save articles from your mobile phone. Would that work for your use case?

@gabe_villasana Thanks for the response! How would I access/query my knowledge base on mobile/on the go - do I use the webapp on mobile?

@alex_max_11 Yes! You can access the dashboard from mobile still via the web app (admittedly, we haven't prioritized responsiveness quite yet from mobile view though we can get that done soon)

Wow, was just looking for something like this last week to help aggregate learnings from articles I was reading. What are other common use cases you guys see people using it for?

@teddyni That's great to hear Teddy! A few notable use cases: - Researchers love Zenfetch for collecting various reports and organizing them in specific folders. Then they can reference and chat across a collection of folders to compare/contrast findings. (i.e., build a folder of 15 papers that discuss smoking effects on lung cancer then having Zenfetch find the key points across them) - Content creators use Zenfetch to upload their existing content then brainstorm ideas for new content that they may not have touched upon in a while - Learning enthusiasts who read a TON like Zenfetch for the daily/weekly refresh which can remind them of the information they learned a long time ago. (personally, this is my favorite feature and the brainchild of @akash_mandavilli2

@nicolas_machado Great question! One of our biggest priorities is increasing the scope of what Zenfetch can index. Currently, you can save Youtube videos to Zenfetch but we've been actively thinking about ways to enable podcast saving as well. We'll keep you updated when this is ready!
