@dsiroker Hey Dan, absolutely love this. Have been using Rewind for a long time now and was one of the first things I asked Brett for. Any chances you're also working on an API? I'm a dev and have lots of things I want to integrate Rewind into.
@dsiroker This sounds like an incredibly helpful tool for anyone looking to improve their memory and productivity. Being able to search through all of your past experiences is impressive, but the introduction of ChatGPT takes it to the next level. Excited to see how this will evolve!
@dsiroker @alex9414 So grateful for your feedback! Be the first to know if we launch an API by filling out this form here: https://rewindai.typeform.com/to...
@dsiroker @jorexnovik Thanks George! Couldn't agree more myself. So excited to have you along for the journey!
@dsiroker @elijah_kleinsmith Thanks for sharing Elijah. Can't wait for you to try it out!
This actually seems like a really great idea. I could see people with mild form of dementia getting immense value from this. Have you explored that angle before?
@brenkinfa Hi there Bren! Yes! A lot of people with dementia have been finding value in the tool. We've also seen people with ADHD find a lot of value in it too. ❤️
@mycelebs_elle Rewind works with anything you do on your Mac — so if you're using the WhatsApp desktop app, you're all set!
This is a game-changer for anyone who struggles with memory. ChatGPT for Me offers an innovative way to recall important information with ease. With Rewind as your copilot, you'll never forget a thing again!
Congratulations on the launch, Dan. Looks super useful. From where does the tool takes this data from? How are you taking into account the privacy issues and related inhibitions people might have?
@jareer_samad Hi there! Great question. Rewind is a macOS app that captures anything you've seen, said, or heard. For your privacy, your screen and audio recordings are stored locally and NEVER leave your Mac. Compression, Automated Speech Recognition (ASR), and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) all happen locally.
You can use Rewind without using ChatGPT for Me. You can search for any keywords you've seen or heard OR you can navigate your computer in a new dimension: time, and scroll back to any point. Rewind is available for download here: https://download.rewind.ai/Rewin...
If you choose to use ChatGPT for Me, Rewind scours for the smallest set of relevant data to send to the cloud, and it’s only sent as text. None of it is retained. You can learn more about our privacy first approach here: https://www.rewind.ai/privacy-first
The phrase 'game changer' is too readily used.......but this? This truly deserves it. Bravo Rewind team!
@plgeek Wow, that made my day. I'll make sure to share that feedback with the team! Thanks Ben!!
Congrats on the launch of ChatGPT on the PH! Thank you for sharing your story. It touched me deeply. I wish your product success.
@hussain_ahmed3 Thank you! We're thrilled to have you along for the ride.
@praveen_kj2 Hi Praveen. No audio, image, or video files ever leave your machine. ChatGPT for Me only sends relevant text-based data to the cloud and none of it is retained.
Here's how it works:
1. When you ask a question, only the text of the most relevant moments from your past are sent to GPT-4 to generate an answer.
2. GPT-4 processes your question and the text of the relevant moments, and an answer is sent back to Rewind.
3. Rewind processes the answer and provides links to local recorded data for you to view as sources.
Does that alleviate your concern?
Hey @brettbejcek Thanks for replying back. Much appreciated. :)
Can you please explain a bit more on the first point? like how "ChatGPT for me" will get the most relevant moment text from my past?
@brettbejcek @praveen_kj2
As someone who is active in the field I can jump in :)
The retrieval of relevant text passages happens by:
1. Create a semantically meaningful vector representation (=embedding) of both your question and of all your past "memories"
2. Compute the pairwise embedding similarity (cosine typically) for your question and all pieces of memory
3. Retrieve the top-k best matches of memory in plain text
This is known as Semantic Retrieval for Question Answering Applications.
Hope that helps! :)
@praveen_kj2 Hi there Praveen! Great question. Rewind helps you find anything you've seen, said, or heard by capturing your screen, mic, and speakers. All recordings stay local to your machine. You can read more about our privacy-first approach here: https://rewind.ai/privacy-first
When you ask ChatGPT for Me a question, will query all the things you've seen, said, or heard for the most relevant context.
Congratulations on the launch🎉 That sounds like a very interesting and innovative application of artificial intelligence!
congrats on the launch! Sounds like a massive step forward! I am worried however on what type of text data is sent to OpenAI - since you have access to so much data, how a user can track what specific textual information was sent to API?

@alexey_yar
Agree! On the website of the app they state: "With Rewind, you're in control of your data", which is plain wrong as all the text data is sent to the OpenAI/Other Provider API, and their terms and conditions might be different.
Rewind concept blew my mind the first time I heard about it but interfacing it with NLP, now this is truly crazy 🤯
@m_dolr Thanks for your kind words Maxime! Can't wait for you to try it out.
I've been waiting for this my entire (digital) life.
I've been using the likes of Notion and notes and calendar to just keep track of everything.
Very very excited about this!
Also very interested in how privacy will be handled!
@joao_miguel_dordio I can't wait for you to try it out. We take a privacy-first approach. Here's how it works:

This is really cool! I've been deep down the rabbit hole on so many carbon copy chat gpt ideas .... this is the first that really resonated with me personally Dan! Excited to see what you do with it!
Impressive! ChatGPT for Me looks like a great way to get insight into your conversations. Looking forward to trying it out!
@umar_abdullah2 We're excited for you to try it out too! Make sure you sign up on the waitlist at: https://rewind.ai/chatgpt-for-me
Kudos to the Rewind team for this innovative AI copilot! Excited to see how it'll enrich our lives. Quick Q: How does Rewind ensure data privacy while remembering all we've seen, heard, or said? While you have answered it in the video just wanted a bit more clarity before opening access to my systems. Can't wait to try it!

Holy crap! I’ve been using Rewind for months now and it has been incredibly useful but this completely changes the game. So excited to try this!
@ben_cooper4 Thanks for being one of our first users Ben! We appreciate you!!
Hi!
Congratulates!
Nice idea, but how does your product get the information about user?
It looks like you need to collect data from laptop or phone to generate the proper answers.
Thanks!

This is amazing! I've been using Rewind since the start and have derived great value from it but this changes the game entirely. Super excited to try this out 🔥
💡 Bright idea
In my mind, this is the perfect evolution of Rewind. It’s the thing that takes it from cool piece of tech to “can’t remember how I functioned without it” sort of territory.
At the moment Rewind is a very impressive application, techincally speaking. With the compression, low resource usage etc. and it has certainly helped me a few times to find things I’ve recently lost and get some in person meetings transcribed easily. Or just now when I closed this text box without submitting this comment...
Where it falls down, is that it’s quite difficult to find something from a while ago, unless you know EXACTLY what the text was. The searches are incredibly literal, so typing in “Amazon new phone" will return all the web pages and apps with mentions of “Amazon", and even some similar words like “amazing" - there’s no contextual understanding. It’s like Rewind has got incredible memory but limited recall and understanding. And the likelihood is if I know exactly what the text was, I don’t need to search it. It makes it a cool but quite limited tool at present.
ChatGPT for Me, however, looks like it will solve that recall part, and turn Rewind.ai into an indispensable tool. I can’t help but feel it should be named and separated like that. Rewind.ai Memory is the app as it is today, saves and records everything. This new addition is Rewind.ai Recall (maybe with ChatGPT for Me as a strapline). That seems to me a good explanation to the two halves.
By extension it really then becomes your second brain. That’s a term that a million note apps have used, but you still have to input to those note apps. Rewind is just absorbing things, connecting them, making them retrievable, like an actual brain. You’re not specifically categorising things i.e. you wouldn’t think “I must create a task to do the cleaning” and input a mental checkbox against, you just know it’s a task that you need to complete.
It would be interesting to build on that premise with intelligent natural language e.g. “find that new phone case I was looking at last week on amazon” and it pulls it right up. Or “I need to buy Mum a birthday card for Saturday” and it just knows that it’s a task that should be completed before Saturday and logs it. Even better if it intelligently sends that into other tools like task managers.
Super excited.
@richinapps Wow. I love this! Thanks for sharing. Can't wait for you to try it out :)
