Reflect AI Search

Reflect AI Search

Search and chat with your notes using AI
Reflect has implemented a new advanced search with the help of AI. It allows you to search your notes semantically without needing the exact words. You can chat with your own notes like a personal assistant, and use filters to narrow down the information.

When we began working on Reflect more than two years ago, I had no idea that AI would play such a significant role in Reflect, or in all our futures for that matter. Today, we are releasing AI search capabilities within Reflect. This includes advanced search, semantic search, and chat with search results. If you're not familiar with Reflect, we're a note-taking app that focuses on beautiful UX and simplicity. At this point, we have over 3,400 paying customers. This release is, quite honestly, the most substantial since we first launched Reflect. It's a tremendous breakthrough because you can now retrieve information quickly from your notes and summarize it with AI. For instance, you can ask the AI to summarize everything you have written over the last week, or to compile entries related to your journaling topics or a specific category. You can request the AI to list all your friends who reside in a particular city or to bring up links related to specific research you are conducting. It is one of the most introspective and powerful tools I have ever encountered. And I'm glad to get it in more people's hands.

@maccaw What an incredible launch! Can't wait to explore the project in more detail. Wishing you success on your journey! Already followed your team on Twitter.

Wow, great work! This product truly seems like it holds immense potential.

I figured you were working on something like this, @maccaw. :) How do you manage PII or other sensitive information shared in these notes? I know some have a fear that external LLMs will store and even train their models with info that shouldn't be public.

Congrats on the launch @maccaw and team! Huge Reflect fan, and also curious to hear how you all think about sensitive data with this launch.

@rrhoover good question. It took us a while to figure out how to design these features while still respecting our privacy and encryption obligations, but we figured it out. Personally, when OpenAI state in their terms that they don't use any of the data to train the LLM or store any of the data long term, that's good enough for me. But I know that not everyone views it that way. When we designed this, we needed to be extremely careful about the implications here. Many people use Reflect because we have such emphasis on end-to-end encryption and security. The line in the sand that we've drawn is that we won't do anything proactively. We won't, for example, proactively send out your data to index it. All of the embeddings happen locally. All the search happens locally. If anyone is uncomfortable with the AI features, if they don't use them, then there's no security or privacy implications. No data will be shared externally and all your data will be end to encrypted. So ultimately the choice is in our users hands. If they decide to use the AI features, they know some of their data will be shared with OpenAI. But if they decide not to use the AI features, then they know that none of the data will be shared with anyone.

@maccaw I hear you! Portfolio plug (b/c that's my duty, right?): Commonbase is an infra layer to obfuscate PII like social security numbers, email addresses, etc. from being sent to external LLMs.

@maccaw @rrhoover congrats on the launch @maccaw! In celebration, a quick limerick: In a world where data's a lure, And breaches are awful for sure. a note summarizer, could make you quite wiser, while ensuring your secrets secure.

Easily the biggest life upgrade available in software. I've been using Reflect for about 6 months now and, unlike most note-taking apps, it's anti-fragile in that it gets better as you put more stuff into it. The networked notes mean that I don't have to think about organisation - Reflect spots similar notes and the incoming backlinks help link ideas together - now the AI search is another way of complementing the idea of capturing everything, then using the software to help make sense of things, find connections, summarise etc. I honestly can't say enough good things about Reflect and what Alex & co are making.
