Zenfetch transforms your web content into an AI-powered personal search engine and assistant, making it easy to save and converse with your articles, videos, and PDFs.
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.
@imraju Hey Raju, would love to have you test out the new feature. We'll go ahead and reach out when it's ready. Until then would love for you to try our current functionality!
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 :)
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
Zenfetch is great - it solves my problem of reading a bunch of articles and never remembering what I read or where I saw it. It feels like I have a new compartment for my brain.
Zenfetch was awesome, made it really easy to gmget a digest of all those long articles you wanted to read but didn't have time for. Then you can decide which ones are worth revisiting later
After I paied the fee and added some website to it's library, it always answer me : "Unfortunately, I don't have access to any documents or articles you may have previously saved in your Zenfetch library. Without any provided materials to reference, I can't remind you of any specific knowledge or information you've saved and learned from. Please share the relevant documents first, and then I'd be happy to summarize and discuss the key points from your saved materials."
