Transform screenshots into searchable treasures with AI

Hey, PH community! And thank you, Rohan, for the hunt!
If you're already aboard the Trickle train or have followed our past launches, you may have noticed that we've made a significant pivot and are heading to a new path. Making this call wasn't easy. Over the past 18 months, a mix of eagerness and anxiety led us astray, causing us to clutter Trickle with too many "productivity" features, making it bulky. Now, we've taken a step back and decided to focus on only one problem.
Now Trickle is designed for people who frequently snap screenshots for later use and struggle with managing and finding them from the depths of buried folders. With Trickle, your ever-growing collection of screenshots is effortlessly managed. Leveraging the latest OCR tech and the reasoning capabilities of GPT-4, turn your screenshots into "visual memos" that are both readable and searchable.
Here's how Trickle works:
- 📷 Snap or drop your screenshots into Trickle.
- ✨ Delight in crisp AI-generated digests.
- 🔍 Easily browse, search, and ask.
But our aspirations go beyond this. Given that humans are naturally inclined to comprehend the world via visuals, continuously grasping fragmented info, we aim to harness visual captures and AI to enhance this fragmented info's collection, extraction, and utility. Screenshots stand as our first step in realizing this vision.
Under this vision, our commitment is to:
- Simplify and streamline the acquisition, access, and organization of information.
- Ensure memory retrieval aligns with human cognition.
- Magnify the value derived from the application of this knowledge.
A quick sneak peek at our roadmap: We're on the brink of launching both a Mac client and an iPhone app. With features for auto-syncing and on-device storage options, you'll have an even more secure and efficient way to manage and leverage the information in your screenshots.
Cheers,
Jarod
