Hi, I’m Dan Siroker, co-founder & CEO of Rewind.
Thousands of users use Rewind every day to search through their memories. But search is such an antiquated concept. What if there was a better way?
What if we could ask Rewind any question about anything we’ve seen, said, or heard?
Well now we can.
Introducing Ask Rewind
@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!
Congratulations on the launch 🎉

I think this is a bit misleading because to process a request you need to send sensitive user data to AI server(for the context). And it sounds scary because you collect EVERYTHING
@alexey_yar 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.

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.
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. ❤️
@nickmilo Hi there Nick! So glad to have you watching!
We take a privacy-first approach. No audio, video, or image files ever leave your Mac. Here's how it works:

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.
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:
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.

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!
@sergii_iaremenko Hi there Sergii. 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
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 🔥
