Show HN: I built a more productive way to manage AI chats

I tried to solve my own problems that I had while copy and pasting the same starting context from chat to chat. Now I can generate the base context and start new chats from there.
ramoz•4h ago
Yes def a needed thing for power users.

You and I are going to end up competing because im evovling my original solution in this space, https://github.com/backnotprop/prompt-tower ... best of luck, great execution thus far.

tapeo•4h ago
Thank you, will take a look at your software, competition is always good
dangus•4h ago
So now our jobs are shifting from doing work, to telling the AI to do work, so now we need management tools to better manage how we are telling the AI to do work.

I must have taken a turn to the wrong timeline.

tapeo•4h ago
New tools for a new kind of work!
icelancer•3h ago
Yeah. That's how it works with employees, too.
artichaud1•4h ago
Love this. I will give it a try. Beautiful landing page as well.
tapeo•4h ago
Thanks so much, if you try it out feel free to leave feedback if you want!

I thought about building something along these lines (not the same but vaguely similar).

Then Gemini AI Studio came along with a 1 million token window and allowed me to upload zip files of my entire code base and I lost interest in my own thing.

TZubiri•3h ago
It technically handles 1M tokens, but if you ask it questions it's obvious that it's too much to handle.

Just upload a novel and ask it questions, you'll see how it botches simple stuff

wewewedxfgdf•3h ago
Good or bad it's a zillion times better than Claude or ChatGPT where you can't even upload a zipfile.
icelancer•3h ago
Easiest way to prove it can't handle the full context in reality is to upload a one hour documentary movie with audio and ask it to write timestamps of chapters/critical moments. It can't handle this beyond 10 minutes even remotely reliably.
tapeo•3h ago
Yes the long context it's complementary, in other chat services like Gemini you have to rewrite that base context everytime for each new fresh chat, plus they lack of specific data import tools and projects management
imranq•4h ago
Nice idea!

I think it would be better if it was just context and not connected to any model. Think of one place where you can hook in your drive folder, GitHub, etc. and have it produce the best context for the task you want to achieve. Then users can copy that to their model or workflow of choice

tapeo•4h ago
Thank you, this could be a cool feature too add! For example the ability to click a link that redirects to other chat services with your project base context you built and optionally all the messages sent until there
iankp•3h ago
Isn't NotebookLM already exactly web and file context (a "ContextChat")?

Edit: I assume it is basically a similar product, but your differentiators are mainly the customer getting to choose their model, and you getting to write your own context adding ergonomics (like adding links from a Sitemap)?

tapeo•3h ago
Exactly, similar plus tools to import and manage projects context fast (like GitHub private repos and sitemaps url), multiple ai model and pay per use like using APIs
scottward•3h ago
Cool! I was excited when I saw this and signed up.

One key thing I was hoping for was a consistent resync with source material particularly google docs. Looks like I'll have to download then upload to your app whenever they change.

Is that right? Auto syncing in the plan?

tapeo•3h ago
Auto syncing added to the plan!
scottward•2h ago
Cool. One option is just to integrate with make/n8n/zapier so I could a) trigger on doc changes and then b) upload (and overwrite) the doc in your app
tapeo•2h ago
Yes this sounds very useful and productive. Having project context updated based on external events. I will share it on socials when ready, thanks for the feedback!
scottward•2h ago
Sure! Email your users too - since I'm one of them I'll get the email. :)
tapeo•2h ago
Will do thanks again!
pelagicAustral•3h ago
edit: whoops... commented on the wrong tab... nevermind, but Godspeed.
tapeo•3h ago
I appreciate it, thanks and keep building
jmcmaster•2h ago
How are you handling privacy / security / confidentiality if I upload all this data? No way I could use this for work.
mmh0000•2h ago
Why do you care about "work" data? They're selling your data[1][2]. You should sell theirs, it's only fair.

tapeo•2h ago
Yes actually that it's not a trivial topic.

What I can do is to make it very transparent on how data is managed.

The files content are appended to the context builder, then the context and messages are processed through OpenRouter, which is a provider that offers APIs to all the AI models, and the output generated (and the account data) is stored on a secured database on Mongodb platform.

It’s all defined in the privacy policy here: https://contextch.at/docs/privacy-policy/index.html
