How is chatbot better than search for bookmarks?


It lets you search and segment your bookmarks in context in what I think is quite an interesting way. Eg “everything critical of AI from hacker news”

This is a start but we’re already finding this allows you to save everything and find it later easily/uncover surprising connections between your links.


So "everything critical of AI from hacker news" is a search query. Why not just have search return useful results for this query? Why do I need to engage with a chatbot?


Now you can do much more in context. You can search deeper within this batch, or ask to summarize those links, or prepare a draft of a report/email containing those bookmarks in their context. At least to us, it opens the doors to what is possible.


Who are "us"? What of the above was not possible before?
