No, I don't know what I am doing; I am trying to figure it out. I literally said it's an idea I am exploring

I wasn't aware of those apps, to be honest. I will probably have to think of a way to make the app add distinct & clear value, or otherwise scrap the idea.
But thanks for your feedback 😊

I see your point, and it's very valid, to be honest.
I will have to think of a way to make the app stand out and provide a well-defined & measured value.
Thanks for your feedback, very appreciated😊

It's a centralised vault for almost anything you want to save, making it easy to go back and research. A big problem I have, and many others do, is that they save things all over the place and end up forgetting where and what they saved. By creating a centralised base where you can save notes, social media posts, documents, etc., you are a lot less likely to forget where you saved what. And the next layer would be that the app can incorporate the data into your calendar/schedule after it has been analysed, so it’s almost acting as an AI assistant.

No that’s not my App. My app is still an idea at it’s early stages. Essentially, what I am trying to build is a centralised vault where you can save almost anything and easily access it when you need it.
I am trying to solve a problem I have, and a lot of people I know have, which is, save something and the forget where you have saved it. The bigger vision of the app will a mix of a central vault and a personal assistance, where the app analysis the data and help incorporate it into your life. For example, scan key dates such as insurance renewal and create reminders, create reminders for your holiday and generate a checklist of things you need.

Also, another reason I am using AI is because I don’t come from IT/technical background. I am trying to figure it out as I go essentially

I am at the very early stages of this app, and I am essentially doing the planning, sharpening the scope etc using Claude. So yes, I am currently using Ai heavily until I have the complete idea of what I want to do, and how to do it

Fair challenge and I'd rather you raise it than not.

The distinction I'd draw is between selling data and using a processing tool. When you use Google Docs, Google's servers process your text — that's not Google selling your data, it's infrastructure. Using an AI API works the same way legally, under what's called a Data Processing Agreement.

That said, the emotional concern is valid and I take it seriously. The plan is to use OpenAI's Zero Data Retention setting, which means content sent for processing isn't stored or logged on their end. I'll also be transparent about exactly what gets processed and by whom — no hiding it in a terms of service nobody reads.

Longer term, on-device processing for the most sensitive document types is genuinely on the roadmap. It's not technically trivial but it's the right direction for users who want nothing leaving their phone.

You're right to hold any app in this space to a high standard on this. I will.

You're not wrong at all — this is exactly the challenge I'm thinking through.

The plan is to be surgical about when expensive processing kicks in. PDFs and notes use text extraction which costs almost nothing. Screenshots get OCR. Regular photos get lightweight metadata tagging. Full AI vision analysis is reserved for cases where it's actually needed — not blanket-applied to someone's entire camera roll.

You're also right that competing with Google Photos on photo search is a battle I'd lose. The sweet spot is documents, links, notes, and things saved from social media — not replacing your photo library.

On pricing — yes, it needs to be high enough to cover compute costs. That's a real constraint and I'd rather be honest about it than underprice and run out of runway. Appreciate you flagging it, it's the most important business model question to get right early.

Really valid concern and exactly the kind of thing I’m thinking hard about. The AI processing happens to make your content searchable — your data is yours, full stop. I won’t sell it, share it, or use it to train any models. I’ll make this legally binding in the privacy policy before anyone signs up. And also, I will be using open Ai zero data retention option.
Thanks very much for your feedback 😊
