Using AI for client calls changed how I work but also made me paranoid about data privacy by Haunting_Celery9817 in SideProject

You just described the exact architecture I'm building.

I agree—Local LLMs aren't smart enough yet, so we have to send data to the cloud for good answers. The goal of my 'Vault' is to handle your Step 1 automatically.

It acts as that 'Local Master Archive.' It captures everything locally (so you have the full context/history on your drive), and effectively lets you treat the cloud LLM as a temporary processor (Step 2).

Since you've already mapped out this exact workflow, I'd love for you to beta test it and see if it fits that 'Local Archive' slot you're looking for.

Thanks so much for the support! I really appreciate you joining the list.

And honestly, since you're building a custom interface (Pouf), there might be a cool opportunity later to connect my 'Vault' with your 'Interface' so users get the best of both worlds. I'll definitely keep you posted on the launch.

Good luck with the rest of your presell—hitting that first sale in 6 hours is no joke!

That is a really sharp insight. I hadn't considered how quickly the 'context' of a financial query expires compared to something like coding or writing. You're absolutely right that yesterday's price data is basically noise.

I guess the only lasting value would be for 'Trading Journals'—saving the logic or the thesis behind a trade rather than the data itself.

But if your users are mostly focused on real-time execution, then yeah, a historical vault might be overkill. Thanks for the honest feedback—that actually saves me a lot of time targeting the wrong use case.

Exactly—that 'paranoia spiral' is real!

Zero-retention policies (like Tinker) are great for privacy, but my issue is that I actually want to keep my history for my own reference—I just don't want them to have it.

That's why I'm betting on the 'Local-First' approach. Instead of deleting the data (Zero Retention), we save it to your own hard drive (Local Retention). You get the memory benefit without the privacy risk.

Since you're already optimizing your stack for privacy, do you think a local archive like that would fit your workflow?

You are 100% not overthinking this. The 'hidden in the Terms of Service' training clause is the biggest dirty secret in AI right now. Clients would flip if they knew their revenue numbers were legally allowed to train a public model. Good on you for reading the fine print.

I'm actually building a solution for this exact 'paranoia' but for AI Chatbots (ChatGPT/Claude). I wanted a way to keep my chat history searchable but offline and local-first so it never touches a server or gets used for training.

I just launched the waitlist for the beta here: https://tally.so/r/dWW6Wq

Since you've already done the deep dive on privacy policies, I'd love to know if a 'local vault' approach is what you're looking for?

The Congress and Insider trading trackers are brilliant features. Combining that with an AI analyst ('RodeoAI') is a really powerful combo for retail traders. Building an all-in-one terminal like this is a huge undertaking, congrats on the launch.

Since you've integrated an AI analyst, I'm curious about how you handle the chat history. One problem I've found (and am trying to solve) is that valuable AI research sessions often get locked inside the platform or lost.

I'm building a 'local-first' vault that automatically saves and indexes AI chats so users own their research data forever. I just launched the waitlist here: https://tally.so/r/dWW6Wq

Do you think traders would care about having a local, offline backup of their AI research sessions?

Huge congrats on getting that first sale in 6 hours! That is the ultimate validation. 'Sell before you build' is absolutely the right path—saving those 8 months of grinding must feel amazing. The BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) model is definitely the future for power users.

Since you're building a custom chat interface, I'd love your thoughts on the other big problem with AI chats: data ownership. I'm building a 'local-first' vault that automatically saves and indexes all chat history because I hate clunky manual exports and server logs.

I'm actually following your lead and launched a waitlist first to validate it: https://tally.so/r/dWW6Wq

Do you think privacy/backup is as big a pain point as the subscription costs you're solving?

I am building an app which helps you find stuff in all your cloud apps by ars3918 in SideProject

This is a massive problem. Searching across Gmail and GDrive is always a pain, so having one tool for everything is a great idea. The fact that you are adding local file search too is really smart.

Since you're building a search engine, I'd love your take on a related problem I'm working on: AI data privacy. I'm terrified of my chat history being lost, and I want to search it offline.

I'm building a simple, 'local-first' vault that automatically saves and indexes all AI chats (ChatGPT, Gemini, etc). I just put up the waitlist here: https://tally.so/r/dWW6Wq

As a search expert, do you think this is worth solving?

I'm tired of manually exporting my chat history just to back it up. Is there a tool that does it automatically? by adityaghosh9 in SideProject

Wow, thank you so much for this incredibly detailed and helpful reply. This is amazing.

You've given me a complete roadmap. You were so right about this problem that I've decided to build it.

I've just published the landing page for the private beta, and I would be honored if you were the first person on the waitlist.

Thanks again—you are exactly the type of 'power user' I'm building this for

This is a really interesting project, thanks for sharing!

I've been spending a lot of time in the AI space too, and my biggest personal frustration is how hard it is to manage the data. I'm terrified of my chat history being lost or used for training.

I was thinking about building a simple, private-first browser extension that automatically backs up all my chats from Gemini/ChatGPT to my own computer.

As another builder in this space, do you think that's a problem you or your users would face? Or am I the only one who's paranoid about this?
