Can we use AI to grab insights from your notes?

The question that I explored last time, which is “Can AI be your coworker?”, is answered now.

With ChatGPT, its a sure shot YES.

I mean, go on to Twitter and search for "chatgpt", you'll find overwhelming responses on what its capable of doing.

I was now pondering on the question "How can it help me", personally, taking in the context of my environment, the things I consume, where I live etc.

Things I read – Aha!

I know I have collected quotes from the books I read, and they ARE valuable. “Maybe there is a way to train the AI on all these quotes and ask it for insights based on it”, I wondered.

Right in time, I came across this video where Sahil, the founder of Gumroad, talks about how he built askmybook.com. He trained the AI on his book called The Minimalist Entrepreneur, and it answers questions based on that book.

It was perfect for my use case.

Created a fresh repository and started hacking together bit and pieces. A lot of examples were in python, which isn’t a language of comfort for me. With the help of ChatGPT I translated code to JavaScript and adapted them.

Couple of hours later, I ended up with this.

The questions now - Will anyone else want this? If so, how can make this customizable? Will I run out of my free OpenAI GPT credits?

I'd like to know what you think?
