I’m building an AI app and want harsh feedback.

The wedge is simple: people save useful everyday stuff everywhere, screenshots, receipts, recipes, grocery lists, notes, links, reminders, random thoughts, then can’t find or use it when they need it.

The app is an everyday memory assistant. You can dump things in by typing, taking a photo, uploading a screenshot, or just speaking hands-free in any language.

It uses OCR, speech-to-text, AI classification, and search to organise things into something useful later.

Example use cases:

\- Take a photo of a list, receipt, recipe, or note and have it organised
\- Speak a quick thought like “don’t let me forget this” and log it instantly
\- Save a screenshot and find it later by asking normally
\- Upload a messy grocery list and turn it into a checklist
\- Save a recipe screenshot and extract the ingredients
\- Scan a receipt and track what you bought or spent
\- Keep small life admin in one place instead of across notes, photos, and messages

The main problem I’m testing is:
“I know I saved this somewhere, but I can’t find it when I need it.”

Would you use this, or does it sound like another overbuilt AI app?

And assuming it worked well, what would you be comfortable paying for it? If yes, free, one-time purchase, $8/month, $10/month, or something else?

Please be harsh. I’d rather know now if this is not worth building.

My wife is an independent NDIS provider with 4 clients, and I’ve been watching her deal with the same admin pain I see mentioned here all the time.
Service notes, invoices, folders, client documents, worker checks, audit evidence, chasing things up it adds up quickly. She asked me if I could build something simple for her because she’s tired of spending so much time on admin instead of the actual work.

So that’s where this started.

I’m not trying to sell another big “all-in-one” platform. The goal is to build a simple tool that helps keep service notes, invoices, claim evidence, client records and audit documents together in one place.

It is not AI-first. AI would only be an optional assistant, like using ChatGPT inside the platform when you choose to. Not forced, not hidden, and not touching data without transparency.

If AI is used, I want providers to see exactly what data is being sent, what is masked, and what stays private. Sensitive details like names or identifiers can be replaced with unique tokens before AI sees anything.

I’m also looking at making the core open source so providers can inspect it, suggest ideas, and hopefully shape it into something that actually feels like their own tool.

I’m here to understand the real struggle before building too far.
What admin task is the biggest headache for independent providers? What do current platforms still not solve properly?

Hey everyone,

I’m a 23M working as an analyst and have been itching to build something meaningful outside of work. I’m really interested in tech, AI implementation, and SaaS, and would love to connect with like-minded people who are keen to build products that genuinely help people.

I’m not here trying to sell anything or pitch some big idea. I don’t have a polished concept yet. I’m always learning and exploring new ideas, but I’m probably stronger on execution and problem-solving than I am on scoping and validating startup ideas. Keen to meet developers, designers, marketers, founders, or anyone who enjoys building and wants to work on interesting projects together.

If that sounds like you, drop a comment or send me a message. Would be great to connect
