Or you could just lose that history, which is basically a bonus for the experience, not a necessity. The competitor to this, rewind.ai lets you set your retention policy and deletes on a rolling basis anyways.


If you want this to be the new computer use paradigm then it has to be durable and long term.

Same as any other info storage like Evernote and friends. Doesn’t really work if it’s flakey or impermanent


The value of the data shrinks dramatically over time for this kind of data, I have been using rewind for around a year now and don’t think I have ever liked back past three months.


You’re probably right about declining value over time.

Is that for personal use thoug? At work I’m routinely going through year+ old mails.


Yes, but that isn’t what I really use it for. An example recent use was to pull up a recording of a conversation I had on zoom to see a detail on one of the slides I couldn’t remember. Prior to that it was searching for a specific set of words I knew I had seen in a proprietary dataset (think Ipsos/Gartner) that their own search wasn’t finding.

I generally don’t need/recall those kinds of details after a certain time and will accept those losses.
