Embra looks promising. We are building a similar tool based on GPT technology but only for documents searching and Q&A on documents. https://askcorpora.com
One feedback i have for you is why not build something like Google Desktop Search? It was a tool where it indexes everything on your pc and then you can search for files or something from your PC. What you can build is a Google+ChatGPT like search tool for your PC. Your tool will see and index every files, emails, websites of a user. And your tool can work as personal assistant.

Went to sign up and your TOS/Privacy Policy both 404. Are these live? Given you're getting access to everything on a work computer, hesitant to sign up/install without clarity of how you handle customer data.

Looks very promising! Is it using chatgpt in the background, or one of the other gpt models? Or did you create your own model on top of GPT?

Does it run on intel macs?
We're building Embra, an always-one-second away GPT assistant that integrates into your OS, apps, and workflows.
Everyone is talking about the "context problem" as it relates to GPT, in that the answers you get out are only as good as the information you put in. And, well, a lot of users don't want to type in a bunch of text.
With Embra, you can pick and choose which context to feed the AI within the interface itself. And that context can be anywhere on your computer -- text in a PDF document, any tabs within Chrome, etc.
One of the primary use cases is improved coding, debugging, and software workflows. We especially want to gather feedback in this direction, as engineers engage in Q&A workflows and code creation 15+ times a day. Really awesome. :)
Just launching our closed beta signup page today, and rolling out first invites to broader community.

And the twitter launch thread: https://twitter.com/zachtratar/status/1623015294569713665
We're also looking for the following feedback:
1) What do you think about OS-level integration vs VSCode extension? Both have filesystem access, but do you perceive them differently security or capability wise? 2) What do you use ChatGPT for today primarily, and would desktop access improve those workflows meaningfully? 3) What context would you like to pull into the AI, as an engineer?
Thanks! And feel free to poke at the idea. We've been around the block and welcome the classic, ruthless HN constructive criticism.
