Saga AI – AI-powered collaborative workspace

Hey everyone, I've been working on Saga AI for the last few weeks. It's a GPT powered writing assistant that lives inside Saga. Saga itself is a collaborative workspace for notes, docs, and tasks. Think of it as Google Docs, Notion, or Confluence, but with a focus on simplicity and performance. Here's a 1 min demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3UbBL0GSVU (I had to learn video editing during an afternoon) and a link to the site/webapp https://saga.so/ai The main benefit of Saga AI is that text generation happens inside your existing notes and tasks (if you are a Saga user). You could also run multiple queries at the same time inside a page or in two pages side by side. Early during development I've observed that for common tasks such as summarization, rewrite, or fixing grammar, users prefer to click on a button instead of writing "summarize this", so I've spent quite some time building this UI flow and adding commands for rewriting, grammar, translation, explaining, as well as pre-defined prompts for common tasks like drafting an email, writing a job cover letter, etc. While the hardest part about building the app was creating the collaborative editor (CRDTs, syncing, tons and tons of editor edge cases) which took much longer, the last few weeks were just so exciting to see something so useful being implemented relatively easy on top of the existing editor. What I'll focus next is increasing the context of the responses - AI responses should know the context of the current note as well as the whole workspace, then potentially context from other tools. This is a beta and still free to use. Looking forward to your feedback.
