Snapsked – Turn screenshots & photos into action items on calendar

Hacker News

Like many, I save a ton of screenshots and photos to remember things -- and then forget lol. Snapsked is a simple tool that takes images, extracts action items, and syncs to your calendar automatically. Some real-life examples: https://bit.ly/snapskeddemo It’s a small step towards an ambitious idea I’ve had for a while (see background in the comment below if interested): What if an AI could look what you’re looking at (your screens, handwritten notes etc.) while you’re working; understood relevant action items; and helped with things on demand? Just like having a peer look over your shoulder to help when needed. I know it feels like it should be easy to build something like this with vision models available today, but there is one key issue: Models like GPT-4V, even when they work reliably, get expensive soon and are not ideal for end-user use-cases. I spent the last few months working on addressing this key technical problem, and I’ve been able to build an inference flow that works reliably at ~1/10th of the cost of GPT-4V, for this specific use case; thus making it affordable for many today. I'm looking for early users and useful feedback. Sign up at snapsked.org and follow x.com/snapsked for updates. Also open for any questions here or on my personal X/Twitter (same id as my HN).
