Launching Relevel.me

Personally my long term memory is very bad for broad things, like how people are able to tell stories about how someone reacted over something, what was the color of dress they were wearing, what item on the menu we ordered - even like 2-3 weeks/months/years back, the same memories for me get blurred. I don't remember these things.

I seriously thought about why this was happening to me and some problems that came to my mind were

  1. Some kind of deficiency - I learnt what I am experiencing is called brain fog
  2. Too much information overload / simulation - too much content I get exposed to
  3. My life has been too happening for me to even register these things - hehe

One thing I used to actively practice was not paying attention to not important stuff ( anything that was not related to coding or some real business problem statement ) and this seems to have unknowingly made my condition even worse across the board - by the time I realized this it had become second nature - rectyfing it by being concious about is WIP

I tried keeping notion, noting down important thoughts, concepts and goals but again opening notion again to read them was a chore - even maitaining consistency was a lot of work

Things I have tried before building this

  1. Snapchat - take photo of things and just save it to revisit things in past - worked better than camera because of the gamified element in it
  2. Whatsapp - me chat - used to text myself about things - cross sync from pc to phone - was very unmanageable for longer notes
  3. Voice Memos - syncing was hard - search or skimming through them was impossible - no auto transcript
  4. Notion / Obsidian / Google Docs / .md documents - Rarely re-visited, after 2-4 weeks of trying - notion I stuck with the longest I think around 6 months - was a pretty organized place but had some friction
  5. Google Calendar + todo - Started colliding with my work and I started micromanaging my time - started filling the calendar every spot - weird
  6. Using a notepad and pen - worked well - reduced screen time - recommended - was better than diary given it was pocket size and portable - but could not write paragraph in it

The idea came to me in my college days In sci fi movies I loved how the scientists used a mic to record thoughts and iterations over experiment I tried using the voice recorder on the phone to achieve it - but again you could not read it - arranging / syncing it to cloud was an issue and I did not have the time to code something like that end to end at that point of time, thanks to AI I feel like I can finally make it

With AI it is possible to take this even further With voice first design it is possible even for people who are not very well versed with computers / apps to use this seamlessly
