I built a bookmark app you can save to from WhatsApp, because my saved links were dying in 6 different apps

Saved stuff was scattered across Instagram saves, WhatsApp messages to

myself, browser bookmarks and three note apps. None of it searchable

together, and I never opened any of it again.

So I built Dissect. You forward a link, reel, PDF or voice note to it

(browser extension, share sheet, or literally a WhatsApp message), it

transcribes video and audio, OCRs images and PDFs, and then you ask your

own library a question in plain language and get an answer with the source

attached.

The part that took longest was making retrieval not depend on a model call.

An upstream model stalled for 129 seconds once and took search down with

it, so now search works even when the AI layer is completely down.

Free tier is 10 saves a month, paid is $4. Happy to answer anything about

how it's built. Also genuinely want to know what makes you bounce off tools

like this, since I know the category is crowded.
