God, I was interested in the pitch until "and AI". I'm just so, so tired of LLMs and having to work around all the new and surprising ways they don't quite work the way they're supposed to. At the very least, when other programs don't work the way I want them to, I can usually get used to the issue or find a workaround sometimes. When something is AI-powered, I just have to kind of resign myself to the fact that sometimes it's just... not gonna do the thing. And usually in a new way that I have to develop a new workaround for, or sometimes there's just no workaround, it just sometimes doesn't work and you have to deal with that! It's like I can never develop any sort of armour around the rushed or poor decisions and features I encounter, because it's fresh, interesting poor decisions, automated at scale! |

TLDR: AI word is overthrown these days, sorry about that. But, what makes Struct different isn't AI. It's feeds and threads.
Longer version: The AI in Struct is, IMO, a balanced approach. Struct is different, not because of AI. It's different because of going hard on feeds and threads.
And AI helps in generating titles and summaries for threads -- something which pre-2023 me would have basically asked the user to create. In fact, that was the original idea that users would set their own titles for threads. But, users are forgetful and threads deviate from their intended purpose. And that's where AI can really help -- keep both title and summary up to date.
And you could stop there with the AI.
But, then you start playing with Struct bot, and it's ability to recall bits of information from older threads -- that's really nice. It's saved me so much digging around, personally. But, it's optional, you never have to talk to it.
