I was tired of leaving 50 tabs open, downloading PDFs that just sat on my phone, and saving YouTube lectures “for later” that I never watched, so I built an AI‑powered workspace for all my articles, docs and videos.

Most days looked like this:

Safari/Chrome with multiple windows of “important” tabs I was scared to close

PDFs and lecture slides buried in Downloads or WhatsApp/Telegram

YouTube talks and courses dumped into Watch Later, never to be seen again

Random notes about all of this scattered across different apps

It felt like I was hoarding information instead of actually learning anything. Any time I needed to revise a topic or work on something serious, I ended up hunting for links, re‑opening old tabs and rereading long articles from scratch just to remind myself what was inside.

SneefAI is my attempt to fix that behaviour.

What it does:

One workspace for all your articles, docs and videos

You save a link, it pulls in the content (where possible)

Turns it into bite‑size chunks you can:

skim as summaries

swipe through like short‑form cards

explore as simple outlines/timelines/charts

You can then chat with a stack of content to:

ask questions

get explanations for bits you don’t understand

surface key points without rereading everything

What’s different from typical read‑it‑later tools:

It treats articles, PDFs and videos the same way, in one place (not just text).

The focus isn’t on “saving links” but on actually using what you saved for studying, research and building things.

The core unit is a stack (e.g. “Heart failure papers”, “Orthopaedics notes”, “Fundraising essays”) and the AI works across the stack, not only one page at a time.

Current state:

Live at https://sneefai.com

You can sign up, create stacks, add links and try the summaries + chat.

Very early; plenty of rough edges.

I’d love honest feedback from people who also live in tab hell or juggle research across multiple apps.
