I built a voice-first app because I kept forgetting the things I actually cared about — looking for brutally useful feedback

I’ve always been terrible at capturing things.

An idea while walking. Something a friend recommended. A restaurant I wanted to try. Something I promised I’d do next week. A random thought about work.

I tried Notes, reminders, calendars, Notion, etc. The problem wasn’t that I didn’t have somewhere to put things.

The problem was that organizing my thoughts required more effort than just having the thought.

So my cofounder and I built Taim.

The idea is pretty simple: you talk to Taim like you’d talk to yourself.

You can dump something messy like:

“Sarah told me about this ramen place in Brooklyn. I should take her there next time she visits. Also remind me to ask her how her interview went.”

Instead of storing that as another random note, Taim tries to understand it and organize the useful pieces: the person, the place, the thing you wanted to remember, and anything actionable like a reminder or task.

Over time, the goal is for Taim to become a kind of searchable memory for your life — things you wanted to do, ideas you’ve had, people you care about, plans you’ve made, etc.

We’re still early, and I specifically don’t want this post to be “check out my cool startup.”

I’d love feedback on three things:

  1. Does this solve a problem you actually have?
  2. What would stop you from using something like this?
  3. What would Taim have to do exceptionally well for you to use it every day?

Feel free to tear apart the idea/product. Critical feedback is much more useful to us right now than “looks cool.”
