Show HN: Zuni (YC S24) – AI Copilot for the Browser Hi HN, I'm Will, and along with my co-founder George, we've built Zuni ( https://zuni.app ) - a browser extension that adds contextual AI capabilities to your browser. It understands what you're reading and working on, whether that's email, research, or anything else in your tabs. We started out building a full email client with AI built in (you might have seen that version showcased in YC’s AI Design Review - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBhSfROq3wU&t=1601s ), but learned that people don't actually want to leave their existing tools - they just want them to work better. Gmail might be frustrating, but it has years of features people rely on. So we pivoted to enhance the tools people already use, rather than replace them entirely. Some specific things Zuni does today: - Analyzes emails as you read them in Gmail, identifying action items and suggesting possible responses - Lets you discuss how to handle tricky emails, almost like having a thought partner - Maintains context across your browsing session so you can ask follow-up questions naturally - Runs locally first for speed and privacy - Doesn't store chats, emails or anything sensitive in the cloud We're still early and focusing on getting the core experience right before adding more integrations. The goal is to make AI actually useful in your daily work, rather than just another "AI feature" checkbox. Would genuinely love feedback from the HN community - what would make this truly useful for your workflow? What are we missing? Happy to answer any questions about the technical implementation too. https://zuni.app April 17, 2025 at 08:45PM
