I'm confused by the example they gave.

> What is the meaning of a life well-lived?

Is the response to this based on browser data? Based on the description I was expecting queries more like:

> What was the name of that pdf I downloaded yesterday?

> What are my top 3 most visited sites?

> What type of content do I generally interact with?

One thing you'll see from a lot of these LLM examples and demos are intentionally subjective queries, so they can't be judged on pass/fail criteria.

For example, you'll see things like "where should I visit in Japan?" or "how should I plan a bachelor party?", because they are a huge variety of answers that are all "correct", regardless of how much you disagree with them. There is also a huge number of examples from them to draw from, especially compared to something as specific as your browsing history.

That information is already available. You want a better search interface.

They could private a local url called "about:wrapped" that gives a summary of your usage like Spotify Wrapped. The top 100 sites, you can click on a site for more info like what pages did you visit, when, how often, etc.

Yes, exactly, I want a search interface that's an LLM instead of a bunch of menus.
