There has been a lot of talk around building context for AI systems. In consumer software, we have seen startups being built around search, documents, and meetings. All of them want to capture context from your digital life, provide connections to other tools, and let you query all that data. Some tools went further. For instance, Rewind (which became Limitless and sold to Meta) and Microsoft Recall aim to capture everything happening on your screen and help you remember it all.
A new startup called Littlebird is trying a similar thing with a slightly different approach. While apps like Rewind store screenshots or some kind of visual data, Littlebird is “reading” the screen and storing the context in text format.
