The Posthog Docs AI is actually pretty good. That's the first time I've actually found the bot useful rather than an annoying hindrance.

I did think about digging up some of my old code to do something like real-time syncing, but it's such a pain to get right, and I don't think I'd like to have a model running on-device or a 3rd-party. Feels like it would be more complexity than necessary for an MVP.

I'm tinkering with the idea of building a tiny teleprompter to go over the webcam in your laptop screen.

What do people think of that?
