Side note: Having built a similar app, Hebbia is on to something big. I’m biased of course. But how much time do we spend finding the right information daily? A range of statistics suggest 30-70%. Imagine if we could save even just half an hour for every knowledge worker (even though we’ll just fill that up with more work).
