https://meetlace.ai - LACE, a self-organising research companion for long-horizon inquiry.
With LLMs, generating ideas and snippets is cheap; what’s hard is keeping track of fragments with their “why I cared” context over months. Most tools (Notion/Obsidian/etc.) assume you will do the work (folder/tag/linking) structure will maintain it forever. I don’t.
In LACE we: – capture fragments from the web via a browser extension – auto-cluster them into evolving “threads” / projects with summaries & reading lists – maintain a graph of connections across threads (“topology of attention”) – let you turn a cluster of fragments into an essay draft when you’re ready to share.
Stack is a fairly standard web app + LLM pipeline. Used neo4j's llm-graph-builder as a starting point.
The interesting bit is self-organising graph. treating fragments/questions/lines of inquiry as first-class objects and letting the system reorganise around them over time instead of fixed folders.
It’s in a small test phase right now. If you’re a researcher/writer/engineer/founder who constantly loses good ideas in your notes and want to try something opinionated in this space, I’d love feedback.

Curious, where are you going with this?, this sounds and looks really interesting. Would love to help/contribute :)
Thanks! really appreciate it! Shortly: We're trying to turn LACE into a curiosity engine instead of another note graveyard.
Right now you can clip fragments from the web, LACE auto-organises them into evolving research threads, builds a concept graph + summaries, and lets you chat with your own library (find bridge connections, pull related papers, or turn a cluster into an essay draft).
Where we're going: more “emergent” behaviour – high-signal rabbit holes (papers, videos, posts) based on what you’re actually working on, plus light collaboration so people can share drafts and reading lists around a question. The idea is that LACE keeps organising and resurfacing things for you, on the right time, instead of you fighting with folders/tags in Obsidian/Notion.
If that sounds fun, I'd love it if you can give it a spin and give us feedback. I'm on https://x.com/oyayla_ - if you can DM me I can also invite you to our Telegram group.
This is brilliant. Love the UI too!
Thanks, appreciate it! The UI is still early so it’s great to hear it lands. curious what kind of stuff you’d imagine using it for most
