Avijit_Thawani··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (November 2026)
https://pahunchi.netlify.app/ A free app for women to pretend to be on call when alone in a cab or to get out of a bad date. Can share location, voice note on a realistic call where AI responds in your language (currently supports Hindi, English).

Avijit_Thawani··on Agent memory as a file format
"Irrelevant material is simply never surfaced by the semantic search." thats quite optimistic. there's lots of "memory" or past chats with agents that should be suppressed and forgotten because they were looking in the wrong place or were eventually proven wrong. yet semantically they'd look very relevant to a future search. thats why you shouldn't search both textbooks and scifi when trying to solve an examination.
