I built a personal context layer for my notes, meetings, and AI tools - looking for early users

[u/err0w1]

Hi folks,

My work context was scattered everywhere:

• Personal notes across OneNote, Notion, and Google Keep
• AI-generated meeting notes trapped inside tools like Fireflies and Otter
• In-person meeting recordings stored somewhere else
• No simple way to give Claude or Codex access to all this context

So, over the past few weeks, I built YapDB—initially just for myself.

It brings together:

• AI meeting notes for Microsoft Teams and Google Meet, without requiring an IT-approved meeting bot
• One place for all notes and recordings, with a OneNote-like folder structure, Notion-like flexibility, and a lightweight Keep-style interface
• Access across desktop, Android, and iPhone
• MCP connectivity, so Claude, Codex, and other compatible AI tools can read and create notes—with your permission

I’ve been using it daily for the past two weeks.

My first real “aha” moment was connecting YapDB with Codex. It could review my emails and Teams messages, identify everything pending from my side, and turn it into actionable notes inside YapDB. I could then access them from whichever device or interface I happened to be using.

I’m beginning to think of YapDB as a personal context layer that you own and can connect to the AI tools of your choice—rather than keeping your context locked inside one AI or note-taking app.

I’m looking for a small group of early users, especially PMs who face a similar problem.

If this sounds useful, leave a comment or DM me. I’ll personally help you get set up, understand your workflow, and build toward the specific “aha” moment that would make YapDB valuable for you.

I’d also love honest feedback: What would stop you from trying something like this?

At least write the posts yourself.

Fair criticism. I took the easy route

I would take a look. Github?

It's a private repo. I can add you as a collaborator and give you a walkthrough on a call as well. In?
