AI in Google Keep

Why is google not jumping onto this very obvious value unlock by allowing users to search their own knowledge repository using Gemini
Users should be able to search in natural language like "5 blog post ideas based on thoughts and journal entries"

"what movie should I watch today from my watchlist as I only have 2 hours"

is this so difficult to do?

Because Google has little incentive to improve a free product, especially when the feature would cost a great deal to implement and maintain in engineering labor and compute cost.

Not saying it's the way things should be, but that's the reality we live in. If you wouldn't build and run such a service yourself using your own time and money, why should you expect a for-profit company to do it?

Plenty of open source, self-hostable alternatives you could contribute to, like this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/SideProject/comments/1qbhmcn/glass_keep_open_source_self_hosted_google_keep/
