One of the key features in Claude Code is "Agentic Search" aka using (rip)grep/ls to search a codebase without any of the overhead of RAG.

Sounds like even RAG approaches use a similar approach (Query Generation).

I wrote about how it works here: https://gabeoleary.com/posts/venmo-deeplinking-including-fro...

When I wrote this it only worked on mobile. The deep link would take one into the app with the amount/details etc prefilled out. Just tested and it looks like the same format works on desktop now too.

I had until just now not realized that Plaid has a Venmo integration.

I could imagine using the deep link to begin the transaction and then using the plaid connection to look for it's completion...

I created a tool that helps people stay on top of shared transactions (https://reconcile.app/) a few years ago and have recently been working on another iteration of it that has some similarities to what you've built, but with a focus on couples who share much of but not all of their financial lives.

You can record steps & have the extension replay them on your machine or in the cloud (presumably using puppeteer/playwright).

My gf uses https://foyr.com once we have the floor plan nailed to get an idea about what colors, textures & furniture to use in a space. It supports higher def renderings. It's kind of expensive though iirc.

They talk about the distinction between reading a book where you have no distractions and no "next" task to move on to and reading on a device - where you are a mere click away from other information & stimulation.

In order to spend actual time reading articles you need to get into a state where you aren't reading to be done with the article and don't care how much time you spend in this state which is pretty hard.

Apps like Pocket/Upnext/Matter/Readwise help, but I find that it takes more than this. People often send their articles to a kindle to facilitate this kind of reading.
