Take it with you.
Your work, interests and plans shouldn’t be useful only inside a conversation. Ask your assistant to turn what it knows into a profile you can use.

The point worth reading.
The explanation that makes it make sense.
A reading aid, not a verdict. Local matching can miss meaning. Optional AI analysis uses your own API key; you choose when to request it.

Your profile.
Your boundaries.
Keep, edit or delete your profile. Ordinary analysis runs in your browser. Your saved profile and reading data are encrypted locally with your password.
Readwise, Obsidian and browser history are optional. So is external AI. Syncing Readwise or requesting AI analysis sends the data needed for that action to the chosen service.
How your data is handled ↗A note from the maker
“An article can be good and still not be what you need right now. That’s the idea I’m building Attention around.”
Aleksey Voloschuk — creator of Attention
Attention grew out of the ideas I explore in my book, After Labor and Capital: The Political Economy of the Transitional Period (OSF). It brings that work on the value of information into everyday reading: what is this information worth to you, right now?
An early product, shaped by real reading and feedback. Donations are optional.
The next move is yours.
Take your context.
Make your choice.
