The Client

The client is a group of curious enthusiasts building a knowledge platform that turns scattered digital content into structured stashes. They wanted to create a smart digital space for saved links, notes, media, and more, transforming it into an organized project‑planning hub.

The Challenge

Users collect high volumes of links, voice notes, and media, but struggle to retrieve and utilize them later. Manual tagging and organizing are inefficient and time-consuming. “Digital graveyards” prevention is possible with automated extraction of insights from raw data and forming searchable knowledge base.

The Solution

Notch acted as a partner who owns architecture, execution and delivery end‑to‑end, rather than just implementing isolated features. We developed an MVP featuring AI automated content extraction and intelligent summaries, supported by a dedicated cross‑functional team (UX/UI, backend, frontend, mobile, AI, DevOps) committed to continuously evolving their product.

Project Goals
  1. 1
    Working Knowledge App
    Produce one of the first AI‑native note‑taking apps in their niche, in order to capture what truly matters.
  2. 2
    Structured Capturing
    Bridging the content consumption - knowledge management gap by providing a tool for a more mindful and creative content engagement.
  3. 3
    Knowledge empowerment
    Bringing forgotten interests back to life by turning bookmarks into actionable insights, easy to resurface & use at the best time.
  4. 4
    Technical scalability
    Building a solution supported by a scalable AWS/Kubernetes infrastructure, designed for high-speed data processing.

The Product

The AI-native knowledge platform simplifies knowledge management through automated capture and enrichment. Users save links, voice notes, or media, and AI generates structured stashes with intelligent summaries, tags, and context. Insights are organized into collections and proactively resurfaced via personalized, AI-curated newsletters, saving time and keeping ideas actionable.
