What LinkGrep does
Modern teams work in the browser. But browsers weren't built for teams 😔. This leads to a bunch of problems like: - Knowledge/info that is hard to find (links that get lost, documentation that gets, buried, silos, etc) - Poor collaboration - Inefficient workflows LinkGrep is an AI browser copilot that solves those problems by making your browser team friendly. Specifically we help teams: 1. 🔗 Keep track of links, documents, and more automatically. With LinkGrep you'll never have to manually add or save a link. 2. 🔍 Find information that matters. LinkGrep connects with your existing tools like Notion and Slack and will automatically suggest relevant information to you as your browse (we have semantic search that you can fallback on). Demo: 3. 👥 Collaborate better. LinkGrep lets you leave notes and comments directly on web pages - you won't ever have to copy paste a link into Slack ever again. 4. 🤖 Automate team actions like opening up the right links before a meeting. Never disrupt a meeting to send a link again. Demo:

We built LinkGrep to make browsers team-friendly. It automatically tracks links and documents your team uses, connects with tools like Notion and Slack to surface relevant info while you browse, lets you leave notes and comments on web pages, and automates common team workflows like opening links before meetings.
We live in San Francisco, New York, and Jacksonville, with some remote work. After YC, we would be based in San Francisco.
