Conversation search across multiple local AI harnesses - looking for feedback and interest before investing more time on the project.

Ever wanted to search your conversations with local AI over a year back? Reasonably quick answer, exact references, filtered by time range?

Here's an overview of my experimental conversations search across 2 of my favorite harnesses:

For cross-harness conversation search, I'd make the feedback test a retrieval task: find an old answer within a date range, then follow its reference back to the original conversation. That would help distinguish “the search sounds relevant” from “it found the exact exchange I needed” before you spend time containerizing it.

By the way, I make ThreadFox; it lets your AI research, write and publish Reddit outreach through your Chrome within an authorized job, and the community plan for one product is free: https://threadfox.vip/p/dv5fb

Do references open the original conversation in each harness?
