I think LLMs could have a reasonable chance at solving tab-related workflows (keeping track of tabs or the idea/concept of tabs) - that is tracking and sorting lots of small related research ideas.
Sort of like a backwards perplexity search. (LLM context is from open tabs rather than the tool that brings you to those tabs)
I built a tab manager extension a long time ago that people used but ran into the same problem- the concept of tab management runs deeper than just the tabs themselves.
Yeah, I feel LLMs can finally solve the tab overload issue. I suffer from this constantly.
I added few features which I felt would be useful
- easy way to organise and group tabs
- simple way to save and resume sessions with selective context.
What are your problems that you would like to see solved?
I don't like the idea of letting the LLM run wild and categorize things directly, but in a tab-organizing view it would be useful to add more semantic sorting of the tabs- maybe it would enable something like multiple tab-view control panel: Show all the AI tabs. Show all the image diffusion tabs. Show all the LLM tabs. (so overlapping views of sets of tabs)
This would of course apply to not just open tabs but tabs I used to have open, where the LLM knows about my browsing history.
But I think I would want a non-chat interface for this. (of course at any time I could chat/ask a question as well)
I think a large part of it is us, as user, we lake the appropriate discipline.
Resist the call to open in a tab every link in this article, overcome the fear of losing something if all these tabs lagging behind are closed right now without further consideration.
