the problem
Reflect's users had three years of notes and could only search by keyword. Long-tail queries returned nothing useful.
the solution
I built a semantic search layer on top of their existing storage. Notes are embedded on write, queries are routed through a small ranking model. Results return in under 200ms.
human contribution
I prototyped the embedding pipeline myself. AI handled the API surface and the test harness.
