Hey HN,

We’ve been heads-down building MOSS - a semantic memory layer that brings AI-powered search and personalization fully on-device (No cloud | No latency | No data leaving the user’s device)

We just launched a live demo showing MOSS running entirely in-browser, performing lightning-fast semantic search over local in-browser VectorDB. This unlocks a new class of privacy-first, hybrid AI experiences that work even without a server connection.

If you’re curious about:

- how to run AI search right inside the browser

- the technical challenges behind on-device vector search

- why we believe the future is hybrid (edge + cloud)

… we’d love for you to check it out, break it down, and share your thoughts.

Early access sign-up (for devs + partners): https://form.typeform.com/to/hZKVLFKW

Let’s push on-device AI forward together!

I’m a first-time B2C founder and recently launched https://www.babymusic.ai. It’s an AI-powered app that generates personalized music for babies — not just to soothe them, but to support their brain development.

Why this?

After reading dozens of peer-reviewed papers (and speaking to a child psych PhD), I found strong, consistent evidence that exposure to specific types of music — especially early in life — can:

Improve language acquisition

Enhance emotional regulation

Boost musical aptitude

Help babies sleep better and longer

Yet most baby music apps are just Spotify playlists with cute branding.

So I built one that creates custom, research-backed audio based on cognitive principles — pleasant to hear, but intentionally designed to promote development. Think Calm/Headspace meets early childhood.

It’s getting some love from friends and early testers, but I’m hitting a wall on distribution.

This is new territory for me — I’m a builder, not a marketer — and I’d genuinely appreciate input on:

Distribution strategies (how do solo founders grow a B2C product like this?)

Getting early users beyond friends/family

UX ideas for non-tech-savvy parents

Pricing/positioning for trust in a product targeting babies

I’d also love feedback if anyone here has expertise in: audio apps, consumer trust, or building for kids.

Open to all thoughts, praise or roast.
