Not a chatbot — a thinking space
Most AI apps are built for quick Q&A, not for staying with a question that is still taking shape. LittleTree AI doesn’t rush you toward an answer — it helps you break the problem apart, ask clearer questions, and keep a thread you can return to.
What It Feels Like
Debugging — ask the right question first
This API returns 504 sporadically, but I checked the logs and there’s no timeout.
LittleTree AI: A 504 doesn’t necessarily mean your service timed out. Do you have a reverse proxy or gateway in front?
There’s an Nginx, but I haven’t touched the config… wait
LittleTree AI: What are you thinking?
proxy_read_timeout defaults to 60 seconds. That query does take about a minute when there’s a lot of data.
LittleTree AI: That adds up. It’s not your service dying — Nginx is giving up first. But — do you also want to think about why that query takes that long?
Thinking it through — seeing what you missed
I want to build a personal knowledge base — Markdown support, bidirectional links, full-text search, offline-first…
LittleTree AI: That’s four major features. If you could only ship one first, which one?
Probably the Markdown editor — that’s foundational.
LittleTree AI: Another angle — you already have a handful of Markdown editors. What’s the real pain: “hard to write” or “impossible to find what I wrote”?
…actually it’s finding things. I write tons of notes but never look back at them.
LittleTree AI: Then maybe search and resurfacing should come first, not another editor.
A fleeting idea — capture now, think later
We could send push notifications based on each user’s active hours instead of a global schedule
LittleTree AI: Good idea. Want to expand on it now, or just save it?
Save it for now
LittleTree AI: Noted. Tagged it “personalized push timing” — search for that when you’re ready.

Personal use stage, still refining the core experience.
