It can be hard to leave an app when it holds years of your data. In this clip from Live with Tim O'Reilly, Common Fabric cofounder and CEO Alex Komoroske argues that people should be able to retrieve what they put into a service and use it with software they choose. When Tim asked how that would work for decades of Gmail, Alex pointed to the open source project msgvault, which keeps a local copy of email history so agents can query it without relying on Google’s service each time. LLMs could also turn awkward data exports into usable formats. For Alex, getting data back is a step toward building software that works on a person’s own turf.
