AI kept deciding what mattered in my documents. I wanted to decide that myself.

Most of my day goes into reading. Research papers, case files, judgments, long reports, sometimes all of them for the same piece of work. For years I used tools that were made for other things. Project management apps, note apps, folders, a lot of sticky notes. They were good for tasks. But they never helped with the reading itself. I would find something important on page 40 of one document, then lose it an hour later while I was in another one. I would remember that two things were connec

AI 分析

痛点：重度阅读者（论文、案卷、判决、长报告）在多个文档间丢失重点和上下文关联，AI 摘要又按自己的判断决定什么重要，用户无法用自己的判断控制取舍。

目标用户：需要大量精读与写作的知识工作者：研究员、律师/法务、分析师、研究生、咨询顾问。

证据：Earlier, when I uploaded a document to AI, the AI decided what was relevant. Now my highlights decide what is relevant, and the draft is built around them. / I would find something important on page 40 of one document, then lose it an hour later while I was in another one. / It's at app.mayorshall.com if anyone wants to try it. I would really like to hear from people who read and research a lot.

变现：Freemium 订阅制：免费版限量高亮与文档数，Pro 版 8–12 美元/月解锁无限文档、跨文档链接、AI 插件导出、PDF 页码精确回溯；面向律所/研究团队做 20–30 美元/席位的团队版。

MVP：两周内做 Chrome 扩展 + Web 应用：划词高亮并自动记录来源 URL/PDF 页码，打标签与手动建立跨文档关联，一键把「高亮优先、全文为辅」的结构化上下文导出成 ChatGPT/Claude 提示词或 Markdown；暂不做桌面端，先验证高亮优先的 AI 写作流程是否被反复使用。

竞品：Readwise Reader、NotebookLM、Heptabase、Zotero、Memex、Obsidian + 插件

摘要：作者因长期阅读论文、案卷和判决，发现笔记类工具无法解决「第 40 页的重点一小时后就找不回来」的问题，于是自建 May or Shall：高亮保留来源与页码、可跨文档链接，并通过插件让 ChatGPT 在生成草稿时优先关注用户自己的高亮，而非由 AI 决定什么重要。产品已支持 Windows/Mac/Chrome，但帖中没有任何定价、收入或他人付费反馈，付费意愿尚未验证；该方向竞品密集，差异化点在于「用户高亮驱动 AI」而非「AI 自动摘要」。
