Memo
Memo is a Chrome add-on that turns your browsing into a chat. You click to save an article, a product page, or even a YouTube video, and Memo keeps it for you. Later you can ask questions about everything you saved and get answers in plain words.
What you can do
Point and click to grab any part of a page, and Memo writes a short summary and suggests tags so you never have to file things by hand. YouTube videos come in with their transcripts too. Then you chat: ask “what did I save about React?” and Memo answers using only your own saved notes, with a link back to each source.
Your AI, your choice
Memo works with four AI helpers: Claude, GPT, Gemini, or Ollama. Ollama runs a model right on your own computer, so for private work nothing ever leaves your machine. Your saved content lives on your computer by default, with no tracking and no analytics.
Who it is for
Anyone who finds great things online and loses them. Researchers, shoppers, and lifelong learners turn a pile of bookmarks into a knowledge base they can actually talk to.

Story
Access first, models second
On day one with my desktop AI machine I did not pick a model. I set up how I reach it. Models change every six months. Good access lasts for years.
