The Memory Machine
About The Memory Machine
The Memory Machine is a Chrome extension that lets users capture and reuse web content as context for AI conversations. It allows intentional saving of selected text, viewport, or full pages directly from the browser without automatic collection. Users can review saved memories, check relevance scores, and edit sources before applying suggested prompts in ChatGPT. The extension maintains five recent memories on-device without an account or synchronizes them across sessions when signed in. It supports explicit capture and review, showing which memories were used and why in each suggestion. The tool is designed for context-heavy decisions where prior knowledge matters, such as job searches, learning, product research, or complex projects. It integrates specifically with ChatGPT in its pilot phase but uses a provider-neutral backend that may support additional destinations later.
