On-device AI memory for AI researchers
Save a finding from a paper, ML blog post or news article as a "bit" straight from the page you are reading.
The AI that indexes and recalls your bits runs locally and does not send data to any server.
All bits are stored and indexed on your own machine rather than in the cloud.
Look up what you saved even without an internet connection.
