Memoriq

Product Introduction

1. Definition: Memoriq is a private AI memory vault and chat archiving service, technically categorized as an end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) client-server application with a browser extension. It functions as a searchable database for conversations from multiple AI platforms.
2. Core Value Proposition: It exists to give users full ownership, control, and privacy over their valuable AI-generated knowledge. Memoriq transforms ephemeral, siloed AI chats into a persistent, private, and searchable personal knowledge base, eliminating reliance on third-party providers' storage and policies.

Main Features

1. Multi-Provider Chat Capture via Chrome Extension: The primary interface is a free Chrome extension that enables one-click saving of active conversations from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok directly into the Memoriq vault. The technical implementation involves the extension capturing the conversation DOM and formatting it before local encryption and upload.
2. End-to-End Encrypted (E2EE) Storage Architecture: All user data, including conversation text and metadata, is encrypted client-side in the browser using AES-256-GCM encryption before transmission to the server. Memoriq operates on a zero-knowledge model; the server only stores ciphertext (ciphertext: "aes256::...encrypted...") and a random initialization vector (iv: "random_per_message"). The encryption key is derived from the user's password and never leaves their device.
3. Self-Hosting & Open Source Transparency: As AGPL-licensed open source software, the entire stack—backend application, frontend dashboard, and Chrome extension—is publicly auditable on GitHub. Users can self-host the full Memoriq application on their own infrastructure, granting unlimited storage, full feature access, and the ability to independently verify the E2EE claims and data handling practices.
4. Organized, Searchable Knowledge Vault: Imported or captured chats are automatically tagged with source platform (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude), date, and size. The vault features project-based organization, filtering, and full-text search across all saved conversations, regardless of their original AI provider, creating a unified library.
5. Data Portability & Control: Memoriq ensures users are not locked in. All saved archives can be exported in a readable format or permanently deleted at any time, providing complete data portability and GDPR-compliant control over personal information.

Problems Solved

1. Pain Point: Data control and privacy loss. Valuable AI conversations containing research, business plans, code drafts, or personal health information are stored on third-party provider servers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google), where they can be read, used for model training, exposed in a data breach, or made inaccessible due to policy changes or account issues.
2. Target Audience: Privacy-conscious individuals, researchers, developers, knowledge workers, and professionals who rely on multiple AI tools (like ChatGPT and Claude) and need a secure, unified system to preserve and retrieve critical AI-assisted work.
3. Use Cases: Saving a complex, multi-turn business strategy session with Claude for future reference; archiving a detailed code debugging conversation with ChatGPT to build a personal troubleshooting library; preserving medical research summaries from Gemini for a private health folder; or maintaining a permanent record of creative brainstorming sessions with Grok.

Unique Advantages

1. Differentiation vs. Traditional Methods: Unlike simply copy-pasting chats into notes or using a provider's native (and often limited) history, Memoriq offers centralized cross-platform search, true client-side encryption for privacy, and open-source auditability. Unlike other chat-saving tools, it prioritizes a zero-knowledge security model and self-hosting from the outset.
2. Key Innovation: The key innovation is the integrated, privacy-first architecture combining a simple browser-based capture tool with a cryptographically secure, provider-agnostic storage backend. This allows for frictionless archiving of AI chats with military-grade encryption (AES-256) and guarantees that even the service operator cannot access the user's conversation content.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How do I save ChatGPT or Claude conversations to Memoriq? You can save AI chats instantly using the free Memoriq Chrome extension. After installation and a one-time login, simply navigate to your active conversation on a supported platform (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Grok) and click the Memoriq extension icon. The chat is encrypted on your device and saved to your vault without you leaving the page.
2. Is my data on Memoriq secure and private? Yes, security is built on a zero-knowledge, end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) architecture. Your conversation data is encrypted with AES-256 in your browser before it ever reaches our servers. We only store the encrypted ciphertext. We cannot read your chats, and your data is never used for AI model training.
3. What is the storage limit for Memoriq? Memoriq offers a free hosted vault with 100 MB of storage on memoriq.me. For unlimited storage and full control, you can self-host the entire application on your own server. The open-source nature of Memoriq means there are no artificial storage limits when you run your own instance.
4. How does Memoriq compare to using ChatGPT's built-in memory? ChatGPT's memory is a provider-specific feature limited to that platform, stored on OpenAI's servers, and used to personalize your experience. Memoriq is a separate, private vault that works across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok. It gives you full ownership and encryption of the chats, independent of any AI provider.
5. Can I self-host Memoriq if I don't want to use your hosted service? Absolutely. Memoriq is fully open-source under the AGPL license. You can clone the repository from GitHub, deploy it on your own server, and use the Chrome extension with your instance. This provides unlimited storage, full feature access, and complete data sovereignty.
