Personal AI Memory

Captures and stores your chat from various AI platforms

2026-03-04

Product Introduction

  1. Definition: Personal AI Memory is a privacy-first browser extension (Chrome) that locally captures, indexes, and manages conversations from AI platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity. It operates as a local-first knowledge graph for AI interactions, using Manifest V3 and WebAssembly for on-device data processing.
  2. Core Value Proposition: It solves fragmented AI conversation history by providing unified, private local storage for prompt engineering, enabling seamless context recall without cloud dependency or data leaks.

Main Features

  1. Local-First Architecture: Stores all data in the browser’s IndexedDB using Manifest V3 security protocols. WebAssembly handles on-device indexing and search operations, ensuring zero data transmission to external servers.
  2. Passive DOM Capture: Automatically parses and extracts conversations from supported AI platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity) by monitoring DOM changes in real-time, requiring no manual input or API integrations.
  3. Instant Context Recall: Allows one-click injection of historical prompts/responses into new AI chats via a native UI overlay. Supports semantic search across all locally stored conversations.
  4. Cross-Platform Backup: Imports/export conversations via platform-specific formats (e.g., OpenAI’s conversations.json, Google Takeout for Gemini) and organizes them into searchable folders with metadata tagging.

Problems Solved

  1. Pain Point: Fragmented AI conversation history across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, causing lost context, repetitive prompting, and reduced productivity.
  2. Target Audience:
    • AI power users (prompt engineers, researchers) juggling multiple models.
    • Privacy-sensitive professionals (healthcare, legal, finance) requiring confidential AI interactions.
    • Developers optimizing LLM workflows across coding, writing, and research.
  3. Use Cases:
    • Recalling a ChatGPT coding solution during a Claude debugging session.
    • Injecting Perplexity research context into Gemini for iterative query refinement.
    • Auditing prompt history for compliance without cloud storage risks.

Unique Advantages

  1. Differentiation: Unlike cloud-based tools (Notion AI, Mem.ai), it requires no API keys, servers, or subscriptions. Outperforms manual history tracking with automated, real-time capture and zero telemetry.
  2. Key Innovation: WebAssembly-powered local processing enables complex indexing/recall without performance lag. Manifest V3 ensures Chrome compliance while blocking data exfiltration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  1. How does Personal AI Memory ensure privacy with no servers?
    All data is confined to your device’s IndexedDB, encrypted by default, with zero cloud sync or third-party access—verified via open-source code audits.
  2. Can I use this with existing ChatGPT/Gemini history?
    Yes, import OpenAI’s conversations.json or Google Takeout data directly into the extension for unified local search and organization.
  3. Does it slow down my browser during AI sessions?
    No. WebAssembly optimizes resource usage for minimal CPU impact, and passive DOM parsing operates silently in the background.
  4. What happens if I switch browsers or devices?
    Export your memory as a backup file and import it into another Chrome instance; no cloud sync preserves privacy but requires manual transfer.
  5. Is there support for non-English AI platforms?
    Yes, the DOM parser works language-agnostically, supporting all languages offered by ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity.
