Browser Extension

Nowledge Mem Exchange captures memories and thread backups from supported web AI chat platforms. It runs in a native Chrome SidePanel alongside your conversations.

Smart Distill

The extension now treats a conversation as something it can inspect intelligently, not just export blindly. Auto-Capture and Manual Distill both read the live thread selectively, check what already exists in Mem, and then decide whether to create or update memories.

Three Ways to Capture

Auto-Capture

When enabled, the extension watches the live conversation and applies a high bar before saving anything:

• Refined conclusions: decisions, plans, finalized approaches
• Important discoveries: breakthroughs, key findings
• Knowledge explorations: deep dives, research synthesis

Routine Q&A and generic exchanges are skipped. Before saving, the extension can inspect the thread more closely, check for duplicates in Mem, and update an existing memory instead of creating a redundant one.

If Auto-Capture does save something, it first makes sure the conversation is backed up as a canonical thread in Mem. That way the memory keeps a reliable link back to the real conversation it came from.

Manual Distill

Manual Distill is for the moments when you know a conversation matters and want Mem to do a careful pass.

Instead of compressing the whole thread into one quick summary, the extension now:

• reads the live conversation selectively
• looks for motivations, constraints, decisions, and reusable context
• checks what is already in Mem
• can create or update multiple memories from one conversation when that is the better result

This makes Manual Distill much better for long working sessions, design discussions, debugging threads, and conversations where the most reusable part is in the middle rather than the last answer.

Thread Backup

Imports the full conversation as a thread. Subsequent backups only capture new messages (incremental sync). You can still back up a thread explicitly whenever you want a full archive.

The extension also backs up the canonical thread automatically when it writes new browser-derived memories, so those memories keep strong provenance without requiring you to back up every conversation manually.

For local coding assistants, Nowledge Mem also supports AI Conversation Discovery (auto-sync) with incremental updates for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and OpenCode. See Threads for details.

Supported Platforms

The extension works with the supported web AI chat platforms below:

Connect Extension to Access Mem Anywhere

If your Mem API is exposed through Settings → Access Mem Anywhere in the desktop app:

1. Open any supported AI chat page, then open the extension SidePanel
2. Click Settings
3. Set Fixed Space only if this browser profile should always stay in one named lane. Leave it empty to stay on Default.
4. In Access Mem Anywhere, paste:
   • export NMEM_API_URL="https://<your-url>"
   • export NMEM_API_KEY="nmem_..."
5. Click Fill URL + key
6. Click Save, then Test connection

Spaces

The browser extension is a fixed-lane surface.

• Leave Fixed Space empty if this browser profile should keep using Default
• Set one named space if this browser profile always belongs to one lane, such as Research Agent
• Do not expect the extension to infer per-agent routing from the web page itself

When you do set a fixed space, the extension keeps memory search, memory writes, thread reads, source reads, and Working Memory reads in that same lane.
