Follow new updates and improvements to Memex.
May 16th 2024
From now on in the free AI Powerup we measure AI page sessions from tab open to close/navigate away. Reason is that honestly AI got far, but even with all of our tweaking, sometimes it just needs more than one attempt at writing a prompt or query to get what you need, and there is nothing more frustrating than seeing your counter go down without having gotten value out of it.
Now you can work on a single document as much as you want until a session concludes with you closing the tab or navigating to another page in the same tab and using the AI features there. This works for both summaries on all documents and YouTube's AI notes.
With the new update to GPT-4o you have now 2x the speed, 50% of the costs and significantly better answers to your questions and summaries
You have to save the page currently to get the metadata.
We know it can be better but don't have the time to improve on that just yet. Let us know if you have a high frequency workflow that requires you to have the page not saved yet and we can could increase the priority.
Fix bug where first use after installing the extension with an existing account will hit your payment walls instantly (unless you go to "My Account" page) to manually fetch the subscription data by loading the page.
Fix state issue where newly created annotations are added to Spaces in the UI but should not (though data wise correctly saved)
Fix the toggle for "Expand and Compress" that regressed after the v1 of the search improvements
Fix bug where the "sharing" state of a note in the dashboard is not properly displayed
Fix a bug where there was a race condition between creating a space, sharing it and moving it around, causing data issues. Root cause fixed, data clean up still outstanding.
Regression where creating a timestamp on YouTube would not autofocus the text field to keep writing.

Greatly improve the output quality of AI notes and summaries, in particular on YouTube but also when containing special syntax like " ( ) [ ]
Add 20% discount for people who upgrade to a powerup while in Trial
Improve UX of selecting GPT-4 and having no upgrade available

This has been our oldest piece of feature and code that just got a good revamp.
Since a lot has changed, feedback about bugs and UX improvements much appreciated.
Annotations and pages are now in the same results list, enabling more user friendly search for annotations in particular
New Filters flags (type one or more of them into the search bar) - Case INsensitive
Just add any combination of them to the query once. Default is all enabled. UI coming soon.
inTitle
Only match the title
inContent
Only match the content
inHighlight
Only match the highlighted text
inComment
Only match your notes
Support for bulk selecting annotations to
Copy to clipboard
Add to Spaces
Delete
Speed improvements for content type filters
Matching terms highlighting for for page and annotation results
In the view without applied terms or filters it can happen that a page shows without annotations even if they have some. This happens bc the page appeared twice in the results. e.g because it has been saved on one day and annotated on the next (fixed very soon)
Workaround is simply clicking on the "notes" button, they will then show up in the sidebar, just not in the results list.
More filters (already in development)
Partial search matches with word starts (Already live in 3.19.4, but only on Firefox as of writing)
"Hou*" will find "House" and "Houdini"
Simply add * anywhere in the query
Also toggleable for default exact or fuzzy matching
By Author
HasAnnotations
Finds all pages that have annotations (or not)
HasSpaces
Finds all pages that have spaces (or not)
All of the above filters accessible via UI instead of just query commands
Search for Spaces in the search bar
