    Logical direction, but the real killer feature would be for an LLM to read every page you bookmark and not just categorize it once for you, but add it to a queryable knowledge-base that you can reference at any point in future conversations.

    I had an issue with my bookmarks where I used chrome for about a decade and then one fateful day, I allowed Microsoft edge to try to clone my bookmarks. It corrupted everything. Now I have hundreds of copies of duplicated folders and links. It would be great if this or another tool could help get it restored.

    I also wanted to do something like this. And I had other ideas for extensions using LLM to enhence the experience on the browser. Another one I wanted to do was a focus helper that notifies you (or block you ?) when you're not in a tab related to your work. You set a goal for your current session, e.g. "I'm currently working on my backend server", and the extension reacts on tabs unrelated to that (e.g. news websites or cat videos).

    I think we're gonna be close to that, there's already models running in the browser (with https://webllm.mlc.ai/) the next step is to make it more efficient.

    This is very helpful, exactly what I was looking for. I am using a custom local extension which submits bookmarks to https://dynalist.io/ and was thinking of integrating chatgpt with that somehow.

    I haven't tried it yet but looking at screenshots, it will be nice if it supports importing and exporting bookmarks as plaintext. Even better a custom store for bookmarks.

    I wonder how far off we are from a time where functionality like this will not require you to announce your daily activities to OpenAI or any other third party.

    This looks so useful to me but at the same time I could never use this, or the hundred other insanely useful things like this that all rely on OpenAI or some other equally dubious party. (Dubious meaning the party being someone other than me.)

    If you want a similar extension which works without sending data to an external server, I made Pinbot as an experiment: https://getpinbot.com

    Thank you. I really needed it.
