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.

the ability to do this is pretty accessible nowadays, its just a little expensive for normal use for the layman

Zenfetch (https://www.zenfetch.com/) does an awesome job at this!

There is a nice opensource extension that does exactly that: https://github.com/memex-life/memex

I tried to use it, and it just does not work very well, I don't it's because implementation is bad, it's just RAG (retrieval based generation) does not work well outside of some simple use cases.

alway wonder why browsers don't keep at least a text version of the pages for search

nowadays I expect browsers to incorporate small LLMs like Mistral out of the box

What are those simple use cases, and where do you see Retrieval Augmented Generation fall over?

I think it works better if query is a larger chunk of text. Like, if you have an email from a customer and want to compose a response based on some relevant documentation, it should work well.

But for a use case where you want to retrieve something from browsing history you would mainly use a short search query, just few words. in this case embeddings are too ambiguous and relevance of retrieved content is not great.

if history search worked better then you would visit google/bing less, so I expect pushback from browser vendors
