Memex Garden adds AI

I have been using several social bookmarking services. A social bookmarking service is the first step in my “read a web page” to “write a blog post” workflow. Social implies the potential for sharing web pages and annotations with others.

I have written about Memex Garden in at least one previous post. I invested in developing this service when it was first developed and the company responsible has now transitioned to a subscription model declaring the service is now ready for prime time. One of the final features added was AI.

Memex uses AI to summarize web pages or parts of web pages. When activated as a browser extension, a side bar can be opened and one of the options is Summary (first image). Content generated as an AI summary, note, or highlight can be exported in several ways (second image).

The following is an example of a web page summary written by the Memex AI tool. The page summarized is about the new Kahn Academy AI tool.

Khan Academy has launched a limited pilot of a new learning guide called Khanmigo for educators, powered by GPT-4, the next generation of OpenAI’s large language model technology. GPT-4 is the successor to OpenAI’s GPT-3.5, which ChatGPT is built upon. It can accept images as input, handle up to 25,000 words of text at once, and is designed with more safety and alignment features, among other changes. Khanmigo is designed to help teachers create personalized learning plans for their students. It uses GPT-4 to analyze student data and provide recommendations for activities and resources that will help them learn more effectively. The tool also includes features like progress tracking and assessment tools to help teachers monitor student progress. The pilot program is currently limited to a small group of educators, but Khan Academy plans to expand it in the future. The company believes that Khanmigo has the potential to revolutionize education by providing teachers with powerful tools to help them personalize learning for each student.

As I explained at the beginning of this post, Memex Garden has now moved to a subscription pricing system. Details are provided in the following image.
