remio: Your Personal ChatGPT

remio is a personal AI assistant built around a private knowledge base that assembles itself from a user's daily work. Instead of asking people to upload documents or copy-paste context into a chat window, it runs quietly in the background on desktop, capturing web pages, meeting audio, emails, files, images, and notes as they happen. All of that material is indexed into a searchable store that the built-in AI can query directly, with the Ask remio feature returning conversational answers along with citations back to the original source material. In practice, the tool combines several capture channels: a desktop app for Windows 10+ x64 and Apple Silicon Macs that watches local files and records meetings without bots or extra hardware, a browser extension that saves and summarizes pages as a person reads them, and mobile apps for iOS and Android for capturing notes and ideas away from the desk. Once enough context accumulates, remio's Smart Agent can act on it, drafting research reports, slide decks, and data tables pulled from a user's own captured material rather than generic web knowledge. An app market of additional agentic mini-apps and AI-suggested Collections for organizing captured content round out the workflow, with features like Knowledge Blending and Smart Write listed as upcoming additions. The tool targets knowledge workers who juggle scattered information across many apps and formats: researchers and educators building literature reviews from PDFs and lecture recordings, consultants and managers tracking competitive research and meeting notes, and engineers or founders who want a private record of their own thinking over time. remio distinguishes itself from general chat assistants such as ChatGPT, which lack persistent personal context, and from conventional local note-taking apps, which typically cannot synthesize across files, meetings, and browsing history in one place. Its local-first storage approach is aimed specifically at users who want that continuity without routing personal or work data through a third-party cloud service.
