Browser Extension

Use MemoryPlugin with any Chromium-based browser or Safari on iOS and macOS

The Browser Extension for MemoryPlugin provides seamless integration with AI chat platforms through your web browser.

Browser Compatibility

Chromium Browsers

Works with all Chromium-based browsers:

• Chrome
• Arc

• And other Chromium derivatives

Safari

Install the extension using the links below, or find them on your MemoryPlugin Dashboard after signing up.

Account email independence: Your MemoryPlugin sign‑in email does not need to match the email you use on ChatGPT, Claude, TypingMind, or any other tool. Access and permissions are tied to your MemoryPlugin account (and API key when applicable), not third‑party logins.

Installation

Chrome Web Store

Install for Chrome and Chromium-based browsers

Safari App Store

Install for Safari on iOS and macOS

After installation, sign up or log in to your MemoryPlugin Dashboard to start using the extension.

How to Use the Browser Extension

Once you install the browser extension, when you open supported AI tool websites, you will see a round MemoryPlugin button on the page. If you click on this button, you will be able to see all your memories and switch between active buckets.

Draggable Button

The MemoryPlugin button can be dragged to any position on the page. The extension remembers your preferred position for each site, so the button stays where you put it.

Drag the button to a spot that doesn’t interfere with the AI platform’s interface. Your position is saved per-site.

Extension Interface

The MemoryPlugin panel provides:

• Memory List: View all memories in your selected bucket
• Bucket Selector: Switch between different memory buckets (contexts)
• Memory Count: See how many memories are in each bucket
• Smart Mode Toggle: Enable Smart Mode for token-efficient memory loading
• Edit & Delete: Manage memories directly from the panel
• Settings: Access extension settings including chat sync and onboarding

Button Variations

Depending on the platform you are using, you will see:

1. Quick Inject Button: A larger button with “Quick Inject” text on top
2. Small MemoryPlugin Button: A smaller button near the chat input box

Both buttons perform the same function - activating MemoryPlugin for your current chat.

Memory Buckets

Organize your memories into different contexts using buckets:

• Personal: Personal information and preferences
• Work: Professional context and work-related information
• Projects: Specific project details and requirements
• Custom Buckets: Create your own categories as needed

Switch between buckets using the dropdown in the MemoryPlugin panel before injecting memories to use the appropriate context for your conversation.

Injecting Memories

The browser extension does not automatically inject memories into your chats. You need to press the MemoryPlugin button to activate MemoryPlugin for a given chat.

When you press the MemoryPlugin button, two things are added to the chat:

1. Your memories from the chosen bucket in the MemoryPlugin window
2. Instructions for the AI on how and when to add new memories

Without this activation step, MemoryPlugin is not active for the chat and your AI will not be able to read existing memories or create new ones.

When you press the MemoryPlugin button, you will see text added to the chat input field that:

1. Instructs the AI about what MemoryPlugin is and how to use it
2. Contains current memories from your chosen bucket
3. Instructs the AI on what to add to memory, and how

Adding New Memories

When you activate MemoryPlugin for a chat, the AI is instructed how to add new memories using a specific format:

to=memoryplugin&&memory=[memory text here]

The AI will trigger a new memory addition in one of two cases:

• Automatic: It thinks something is worth remembering long term
• Manual: You explicitly ask it to remember something

Visual Feedback

When a new memory is added, you will see the round MemoryPlugin button briefly show a checkmark (✓) to indicate it has detected and successfully added the new memory.

Smart Mode

Smart Mode optimizes token consumption and keeps the AI focused by intelligently organizing and presenting your memories.

How It Works

1. Automatic Categorization: Analyzes all memories in a bucket and identifies 4-7 main categories
2. Category Summaries: Creates concise summaries for each category
3. Smart Loading: Only loads full category details when relevant to the conversation
4. Token Efficiency: Reduces token usage by not overwhelming the AI with irrelevant memories

Setup

To enable Smart Mode:

1. Select a specific bucket (Smart Mode doesn’t work with “All memories”)
2. Activate Smart Mode for that bucket in the web app (one-time setup)
3. New memories will automatically be assigned to appropriate categories

Benefits

• Reduced Token Usage: Only relevant memories are loaded
• Better Focus: AI isn’t distracted by unrelated information
• Contextual Awareness: AI knows high-level information about all categories
• Automatic Management: New memories are categorized automatically

Chat History Sync

The extension can sync your conversations directly from supported platforms — no file exports needed.

Supported Sync Platforms

• ChatGPT
• Claude
• Gemini
• Grok
• DeepSeek

How It Works

Open the extension panel and go to the Sync tab. Select your platform using the icon-based provider selector, then start syncing. The extension shows real-time progress (“X/Y conversations synced”) during batch operations.

You can configure sync limits, cancel in-progress syncs, and the extension defaults to the platform you’re currently using.

TypingMind Integration

TypingMind users can also enable auto-sync from the extension settings. For the full experience, also install the TypingMind Plugin which gives AI direct access to your memories, chat history, and files.

Special Feature: Import from ChatGPT

The browser extension allows you to import your existing ChatGPT memories into MemoryPlugin with one click.

1. Install Extension

   Ensure the browser extension is installed and you’re logged in

2. Open ChatGPT Settings

   Navigate to ChatGPT and open Settings

3. Go to Personalization

   Select the “Personalization” tab

4. Access Memory Management

   Click “Manage memories”

5. Sync Memories

   Click the “Sync Memories” button with the MemoryPlugin logo

6. Wait for Completion

   The sync will complete in a few minutes

The sync process is idempotent - duplicate memories won’t be created if you run it multiple times.

Onboarding

New users are greeted with an interactive walkthrough that covers the essentials — what MemoryPlugin is, how to activate it, how to save memories, and how chat history sync works. The onboarding opens automatically on first install and can be revisited from the Settings menu (“How MemoryPlugin Works”).

Privacy & Security

Your memories are stored securely on MemoryPlugin servers and are only accessible to you when logged in.

Data Handling

• Manual Activation: Memories are only added when you explicitly activate MemoryPlugin
• Secure Transmission: All data is transmitted over HTTPS
• Authentication: Requires login to access your memories
• Bucket Isolation: Memories are organized in separate buckets for different contexts

Permissions

The extension requires certain permissions to function:

• Storage: To cache authentication and preferences
• Host Access: To inject UI into supported AI platforms
• Cookies: To maintain your login session

Troubleshooting

Button not appearing

Make sure you’re on a supported platform and the extension is enabled. Try refreshing the page.

Memories not loading

Check that you’re signed in to your MemoryPlugin account and have an active internet connection.

Sync not working

Ensure you’re signed in to both ChatGPT and MemoryPlugin, and that you have memories in ChatGPT to sync.

Extension permissions

Make sure the extension has permission to run on the AI platform websites you’re using.

Memory not being added

Ensure the AI’s response contains the proper format: to=memoryplugin&&memory=[text]

Canvas mode issues

The extension adapts to ChatGPT’s Canvas mode - refresh if buttons don’t appear correctly.
