MemoryCache is an experimental development project to turn a local desktop environment into a personal on-device AI agent.
+ +Frequently Asked Questions
+ +No. One of the core principles of MemoryCache is that you have full control over the system, and that it all stays on your device. If you’re a developer or someone who just likes to tinker with your computer applications, and you want to cloud-ify this, feel free! But we’re looking to stay entirely local. The software will form a link with folders that you point to on your computer and will utilize the contents to generate new forms of text intended to augment your existing workflows
+Install the MemoryCache application on your computer. Run the program to start the locally-run server which will also load an interface in your browser to interact with your cache and personal AI agent. Create a new project and point to a folder (or multiple folders) on your computer for the AI to access. A process called ‘ingestion’ will make those files available to the AI to provide answers to queries and surface generated insights based on what you provide to the software
+No. MemoryCache is a hackathon-style project by the Mozilla Innovation Ecosystem team, not a Firefox project. While the project uses a Firefox extension as a way of collecting information, this is a set of scripts and tools to augment privateGPT, a native AI application. It’s meant to streamline the process of saving information that you might read in the browser to store it in your own personal library of information.
