ContextScribe: AI Research Assistant & Notes

Capture pages, PDFs & text into an AI knowledge base. Chat with citations, get research reports, tasks & calendar in a side panel.

CONTEXTSCRIBE — AI RESEARCH ASSISTANT & SECOND BRAIN, IN YOUR BROWSER'S SIDE PANEL Research usually means 30 open tabs, forgotten bookmark folders and notes you can never find again. ContextScribe fixes that: turn pages, PDFs and text into a persistent AI knowledge base — then chat with citations, run research reports and keep tasks, decisions and deadlines connected to what you learned. HOW IT WORKS (three steps) 1. Install, sign in to your free ContextScribe account, and open the side panel. 2. Right-click any page and choose "Capture this page with ContextScribe" — you see exactly what was read before anything is saved. 3. Ask it a question. It answers from your captured sources and cites each one. SAVE ANYTHING, KEEP IT FOREVER • Put the article you're reading into the panel with one click • Store articles, text-based PDFs, pasted notes and plain-text files — including Markdown notes, CSV data and saved HTML pages; scanned image-only PDFs are refused with a clear message rather than saved as junk • Each saved source is synthesized into structured memories: insights, facts, questions, decisions and tasks • Automatic duplicate + contradiction detection keeps project knowledge clean ASK YOUR KNOWLEDGE — WITH CITATIONS • Answers are grounded in the sources you captured — the AI is told to say when the material does not answer, not to invent • Every claim cites the source it came from, so you can verify in one click • Conversations persist per project — ask again tomorrow, it remembers RESEARCH REPORTS ON AUTOPILOT • Type a question; the agent reads the live web plus your workspace • Get a structured report: key findings, citations, contradictions and next steps • Turn findings into tasks with one click; re-run or export anytime A WORKSPACE THAT ACTUALLY CONNECTS • Projects separate work, study and side projects • Tasks with due dates, reminders and a real calendar • Knowledge graph shows how sources and memories connect • Version history for every memory, with restore • Search across every project you own OPTIONAL AUTOMATIC CAPTURE — OFF UNTIL YOU TURN IT ON • One switch in the Capture view of the ContextScribe side panel turns this on: every site you visit is sent to your own workspace as notes — address, title and visible text • It is off on install. The disclosure next to that switch states in full what enabling it collects, and Chrome then asks you to grant access to the pages you visit — both are required before anything is collected • Turn it off, or revoke that access in Chrome's site settings, and collection stops on the spot with any unsent items discarded • Nothing is collected from browser-internal pages or localhost, and never your keystrokes, passwords or cookies ASSISTANT BROWSER ACTIONS — ONLY FOR A TASK YOU START • Ask it to read or work the open tab and it acts there, with a visible indicator, pausing to ask before anything consequential (submitting a form, paying, uploading) • It does not bypass paywalls or login walls, does not solve CAPTCHAs and does not circumvent the usage limits or safety measures of other services. Blocked means it reports the block and stops PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No trackers, no ads, no data selling — your captured content goes only to your own workspace and the AI model you choose • Permissions that can observe your browsing are declared as optional and asked for only when you enable the feature that needs them • "Capture all tabs" reads tab addresses & titles, on your click • A manual save reads only the visible text of the article you chose • Passwords and cookies are never read, and keystrokes are never logged • When you point an assistant task at a tab, that tab's interactive elements are read so the assistant can act on them — a non-password field may be reported with its current value; passwords are never read • Bring your own OpenAI-compatible AI key if you prefer (or use the built-in one) FREE PLAN, THEN PRO Installing and saving your first item are free. A free ContextScribe account (email + password) is required, because the knowledge base lives in your workspace. An optional Pro subscription lifts the daily limits; it is sold by us, not by Google, and every core feature works without it.
