Chat with your browser bookmarks and history with your personal ai

Ball-E is a privacy-preserving, AI-powered browser extension designed to help users organize, search, and rediscover their web activity — including bookmarks, browsing history, saved links, and more — using natural language queries and context-aware personalization. It intelligently processes your browsing behavior to build a rich semantic layer over your activity, making it easier than ever to remember and access information you've previously encountered online. The extension doesn’t just track URLs. It captures page context, metadata, and behavioral signals like time spent on a page, how frequently you revisit a site, and how deeply you engage with content. Using this data, Ball-E builds a structured, searchable memory of your browsing journey. Ball-E applies natural language processing (NLP) techniques to create semantic representations of visited pages. This means you can search based on meaning instead of relying on exact keywords or page titles. You can type in phrases like “the blog I read last week about AI alignment” or “that recipe site I visited on Monday,” and Ball-E will surface relevant results — even if you don’t remember the exact site or wording. Pages are automatically categorized and tagged based on their topics, types (e.g., video, article, tool), and behavioral patterns using local AI classifiers. This removes the need for manual sorting or tagging. Over time, Ball-E also builds a lightweight, on-device interest profile that allows it to deliver personalized content recommendations — like resurfacing useful articles, reminding you to revisit content, or suggesting similar resources — all without uploading your data to the cloud. To support a seamless experience across platforms, Ball-E encrypts and securely syncs your data across devices. No matter where you're browsing, your assistant remains consistent and context-aware. What's particularly unique is that Ball-E achieves this personalization while staying true to a strict privacy-first architecture. The extension is built on a zero-knowledge foundation, meaning Ball-E itself cannot see or access your private data. Every user’s information is encrypted using a unique per-user encryption key that is never exposed. Processing happens within a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), a hardware-isolated enclave that ensures even Ball-E’s own backend cannot read or manipulate your data. All AI models either run on your device or within this secure enclave, completely removing the need for external data sharing or cloud processing. Your browsing behavior is not logged, sold, or tracked for analytics or advertising. For developers and power users, Ball-E delivers the intelligence and convenience of modern cloud-based AI without requiring you to give up control of your personal data. It enables fine-grained recall of past activity, semantically-aware search tools, a unified memory graph of your web experience, secure cross-device synchronization, and AI-powered suggestions that work solely for your benefit — not for ad tech. Think of it as your own private ChatGPT trained only on your web interactions — always helpful, always private, and always in your control.
