Memochrome (fork of MemoryCache for Firefox) is an experimental development project to turn a local desktop environment into an on-device AI agent

Memory Cache

Memory Cache is a project that allows you to save a webpage while you're browsing in Firefox as a PDF, and save it to a synchronized folder that can be used in conjunction with privateGPT to augment a local language model.

⚠️: This setup uses the primordial version of privateGPT. I'm working from a fork that can be found here.

Prerequisites

1. Set up privateGPT - either using the primordial checkpoint, or from my fork.
2. Create a symlink between a subdirectory in your default Downloads folder called 'MemoryCache' and a 'MemoryCache' directory created inside of /PrivateGPT/source_documents/MemoryCache
3. Apply patch to Firefox to add the printerSettings.silentMode property to the Tabs API. See wiki page for instructions
4. Copy /scripts/run_ingest.sh into your privateGPT directory and run it to start inotifywait watching your downloads directory for new content

Setting up the Extension

1. Clone the Memory-Cache GitHub repository to your local machine
2. In Firefox, navigate to about:debugging and click on 'This Firefox'
3. Click 'Load Temporary Add-on" and open the extension/manifest.json file in the MemoryCacheExt directory

Using the Extension

1. Under the 'Extensions' menu, add the Memory Cache extension to the toolbar
2. When you want to save a page to your Memory Cache, click the icon and select the 'Save' button. This will save the file silently as a PDF if you are using a Firefox build with the printerSettings.silentMode property addition.
