Summary

The guide provides a step-by-step process for setting up a development environment, embedding browser history with ChromaDB, and running advanced searches. To start, users need to export their browser history using the Export Chrome History extension and then set up a Daytona workspace. They can install the necessary dependencies, including the `sentence_transformers` module, and configure environment variables in a local `.env` file. The guide explains how to embed browser history into ChromaDB using a local model or an Azure embedding service, and provides examples of search queries with filters such as domain restriction, recent sorting, and visit count filtering. Users can apply this tool to real-world scenarios like personal productivity tracking, content curation and management, academic research, and personalized content recommendations. The guide also addresses common issues and troubleshooting steps for CSV embedding failure, hosted embeddings not applied, and inaccurate search results. By following this guide, users have created a powerful system to explore their browsing habits and can continue refining their results by experimenting with different embedding models and search parameters.
