Sankofa is a cross-browser extension that enhances web browsing by remembering the actual content of pages visited and utilizing generative AI to facilitate ChatGPT-style interactions based on that information. Built using Vectara's RAG-as-a-service platform, Sankofa allows users to index web content for easy retrieval and question-answering, search indexed content, and find similar web pages to the ones they are currently viewing. It employs Plasmo for cross-browser compatibility and leverages Vectara's indexing and query APIs to streamline the integration of retrieval augmented generation functionality. Available on Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, Sankofa aims to simplify the process of accessing previously viewed web content while offering insights and relevant responses through advanced AI capabilities.
