Sankofa – Your Memory Online
Blog post from Vectara
Sankofa is a browser extension designed to enhance web navigation by allowing users to search and retrieve information from previously visited webpages using Vectara's hybrid search technology. To begin using Sankofa, users must create a Vectara account, set up a corpus to store indexed text, and generate an API key with specific permissions. Available for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, Sankofa can be configured to manually or automatically index web pages, with options to exclude certain domains. The extension also allows users to index selected text and offers features such as finding similar pages. Sankofa leverages Vectara's RAG pipeline to provide answers and citations for user queries, thereby enabling users to recall forgotten information efficiently. The developers plan to enhance Sankofa with additional features and encourage user feedback through various platforms.
