Overview
Pinbot is a browser extension for Chrome that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help users privately search their browser history. It is designed to find matches even when users do not use the exact words, making it an accurate search tool.
The extension allows users to filter their results by specifying a date range, a URL, or both. To protect user privacy, Pinbot works offline with everything running on the user's device.
Additionally, Pinbot provides a user-first experience with dark mode and plans to introduce more features in the future. The creator of Pinbot, Kamil, aims to make AI developments available to everyone without compromising privacy.
This extension is just the beginning of his plan, and he hopes to make Pinbot's development self-sustainable while remaining faithful to user interests.
Users can share their feedback with Kamil, and he is open to discussing Pinbot's development with users on the Pinbot Discord server. Overall, Pinbot aims to give users control over their browser history search while leveraging AI for accuracy and privacy.
With Pinbot, users can easily locate relevant information in their browsing history and have a user-friendly, private experience.
