Memories.ai and Qualcomm Unveil AI Laptop Assistant to Supercharge your Workday with On-Screen Visual Memory
The new assistant captures, organizes, and retrieves your on-screen activity to answer questions, find past work, and complete computer-based tasks
Memories.ai and Qualcomm today unveiled the first AI laptop assistant that automatically remembers what you do throughout the day, across apps, tabs, files, meetings, and workflows. Powered by Memories.ai’s large visual memory model 2.0 (LVMM), the new assistant allows you to instantly ask questions, pick up where you left off, and get help with computer-based tasks.
The problem: computers don’t remember your day
Modern work happens across dozens of tools: email, docs, browsers, chats, design files, CRMs, and meeting notes. Important details get scattered. People waste time re-finding links, re-opening tabs, retracing steps, and redoing work. Even when content is saved, it’s often hard to search because context lives in transient screens, quick edits, and “where I saw it” moments. The same goes for using AI tools, users often need to copy and paste paragraphs of content and instructions into AI chatbots to get it up to speed with their project.
Memories.ai’s solution: an on-device memory layer for your laptop
Unlike traditional AI chatbots that rely on what information you copy and paste into the app, Memories.ai’s assistant builds a personal, searchable “work memory” for all your day-to-day activity. Users can ask natural-language questions like “what did I decide in that doc yesterday?” “where was that chart I copied?” or “what were the action items from the meeting where we talked about pricing?” and get answers tied to the exact moments those things happened.
The app creates a private index of your on-screen activity so you can retrieve information by meaning, not file name. It continuously captures context (what you saw, where it was, and what you were doing), compresses it into structured memory, and makes it searchable in seconds, without requiring you to manually save, tag, or remember keywords.
Key features include:
- On-device context capture (privacy-first): Grab relevant on-screen context only when needed to understand what the user’s doing, without relying on cloud processing.
- Context Completion (auto prompt drafting): When the user is about to ask something in ChatGPT/other agents, automatically generate a ready-to-use prompt that includes the right background context.
- Automatic background reconstruction: Pull the key “what happened / what I’m looking at / what I was working on” details so the user doesn’t have to re-explain the situation every time.
- Visual-based meeting summaries: Create meeting summaries from what was shown/discussed visually (screens/slides), not just raw transcripts, staying on-device.
- Daily recap with timeline + highlights + to-dos: A private, on-device daily digest that surfaces timeline-based highlights, short summaries, and auto-generated action items.
“Millions of hours of productivity are lost every year from context switching, missing files, and starting projects from scratch,” said Shawn Shen, Co-founder and CEO of Memories.ai. “This product will turn your laptop into your personalized executive assistant.”
“By combining Qualcomm’s expertise in edge computing, connectivity, and on-device AI with Memories.ai’s memory technology, we can enable assistants that are more context-aware and responsive on the PC,” said Vinesh Sukumar, VP, Product Management and Head of Gen AI/ML, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
The new laptop assistant is now available for developer preview at CES, with full availability coming later in Q1 2026. Learn more at https://memories.ai.
