perfect-memory-ai
Perfect Memory captures screen text and meeting transcripts on Mac and PC, then makes them searchable and available to an AI Assistant. Knowledge workers can use it to recover information they saw or heard and prepare summaries and work updates.
Who it's for
- People who regularly switch between desktop applications and need to find text or pages they previously viewed.
- Meeting-heavy teams that want searchable transcripts and summaries of conversations.
- Claude, ChatGPT, or other MCP client users who want those clients to search their screen and meeting history.
How it fits your workflow
Install the app on a Mac or PC and let it run in the background. It uses OCR to capture screen text and automatically detects and transcribes meetings.
Search screen text, names, or meeting transcripts to return to relevant content. The AI Assistant can use those records to answer questions, summarize activity, and draft material.
For connected assistant workflows, connect Claude, ChatGPT, or another MCP client. The page says MCP searches run locally and the cloud only relays.
