β€œI've been using mem.ai since Nov 2022. I needed something to replace Evernote which had constant duplicate note issues, and bad search and organisation capabilities. Search was absolutely critical to me, and Evernote fell way short. So after seeing it reviewed on the YouTube channel Keep productive, I decided to sign up and try mem.ai. Search was amazing, and the MemX capabilities were extremely impressive. MemX suggest notes in the sidebar which are similar, or relevant to the note that you're”

β€œI was hoping this would be good but it lacks basic necessities and has bugs everywhere. It definitely isn't finished and ready to use. You can't even color or highlight the text for example. The collaboration doesn't seem to work either - and even if it did, from what I can gather, you can only collaborate on a note by note basis - and you have to share every single note you want to share one at a time. Kind of pointless, it would be much better if you could share a whole workspace or tag or s”

β€œIn this app, simplicity is the ability to capture notes that become quite findable without wasting time trying to build or work within structures. The AI chat also excels at comparing and synthesizing notes. The learning curve is a short runway and importing from other platforms works well. With a customizable sidebar and tabs, everything is within reach. As a writer working on book 39, it is by far the easiest platform for composition, research aggregation, and organization.

β€œHey guys, I've been using Mem.ai for a couple of weeks now and wanted to share some thoughts. Generally I'm very impressed and quite excited about the benefits the app will bring to my work life. The app is slick, very fast and the search is just incredible. Have tested quite a few apps over the past year or so, and nothing gets even close. It truly does hold its promise in terms of working like a second brain. Having said this, there are a few areas that could be improved, but maybe that's just”

β€œI've been using mem.ai v1.0 for 2 years now, and the new version is going to be paid only after the current testing with users. Also their roadmap is always very vague, they took out a lot of core functionalities that really made it a true productivity tool, and focussing almost exclusively on the chat (AI) functionality (which was the base of their offering from the get go). My current workflow is as below: CAPTURE Raindrop Superlist Telegram Signal Amazing Screenshot extension Email (occasiona”

β€œThis launched today (or very recently) and I am truly impressed. I've been playing with fabric.so, but found it really slow and not very intuitive on things like the web clipper. It also is quite lacking on the actual note taking aspect. I tried mem.ai a little while ago and it seemed very rough and sparse when it came to desired features. I pretty much wrote it off. I tried it today and it is like night and day to me. Has anyone else tried it before and now tried 2.0? Curious if people think th”
