An AI memory assistant that started in a classroom

The teacher explains the task, then talks about something different. Students turn to each other and ask: "So, what are we doing?"

Damirbek Xolnazatov, a student at Tashkent International School, describes that scene from school, and then a first-hand one. "As a student, I noticed that whenever our teacher says to take notes along the way, I feel like I lose my understanding and my concentration," he says.

“I want technology to help people spend less time managing information and more time understanding it.”

So came a question. Would it not be better to have a tool that can record conversations, take notes while you are actively listening, and answer anything you ask about the conversation? The idea was simple: students could stay focused on understanding the lesson instead of constantly switching between listening and taking notes.

The tool is called Memo, for memory.

Memo is a software platform that records lectures, meetings, and conversations, and uses AI to turn that information into transcripts, summaries, flashcards, action items, deadlines, and searchable knowledge. Instead of searching through notebooks or recordings, users can ask questions like "What did my teacher say about metabolism?" or "When is my economics assignment due?" The plan is to connect it to Google Tasks and Calendar as well.

The reasoning is stated plainly: "We built this because we believe memory should not depend on effort, stress, or constant note-taking."

Memo is at an early stage. "Currently, I am refining the working prototype and validating the idea with students," he says. In the long term, the aim is to expand Memo into MemoPen, a dedicated AI device designed to capture spoken information and make it instantly retrievable.

"My goal is to help people never lose what matters."
