Overview
AI Knowledge Search by Amurex is an open-source, unified search layer that lets users query dispersed personal and workplace information from a single interface. It surfaces results from connected sources (emails, meeting transcripts/hubs, Google Docs/Drive, Notion, Obsidian, and other integrations) using embedding-based retrieval and a web frontend. The project also includes an AI Meeting Copilot (Chrome extension) that captures transcripts, generates summaries, highlights, and automates follow-ups. Amurex emphasizes transparency and privacy by being open-source and self-hostable; developers can run the stack (web frontend, backend, embeddings) or use hosted endpoints. It aims to be an invisible assistant that improves discovery and reduces context switching without introducing heavyweight new apps.
Key Features
Universal Cross-App Search
Search across emails, documents, notes, and meetings with one query, returning context-organized results.
AI Meeting Copilot
Chrome extension captures meeting transcripts, provides live suggestions, auto-summaries, late-join recaps, and single-click follow-up emails.
Embedding-Based Semantic Retrieval
Uses embeddings (noted use of Mistral/embedding pipeline) and a retrieval algorithm to surface semantically relevant results.
Integrations & Connectors
Native/connectors for Notion, Google Drive/Docs, Obsidian, and likely email/calendar/meetings; integrates into existing workflows.
Open-Source & Self-Hosting
Repos and setup instructions for frontend, backend, and extension; AGPL-3.0 and community contributions encouraged.
Privacy and Transparency
Public codebase and privacy/contact pages; explicit contact email for data requests and deletion.
