In four steps
- Save from anywhere. Use the browser extension on any page, or ask a connected agent to save for you. See Saving from the web.
- Let Memo read it. Each save gets a title, a short summary, tags and its colors. You can edit any of them.
- Group into collections. Put related saves together. A collection gets its own taste profile: a paragraph on what ties it together. See Collections.
- Use it as a reference. Anything you saved can be attached in Studio and in the Image and Video tools.
Your first inspiration
A new workspace is never empty. It starts with our own posts from @memo.solutions on Instagram, each card linking to the post it came from. They are there so the page shows what a saved reference looks like before you have saved one, and so you can follow along. Treat them like anything else you saved: open a card, file it into a collection of your own, or delete it once your own saves are in. They do not count towards the Getting started steps, and they do not come back once removed.A living grid
Cards keep their natural shape — nothing is cropped to a uniform square — and saved video clips play silently in the grid as they scroll into view. Playback is polite by design: clips only play while visible, a handful at a time, and heavier clips wait for a click on their play button instead of autoplaying (they show their length in a small pill). If your system is set to reduce motion, nothing autoplays. Click a video card to open it full-size with sound and controls. YouTube and Vimeo saves play their official player inside the detail view.Views
The library has two views (top-right of the dashboard):- All — images and clips saved from the web or uploaded
- Collections — curated groups of inspirations and filed generations
Search
The search bar searches your entire library — not just the cards visible on screen. It hits the server, so results are accurate across your whole workspace regardless of how far you’ve scrolled. Results update as you type with a brief debounce. Search understands meaning (“stormy coastline” finds a rough sea), and when nothing in your library is close, it says No matching inspirations instead of showing the nearest pictures. The same server-side search works in Studio → Generations — find any generation by its prompt text, even if you haven’t scrolled to it.How search finds things
Every saved picture gets a short AI description, and search compares your words with those descriptions by meaning. It works across languages: a search in French finds pictures described in English. The assistant in Studio and a connected agent use this same search, so what you can find, they can find. Memo is adding a second index that reads the picture itself as well as its description, so searches about look and light (“warm golden light”, “minimal packshot on black”) find the right pictures more often. It is being built in the background for every library and will be switched on once it covers your whole library; nothing changes in how you search.Finding references
Use search and open a collection to narrow the library. The extra media-type, tag and contributor filter menu is currently hidden; it is not a required step for finding or filing a reference.Loading and pagination
The grid loads lazily — first batch appears almost instantly, more loads automatically as you scroll. No “load more” button, no waiting for thousands of cards to download. While loading, skeleton cards (shimmer placeholders matching the card shape) hold the layout so nothing jumps when content arrives. When you’ve reached the end: “You’ve seen all your inspirations.”Empty states
Brand new library? The empty state explains the two ways to start filling Inspirations: save from the browser extension, or ask your connected agent to file references for you. Capture deliberately stays where you browse, so there is no duplicate in-app upload button. An empty Studio → Generations points you to your first project, where your first generated image or video will appear automatically. Each surface uses its own animated line illustration, but the placement, copy, and next action stay consistent across Memo.Context menu
Right-click an inspiration card for its available actions. Editors can use Add to collection to open the full picker, Quick add to collection to choose one existing collection, and Delete. Inside a collection, Remove from collection unlinks the item without deleting it. The menu supports keyboard navigation as well as the pointer. Open the inspiration for its comments, details, Copy link and Send to Studio actions. Available actions depend on your workspace role.Link to one inspiration
Opening an inspiration puts its address in the browser bar, for exampleapp.memo.solutions/?inspiration=…. Copy link at the bottom of the detail panel copies the same address.
- Paste it to Claude, ChatGPT or any connected agent (“use this video as the reference”) and the agent opens exactly that item. Memo’s own Studio assistant understands it too.
- Send it to a teammate: it opens the inspiration for anyone in the same workspace. People outside the workspace can’t see it; use a shared collection link for that.
- A copied link carries its workspace: if you belong to several, Memo switches to the right one when you open it. A plain address-bar link opens in the workspace you are in.
Tags
Tags are workspace-scoped labels on a reference. They describe its content; changing a tag does not move the item between collections. Collection membership changes only when you or your agent explicitly file or remove an item. See Collections.Generations
Studio → Generations shows one card per project (plus Unassigned for anything left behind by a deleted project). Drill in for that project’s grid. Cards show a status badge — color-coded for pending, generating, completed, or failed — and, on hover, three actions:- Add to collection — file the image or video into a collection as a durable reference (see Collections)
- Download — the full-resolution original when there is one
- Delete
