Every quote, every source, one ask away.
Reporters and writers run on interview audio, document dumps, source contacts, and hard deadlines. MemX captures all of it, transcribes it, and gives it back as searchable answers with citations to the original.
Try MemX FreeThe reporting workflow leaks information. Interview audio sits untranscribed for days, the killer quote is buried somewhere in a three-hour recording, the leaked PDF is 200 pages, and the source you met at a conference is a business card you can no longer find. About seven-in-ten U.S. journalists (71%) say made-up news and information is a very big problem for the country, higher than the 50% of U.S. adults who say the same (Pew Research Center survey of 11,889 U.S. journalists, 2022). Getting it right starts with being able to find what a source actually said, and that comes down to capture and retrieval.
MemX captures the moment as it happens — record the interview, scan the document, photograph the whiteboard, snap the source's card — and indexes everything so you can ask "what exactly did the mayor say about the budget?" or "which document mentions the August invoice?" and get a synthesized answer with a citation back to the source recording or page. Capture works offline in the field; search and AI answers need a network connection.
How Journalists Use MemX
Interview capture and transcription
Voice to Memory records up to 60 seconds at a tap, transcribed via OpenAI Whisper with multi-language support and on-device Silero VAD auto-stop. Every interview becomes a searchable, indexed memory instead of an untranscribed audio file.
Document and leak PDF Q&A
Add a 200-page leaked PDF and ask MemX in plain English. RAG searches across the document and answers "which page mentions the offshore account?" with a citation to the exact source, so you verify before you quote.
Source contact capture
Photo Memory flags business cards on-device as you photograph them and indexes them so they are searchable; run one through Document Scanner to pull out the name, title, outlet, phone, and email. The source you met once is findable months later when the story breaks.
Notes and whiteboard capture
Photograph a handwritten notebook page, a press-conference slide, or a whiteboard. Document Scanner runs on-device OCR to pull out names, dates, and figures so the detail is searchable later, not lost in your camera roll.
Recurring deadline and source follow-up reminders
Type "embargo lifts Thursday 6am" or "chase the FOIA contact every Monday until they reply" and MemX turns your words into a recurring schedule — it suggests the timed reminders, you confirm them, then each fires as a push notification. Captured dates and reminders land on the in-app Calendar view alongside Chat and Memories, so the whole story timeline is in one place.
WhatsApp source-chat import
Export a source thread and import the archive. The backend processes the chat history asynchronously, extracting decisions, dates, and deliverables so a months-long conversation becomes searchable evidence.
Features That Matter to Journalists
Voice to Memory with Whisper
Tap Voice, talk up to 60 seconds, and get a transcript indexed as a memory. Transcription runs via OpenAI Whisper with multi-language support; on-device Silero VAD auto-stops when you finish speaking.
Ask MemX — RAG with citations
Vector search across every interview, document, photo, and chat you have captured. Answers come back synthesized and cited to the source, so you can trace any claim back to the recording or page it came from.
Document Scanner with on-device OCR
Scan PDFs, IDs, prescriptions, receipts, or printed pages. On-device OCR extracts names, dates, amounts, and IDs, turning paper and PDFs into searchable, structured text. Smart-tag auto-extraction even recognizes Aadhaar, PAN, and driving-licence numbers — plus locker numbers and Wi-Fi passwords — from screenshots that would otherwise sit unindexed in your camera roll.
Encrypted, audit-logged, no AI training
AES-256 encryption at rest with the master key in Google Cloud KMS hardware security vaults, per-document encryption, decrypt-on-demand, and a tamper-proof audit log on every access. Your content never trains any AI model.
Natural-language reminders and Calendar view
MemX parses free-form language into a recurring schedule — say "antibiotics twice daily for five days" or "file by Friday, nudge me Wednesday" and it proposes a full set of precisely-timed reminders. You confirm the schedule, then each one fires as a timed push notification. The app's Calendar, Chat, and Memories tri-screen layout puts every captured date and reminder on a calendar you can scan at a glance.
Photo Memory, selective by design
Background on-device ML flags receipts, business cards, IDs, and documents while vacation photos and selfies stay out. Private photos never leave your device.
