Sankofa Extension
To use Sankofa you need to sign-up for your free Vectara account, and create a corpus. This corpus is where Sankofa will store all the text of pages you want it to index for you.
Once you configure Sankofa with your Vectara account, you can index pages you visit, or just text from those pages. You can also instruct Sankofa to automatically index every page you visit after a certain delay. And when you search, Sankofa uses Vectara's Generative AI capabilities to generate a response based on the content of pages you visited and indexed in Vectara.
