so mx you're probably wondering what is it now we're going to dive into this brand
new technology inside of mem which is a new and popular note-taking application that's rising in
the market we're going to give you an overview of what they're doing in terms of their pricing
and now they come out of beta what their plans are for the future if you're new here please
do hit subscribe it'd be great to have you we chat all things productivity software
uh my name is francesco and let's dive into today's video so as i was saying memex is this
brand new technology that's inside of this notetaker application called
mem now mem launched about sort of a year and a half ago in beta and essentially what they've
done recently if they come out of their beta and they're offering mem to the world and as you can
imagine they've removed that beta free pricing and of course with every beta exit there's that
nervous nature of like how much is it going to be now i'm out of beta and it's particularly
stressful because you've got a note-taking application then you may have already poured
a lot of time and effort into building your notes up but the good news is they've got three pricing
plans and one of them is free that's a good news the good thing about the free pricing plan
is it doesn't really change anything you've been doing inside the beta but it actually enhances it
a little step further so you can take unlimited notes unlimited templates unlimited devices etc
all the stuff you'd expect inside of a paid account but you get it for free which is good
but they're actually upgrading your eight megabyte upload limits of files to 25 meg which isn't bad
and now capping your total account storage to five gigabytes overall so obviously you know
i guess for the sort of basic note taker there's not really much need to upgrade
unless you say went over that file storage limit but there is now two more pricing plans mem x
and memx for teams now memex is designed to basically upgrade that sort of storage limit to
100 gigabytes however it's introducing something called mx technology i'll come to it in a moment
it's priced at 10 per month which i think is not too bad like it's it's at the sort of reasonably
end of the premium pricing but not fully premium especially because you're getting an app
that has the some capabilities of roman obsidian but also then the relaxing and easy nature of
apps like evernote and notion um and they also have mmx for teams which is priced at 15
per user per month now you're probably wondering what is this memex thing you're talking about
francesco and it's basically an artificial intelligence technology which augments your notes
and knowledge and it's quite a cool experience um i have used it in one element there's two elements
elements of it at the moment but i do what i think i've talked about this a little bit i do have
faith in this application actually being quite a popular one in the market just for it's it's
different in the way that they're approaching things so the two ways that you can use memex in
this artificial intelligence attack is similar mems at the moment it's something i've used
and basically what it does is it scans through all of your notes using the artificial intelligence
and it picks notes that are similar to the notes that you're writing right now which gives you
a bit of like organization around what could be helpful and to put side by side with the existing
note you're using and also it gives you an idea of um the context around each of the notes that
you create so for example i think i was writing a sort of meeting to myself and i noticed it
started referencing like a meeting that i had two weeks ago that also mentioned something that i was
typing about so it actually was able to sort of contextualize that but also provide me potentially
useful references and they're going that sort of step further and building that out making it
better which is pretty cool the other part of the experience i haven't tried yet is a smart search
in a recent update they actually introduced where mem was going to um basically ref out
basically reference um facts inside of your memo account understanding what are facts and
what aren't and basically what they've done with that technology has now produced that inside of
a search engine now to be honest if i if you want my opinion i don't think the search is
going to be that valuable to people i don't know whether people unless you're using like voice
where they're searching things inside of your account like in a more of a natural
like a natural language way like for example where have i stored this or where what day of the week
did i have this meeting i'm not sure people type like that notetakers applications so i don't know
whether it's becoming that useful but at the same time it's a really cool feature and a good example
of how the artificial intelligence has been built inside of the application so i'm really excited to
see whether that sort of spans out into something else but they're my early thoughts on memx it's
technology's really a fairly early days but i think that this application has more legs than a
lot of the other note takers in the market purely because it's thinking of that more artificial
intelligence inside the market whereas i think a lot of the other applications are really focusing
on the manual aspects of obsidian rome you know evernote are looking at it but as you can imagine
very static same with notion they're not really looking at that sort of ways that relationships
are built ways that notes are connecting together and a greater scheme of things now obviously it's
well worth looking at the security elements and whether you're happy with something like
this i always recommend that with note-taking applications but for me i think this looks like
a really interesting approach to note-taking at least in the next five years so that was memex
hopefully you learned a little bit more about it and hopefully gave you a bit more context to
what mem are working on at the moment and some of their pricing additions i think the great
improvement of the free plan is is is super news someone that has used the member for quite a while
i think this application's going from leap to leap legally strength to strength and i think it's it's
going to be an exciting year for them for sure anyway folks i hope you enjoyed today's video
