🧠How to remember EVERYTHING with AI

Welcome back!

If you’re anything like me you see tons of Twitter threads, TikToks or articles that that inspire the f*ck out me.. but within 24 hours it’s out of my mind.

People don’t retain what they read not because the content is too complex — but because they’re too distracted, disorganized, or disembodied from what they consume.

If you could retain all of this information - you can literally improve your life by x1000.

You will have infinitely more information at your disposal.

Well.. AI has a solution to all of this.

You Don’t Have a Knowledge Problem

You Have a Memory Problem

Most people don’t actually know how to read — not in the sense of turning letters into words, but in the sense of turning information into transformation.

They skim, highlight, collect book summaries, and screenshot tweets hoping something will stick. It doesn’t.

Why?

Because they were taught to read the same way they were taught to obey:
Sit still. Pass the test. Forget what you learned. Repeat.

So when someone says “I’ve read 52 books this year…”
That’s often code for:
“I absorbed nothing, but I feel productive.”

Real readers (the kind who use knowledge as leverage) aren’t reading to pass a test.
They’re reading to rewire who they are.

Because reading isn’t about extracting a few answers.

It’s about expanding the space in your brain where new, original thoughts can actually exist.

And you can’t Google thoughts that haven’t occurred to you yet.

You can engineer memory.
You can build retention into your life.

With AI, that’s now easier than ever…. But only if you do it right.

How To Actually Remember Everything You See, Read, or Learn (Using AI)

Most people use AI to summarize what they’re too distracted to focus on.
We’re not going to do that.

We’re going to use AI to amplify your memory, sharpen your awareness, and turn consumption into retention.

Not only that.. we are going to use AI to securely record everything you see, then get it to summarise everything you have seen and might of forgotten at the end of each day.

And no.. this is not sponsored. Feel free to do your own research for other tools that might suit your needs the best.

Here’s how:

How to record everything you see then summarise it

For this.. we’ll use a tool called Rewind AI. It’s like a private, searchable memory for your digital life.

Step-by-Step Setup

1. Install Rewind
→ https://www.rewind.ai
→ Mac-only
→ Configure:

• Recording quality (to manage storage)

• App exclusions (e.g. banking, private docs)

• Mic access (for call transcription)

2. Let It Run in the Background
It’ll quietly:

• Record your screen

• Transcribe audio

• Index everything

3. Recall Anything Instantly
Use Cmd + Shift + Space to open search. Ask things like:

• “What was that YouTube video I watched about agency pricing?”

• “Where was the page with the best cold email structure?”

• “Show me that tweet I saw about AI agents last night.”

4. Use Daily AI Summaries
Rewind will auto-summarize:

• What you read

• What you watched

• What you typed/searched

You’ll start noticing patterns in your curiosity.
You’ll start remembering things you didn’t even think were important.

5. Automate It Further (Optional)

• Use Apple Shortcuts or Zapier to send moments into Notion or Obsidian

• Build your own spaced repetition system

• Tag key moments for review later

Option 2: Using ChatGPT as Your Memory Extension

You don’t need a fancy app to remember everything you read.

Let’s try another option, except with something we all have access to for free… ChatGPT.

Here’s how to turn ChatGPT into a memory vault that grows smarter with you over time.

ChatGPT Memory System

1. Create a Dedicated “Daily Log” Chat
Title it something like:
“My Knowledge Vault” or “Daily Reading & Reflections”

Use this chat every day as your go-to spot to:

• Paste links to articles/tweets

• Summarize books or videos you consume

• Brain-dump thoughts, insights, or quotes

Prompt idea to start:

“You are my knowledge assistant. I’ll drop ideas, summaries, and links here. I want you to help me reflect, organize, and remind me of key insights later.”

2. Summarize & Reflect Daily
At the end of the day, ask:

“Summarize the key ideas I logged today.”
“What themes do you notice?”
“Which insights are worth revisiting next week?”

This builds active recall + pattern recognition.

3. Set Reminders Using a “Memory Thread”
You can start a second chat titled something like: “Remind Me Later”

Every time you want to revisit a concept:

“Remind me about [concept/idea/quote] next Friday.”
(You’ll need to manually revisit this thread, but it’s a powerful habit builder.)

4. Save Your Best Insights as Reusable Knowledge
When ChatGPT gives you a powerful insight, ask:

“Can you save that as a reusable note and remind me next time I talk about [topic]?”

Or manually copy/paste it into Notion, Obsidian, or even a Google Doc titled “Ideas Worth Remembering.”

Bonus: How To Never Forget a Powerful Insight Again

The point of memory is not to hold facts.
It’s to reshape your thinking.

So here’s the new playbook:

• Read wide.

• Reflect often.

• Save what makes your brain light up.

• Ask AI to challenge it, simplify it, connect it.

That’s how you stop hoarding knowledge and start building wisdom.

And when you do that consistently?

You’ll notice something strange…

You start acting differently — even if you can’t remember the exact quote or source.

Because the best books don’t live in your memory.
They live in your decisions.
