3.9 out of 5
Scored by a Toolio reviewer after real useOur verdict
Sankofa indexes the content of sites you visit into your own Vectara corpus, then lets you ask questions, search by topic, or find similar pages, ChatGPT-style, based on your own browsing. Getting started requires signing up for a free Vectara account and setting up a corpus before anything gets indexed. It's a small, early extension with just two ratings, so expect some setup friction rather than a polished, plug-and-play tool.
