Our 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.
