AI Second Brain Agent built around a browser extension

Your AI second brain — capture the web, reason across everything

Most notes apps expect you to organize as you save. That’s why nobody does. Fasrad’s second brain flips it: the browser extension captures passively, your agent tags and links in the background, and when you need something later you just ask.

Install the Fasrad Scanner extension (Chrome, Firefox, Edge). Any article you read for more than 20 seconds gets saved to Notes with tags. Any LinkedIn or profile page you open gets parsed into a contact you can log to your CRM with one click. Any Google search you run gets archived so you can retrace research paths weeks later.

Strongest benefits:

• Passive webpage clipping — dwell-time threshold (>20s) captures articles you actually read, not every tab you open.
• Contact extraction — LinkedIn, Xing, and Twitter profiles parsed into structured CRM entries.
• SERP capture — Google searches archived with deduplication so you can retrace research paths.
• Cross-linked notes — polymorphic @ mentions link notes to contacts to other notes, all searchable.
• Scheduled deeper digs — ask your agent to re-check a topic weekly; it queues a real autonomous Task on your cadence.
• Long-term memory — reason across years of captures, not one session at a time.

The difference from ChatGPT is persistence, linking, and scheduling. ChatGPT forgets every chat. Your second brain keeps every article you’ve read, every contact you’ve met, every search you’ve run — and your agent reasons across them when you ask. Ask *“what was that piece I read about observability last month?”* and get the specific article, your notes on it, and the follow-up questions you had.

When something warrants ongoing attention, your agent can also schedule itself. Tell it *“re-check this topic weekly and email me anything new”* and it creates a recurring Task — a real autonomous agent turn, not a reminder — that runs on the cadence you set and writes findings back into your notes.

The extension works on any site, in any language, without re-authentication per page. Your captures live in your Fasrad Notes and CRM — your data, your agent, your knowledge base.

Frequently asked questions

Which browsers does the extension support?

Chrome, Edge, and Firefox (109+). The Firefox version is available on Mozilla Add-ons and via self-hosted signed XPI; Chrome through the Chrome Web Store.

Does it capture everything I browse?

No — only pages you dwell on (>20s by default, tunable). Quick tabs and accidental opens don’t clutter your notes. Private/incognito tabs are excluded.

How does contact extraction work?

On LinkedIn, Xing, and other profile pages, the extension detects fields (name, title, company, email) and offers to save them to your CRM. You approve before saving; nothing goes through automatically.

Can I search everything I’ve clipped?

Yes. Semantic + full-text search across every note, captured article, and saved SERP. Your agent references them when answering any question in chat.

Is my browsing data private?

Yes. Data flows directly from the extension to your Fasrad account, encrypted in transit. Never shared, never used for training. EU-region storage configurable.

How is this different from Obsidian / Notion?

Obsidian and Notion are note apps — you organize, they store. Fasrad’s second brain captures passively and your agent reasons across everything. Zero manual organization required.

Can I export my data?

Yes — every note exports to Markdown; contacts to CSV; captures to JSON. Your knowledge base travels with you.
