Mem files your notes. Fasrad does the thing the note was reminding you to do.

Mem files the note; Fasrad does the thing the note was reminding you about — turns a thread into a summary, logs it, and follows up.

Same rich notes, @-mentions, and backlinks — plus an agent that turns a thread into a written summary, logs it, and follows up.

Where a smart notebook stops and an agent starts

Mem is an AI note-taking app. You write, it auto-tags, and it surfaces related notes when you open a new one — the organizing happens in the background so you never file anything by hand. For people drowning in a messy notebook, that capture-and-retrieve loop is the whole point.

The gap shows up the moment a note implies work. A note that says "follow up with the Henning account" is still a note. You read it, you go dig up the last email thread, you draft the reply, you book the call, you log what happened. Fasrad starts from the same rich-text notes — with @-mentions, backlinks, and notebooks — but it has an email inbox, a calendar, and a CRM attached to the same agent. So it can read the actual thread, write the summary note from it, and act on what the note says.

Where the line falls:

Pick Fasrad when your notes are really to-dos in disguise — summaries to write, threads to answer, people to follow up with — and you'd rather an agent do that part.

Frequently asked questions

Isn't Fasrad just a notebook with extra steps?

No. The notes are real — rich text, @-mentions, backlinks, notebooks — but they sit next to an email inbox, calendar, and CRM run by the same agent. The difference is that the agent reads your actual threads and writes the note from them, then can act on it.

Does Fasrad auto-organize and surface related notes like Mem?

Mem's product centers on self-organizing capture and related-note suggestions. Fasrad has notebooks, @-mentions, and backlinks, and the agent files and links each note as it writes it from your real sources — then earns its place by turning that note into an action: drafting the reply, booking the call, logging the interaction.

Can it write a summary from an email thread automatically?

Yes. Ask it to summarize a thread or a contact and it reads the real messages, drafts a structured note, and logs the interaction in the CRM. You can also set a trigger so a new email produces a summary note without you asking.

Where does it run?

Web at fasrad.com/chat, as a private Telegram bot, over email, and as a public embed chatbot on your site. Mem is its own app you open; Fasrad reaches you where the work already is.

Can I move my notes over from Mem?

Yes — export your notes from Mem and the Fasrad agent ingests them into notebooks, or point it at the underlying sources (email, docs) and let it rebuild the notes that actually matter, often better-structured than the originals. It's an agent-driven import rather than a single button, so give it a pass to land everything.

How much does it cost?

$49/month or $490/year — cancel anytime. It's in public beta, setup runs about four minutes, and you connect Gmail, Calendar, and Sheets without installing or hosting anything.
