Auto-Highlights: When Your Browser Starts Connecting the Dots
June 2025
You know that feeling when you're reading something and it reminds you of another piece you saw weeks ago—something relevant, maybe even crucial—but you can't quite place where? Your brain recognizes the pattern, but your digital tools don't.
Most AI requires you to ask the right question. Auto-Highlights inverts this completely: it asks the questions for you.
Beyond Prompting
While everyone focuses on getting better at prompting AI, we built something that works without prompts entirely. As you browse, Forethink automatically underlines relevant keywords on every page, each one a potential bridge to forgotten connections in your digital world.
Hover over a highlighted term. Instantly see related browser history, emails, documents, and research—not just from today, but from months of accumulated context. Click to preview or open directly. No searching. No typing. Just ambient intelligence that thinks ahead.
Compounding Knowledge
Traditional tools force a choice: either remember everything yourself or interrupt your flow to search. Auto-Highlights creates a third path. It operates like peripheral vision for your digital knowledge—quietly scanning what you're reading against the patterns in your work life.
The cognitive shift can be felt. Instead of your brain working to recall where you saw something relevant, that information surfaces itself. Instead of breaking focus to search, the search happens automatically. Instead of losing the thread, the thread strengthens.
Intelligence at the Edge of Attention
Auto-Highlights represents a new category of ambient AI. Rather than sitting in a separate chat interface waiting for commands, it integrates directly into your browsing experience. Every webpage becomes a contextual gateway to your accumulated knowledge.
The technology works by:
Analyzing content as you read
Cross-referencing against your authenticated data sources
Surfacing connections through subtle, non-intrusive highlighting
Providing instant access to full context on demand
All processing happens locally in your browser, preserving complete privacy while delivering real-time intelligence.
Accelerating Navigation, Supplementing Memory
Early users describe the experience as "digital déjà vu" — recognizing patterns they forgot they knew. A researcher spots connections between market analyses separated by months. An analyst realizes they're reading about a company they investigated last quarter. A strategist discovers their current reading intersects with conversations from different contexts entirely.
The tool doesn't just save time. It supplements human memory in ways that feel natural, resurfacing connections you may have dimly recalled but wouldn't have bothered to track down manually.
Thoughtful Control
Auto-Highlights can be toggled on or off under Settings > Features, respecting your workflow preferences while maintaining your existing permissions and data boundaries. The best technology disappears into workflow, becoming an extension of thought rather than an interruption to it.

You don’t need to trust us. That’s the point
Most AI tools ask for your data before they can help you. That usually means uploading emails, documents, calendars, and browsing history to remote servers — often permanently, and often without clarity on where it goes next. It’s baked into their architecture. This model might work fine for personal productivity hacks. But for anyone handling sensitive information — from investment strategies to internal memos — the idea of handing over your entire digital trail is a deal-breaker. The tradeoff isn’t worth it. And with Forethink, it’s not required.
