Screenpipe records your screen locally to give AI agents searchable memory

Louis launches Screenpipe (YC S26), an app that records screen and audio locally and turns them into searchable memory for AI agents.
- The goal is to give agents context about what you’ve seen, said, and heard so they can automate repetitive work and generate SOPs.
- He argues that past approaches—fine-tuning, tool calling, MCP—still left agents without enough context or were too brittle for non-technical users.
- The post connects Screenpipe to his earlier work on RAG, Obsidian AI plugins, and Embedbase.
- He also points to a newer pattern: agents that incrementally maintain a persistent wiki/Markdown knowledge base that compounds over time.
