Memo V8 is live. This is our biggest product release so far, with a full redesign across workspace setup, AI generation, source handling, study/review flows, and daily organization.

Memo is now built for broader knowledge work across students, teachers, researchers, and professionals who need one place to collect, understand, and reuse information.

Memo 8.0 is a complete rebuild and rethinking of how Memo works from the ground up. We have been at work over the last 6 months on working towards Memo 8.0. Please let us know of any feedback in this short term to help fine tune some changes as we migrate. Thank you!

Highlights at a Glance

• New notebook-first workspace flow

• Major Studio upgrade (flashcards, notes, mind maps, tracks, practice tests, tutor, infographics, podcasts)

• Major Copilot upgrade (source mentions, context meter, image generation, message editing, model picker)

• Major Learn Mode + flashcard workflow overhaul

• New universal search and improved dashboard navigation

• New energy usage system and clearer limits/reset visibility

What’s New in V8

A clearer Workspace Foundation

Memo now centers around a cleaner “notebook-style” workspace so your content is easier to organize and revisit.

• Faster notebook creation and setup

• Cleaner layout for multi-project workflows

• Better folder and navigation structure

• Improved mobile and desktop consistency

Studio: One Place to Generate Everything

The Studio experience has been heavily upgraded and now acts as your central generation hub. The entire panel has been completely rebuilt from the ground up in both light mode and dark mode.

Generate:

• Flashcards

• Notes

• Mind maps

• Learning tracks

• Practice tests

• Tutor sessions

• Infographics

• Podcasts

Plus:

• Better progress feedback while generating

• Cleaner loading states and status updates

• Rename generated outputs

• Cancel in-progress generations

• “New” indicators for recently created items

For modes with a pencil icon, you can further custom the options within that mode to fine tweak your generation with custom prompts and settings.

Major Source Handling Upgrade

Memo now supports richer knowledge inputs and better source-linked outputs.

You can add sources from:

• PDFs

• YouTube links

• Website links

• Pasted text

Also improved:

• Source panel clarity and controls

• Source sorting and management

• Better source-aware citations

• Stronger support for mixed-source workspaces

Copilot Chat, Rebuilt for Real Workflows

Chat is now more controllable, source-aware, and usable in longer sessions.

• Better model selection experience

• Mention specific sources in chat

• Edit your own messages

• Save useful responses to notes

• Add useful chat responses to sources

• Better handling for long-context conversations

• Clear guidance for older incompatible chat threads

Learn & Review Experience Overhaul

Learn mode is now optimized for multi source learning. Cards from multiple sources will display their relevant snippet (either from PDF or text). The review flow has been redesigned to support different working and learning styles.

• Cleaner full-screen review experience

• Better answer feedback and guidance

• Improved context visibility (pages/sections/timestamps)

• Text size controls for readability

• Better empty/caught-up states

• Per-set due handling improvements

Flashcard & Card Management Upgrades

Managing and editing cards is much more flexible now.

• New card editor flow

• Better filtering, searching, and sorting

• Multiple review/view modes:

  • Column

  • List

  • Toggle

  • Typing

  • Flip

• View preferences are remembered

Better Search Across Your Workspace

Universal search is now faster and more action-oriented.

• Search notebooks, folders, chats, and outputs

• Jump directly into relevant items

• Trigger key actions from search

Usage Visibility Improvements

We have converted from the existing quota approach to a energy approach which will provide more usage for you across the board. Usage tracking is now easier to understand at a glance.

• Clear energy usage breakdown

• Remaining balance and activity history

• Better reset visibility and planning clarity

Others

• We have significantly cleaned up our codebase, refactoring and cleaning more than 100,000 lines of code. This reduces redundancy and eliminates duplicate code and packages, creating a cleaner environment for us to work in. As a result, we have improved navigation speed within the app, enhanced deployment times, and increased overall efficiency.

• Playgrounds are now marked as deprecated in main navigation due to lack of usage and its integration now directly in the mindmap mode. Existing playgrounds remain accessible from settings. Core workflows are now focused in the main workspace.

• We have fully redesigned our onboarding. Onboarding now adapts to different user types, not just one learning path.Onboarding now adapts to different user types, not just one learning path.

• Our landing page has been completely redesigned as well!

• The underlying infrastructure of our database, AI processing as well as web frameworks has all been completely reworked and updated to the latest standards for security and functionality.

Why This Release Matters

V8 moves Memo from a set of separate tools into a more unified AI knowledge workspace: one place to collect information, generate outputs, review intelligently, and keep moving across projects.

Memo is currently still co-founded and managed by two medical students in their clinical years. We acknowledge the recent lack of product updates, but all of them have been leading up to this significant release! We can't wait for you to try it out. Please share your feedback by clicking the profile button and selecting "Submit Feedback." As this is a complete rebuild, we expect some bugs, and we would appreciate your help in identifying them. We will fine-tune everything in the coming weeks!


Happy exploring,
