What is remio?
remio is a personal AI assistant that captures web pages, meetings, emails and files and turns them into a searchable knowledge base. It is a desktop app with companion mobile apps, built for individual knowledge workers.
It works by collecting your material in the background. remio saves pages you read, syncs local files, connects to tools such as Gmail and Slack, and records meetings. You then ask questions in plain language and receive answers that point back to the original source.
Key Features
remio’s key features are automatic capture of web pages, files, emails and meetings, sourced answers through Ask remio, bot-free meeting recording, AI-built decks and spreadsheets and a choice of more than 30 AI models.
- Info capture: Collects the web pages you read, syncs local files and pulls in emails and meetings automatically. It supports more than 30 file formats, including PDFs, spreadsheets, images, audio and video.
- Ask remio: Answers questions in plain language across your own knowledge base and cites the source, so you can open the original page, file or meeting.
- Recording and transcription: Records online meetings without inviting a bot to the call and transcribes them on your device. You can then ask questions across several meetings.
- AI Presentation and AI Excel: Creates native PowerPoint decks with editable charts and animations, and generates or edits spreadsheets, so the results can be changed by hand afterwards.
- Deep Research: Runs a research agent on longer questions. The site also lists a YouTube summariser and podcast transcription for video and audio sources.
- Model choice: Offers more than 30 AI models, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek and Kimi. remio says Free and Pro plans share the same model options.
- Bring your own key: The BYOK plan links your own API key from OpenAI, Google Gemini, xAI, Anthropic or OpenRouter, so AI requests run through your own account.
- Connectors: Links to more than 40 services, including Google Drive, Gmail, Microsoft 365, Slack and GitHub. The Free plan covers Slack, Gmail and Outlook.
Pros
remio’s main advantages are background capture that removes manual filing, a local-first design, answers that cite their sources, a usable Free plan and a stated policy of not training models on personal data.
- Little manual filing: Capture runs in the background while you browse and work, so the knowledge base grows without you saving, tagging or sorting each item.
- Local-first: remio says core data, search, indexing, recording and transcription stay on your device, which reduces how much of your material sits on a remote server.
- Traceable answers: Responses link back to the page, file or meeting they came from, which makes it quicker to check an answer before relying on it.
- Usable Free plan: The Free plan includes 500 AI credits a month, unlimited webpage capture and local file parsing, Slack, Gmail and Outlook connections and basic search.
- No training on personal data: The privacy policy states that no personal data is used to train models and that usage logs are deleted after a maximum of 30 days.
- Refund window: Pro, Plus and Max carry a 72-hour refund guarantee, and one account can be used across multiple devices.
Cons
remio’s main drawbacks are AI credits that meter every plan, desktop support limited to Windows x64 and Apple silicon Macs, AI requests that leave your device and costly Plus and Max tiers.
- Credit limits: AI use is metered on every plan, from 500 credits a month on Free to 150,000 on Max. When credits run out you buy a credit pack or add your own API key.
- Limited desktop support: The desktop app needs Windows 10 or later on x64, or a Mac with Apple silicon. No Intel Mac or Linux version is listed.
- AI requests leave the device: Despite the local-first design, the privacy policy says AI requests are relayed to third-party model providers, so prompts and the content they include are processed off your machine.
- Built for individuals: Reviewers note there is no shared team workspace, and remio bills per account, so it does not suit a group that needs one common knowledge base.
- Higher tiers are costly: Plus costs $42 and Max $139 a month. The pricing page lists the same features as Pro for both, so the extra money buys only more credits.
- BYOK is not free: The BYOK plan still costs $14.90 a month on top of your own API bills, includes only 500 credits and has no refund guarantee.
