Six assistants describe remembering things, to-dos or lists: Del, Familiar, Hark, Luke, Nessi and Vellum. Four took both tests that apply to notes (Memory and Connected apps) and are ranked; Luke and Vellum took only one. We do not test note formats, search or transcription.

How this report works
Included are assistants whose catalog description (checked 2026-10-26) mentions remembering you or things, to-dos or lists. They are ranked by the average of Memory and Connected apps, with both taken. Scores come from the published score sheet and are dated 2026-10-27. 2 of the 4 ranked assistants (Familiar and Nessi) carry pre-filled scores, which are placeholder estimates the site has not yet replaced with its own test runs, so treat their places as provisional.
How to choose
- Check that you can see and delete what it stored: that is part of our Memory test, and it matters more for notes than for chat.
- Check where a note ends up. Connected apps tests that one request reaches three tools and each item lands in the right place.
- Keep a copy. Our tests do not cover exporting notes, so check the product's own export option.
Can an AI assistant take notes for me?
Catalog entries for six assistants describe remembering things, to-dos or lists. We test that an assistant keeps what you tell it and files it in the right connected app; we do not test note formats, search or transcription.
Which AI assistants have the best memory and app scores together?
Hark averages 7.5 over the two tests, Del 5.5, Familiar 5.0 and Nessi 4.5. Hark and Del are not pre-filled; Familiar and Nessi are, so their places are provisional.
Why are Luke and Vellum not ranked?
Each took only one of the two tests, and a report averages two. They are in the catalog and have a score on the Memory test, so see their pages for the detail.
