The Remembrance Agent (RA) is a program which augments human memory by displaying a list of documents which might be relevant to the user’s current context.

Remembrance Agent (RA) is broken into two parts. A front end continuously watches what the user types and reads, and sends this information to the back end. The back end finds old email, notes files, and on-line documents which are somehow relevant to the user’s context. This information is then displayed by the front end in a way which doesn’t distract from the user’s primary task
