How does Marqly's AI auto-tagging work?

Every time you save something to Marqly, AI tags it automatically — you never file anything by hand. Save an article, a video, or a link, and relevant tags are applied at save time with zero input from you. Those tags are searchable in your library, so the organizing work that folder-based bookmark systems demand (and that everyone eventually abandons) simply doesn’t exist in Marqly.

No manual filing, by design

Traditional bookmark managers make organization your job: create folders, name them, decide where each save goes, and keep the system tidy forever. The system works exactly as long as your discipline does. Marqly inverts that — tagging happens automatically on every save, whether it’s a single one-click save from the toolbar or a whole batch from the tab saver. The cost of saving something drops to one click, which means you actually save things.

Tags are for finding, not just filing

Auto-applied tags are searchable across your library, so they act as ready-made entry points: pull up everything tagged around a topic without ever having curated that topic yourself. And tags are only one layer of retrieval. Marqly’s semantic search matches meaning across titles, content, highlights, and transcripts — so even a save whose tags you’d never guess is still findable by describing it. How the two layers fit together is covered in what is semantic search and in how to search your bookmarks with AI.

It works on your backlog too

Auto-tagging isn’t just for new saves. When you import existing collections — Chrome/Firefox/Edge/Safari bookmark HTML exports, Pocket export files, or Raindrop.io collections — AI tags the entire import automatically. A decade of unfiled browser bookmarks comes out the other side organized, with no sorting session required. See how do I import Chrome bookmarks for that flow.

Try it on your own saves

The fastest way to evaluate auto-tagging is with your own messy bookmarks rather than a demo. Try Marqly free — no credit card required — import what you have, and see what the tags look like on your real library.
