Magpie is an innovative AI-powered tool designed to solve a universal modern frustration: losing track of valuable Instagram Reels you save and never find again. Built by founder Parth vanarase at Branch42 Labs, Magpie acts as an intelligent memory layer right inside your Instagram Direct Messages.

The workflow is seamless and intuitive. Instead of endlessly scrolling through unorganized saved posts on Instagram, you simply send a Reel to Magpie. The system instantly saves, understands, and indexes the content. Later on, you can search through your saved media using natural language queries—such as asking for “that pasta recipe from last week” or “the cafe in Tokyo”—and Magpie will instantly fetch the correct Reel directly in your DMs.
