    Hi HN, I'm Kevin. I built ContextVault because I kept running into the same problem with AI tools. Every project accumulated prompts, coding conventions, architectural decisions, examples, and other pieces of context that made the models significantly more useful. The problem was that this information quickly became fragmented. Some lived in ChatGPT Projects, some in Claude, some in Markdown files, some in internal documentation, and some only existed in previous conversations. Late last year, I realized several people on our team were solving the same problems independently because previous…

    I released ContextChat, an AI chat designed to be context-centric, helping you stay focused and productive by giving you control over the information your AI sees. You can import websites, files, and public/private GitHub repos to give the AI full knowledge of your projects. Unlike other chatbots, ContextChat lets you easily switch between project contexts, so you get relevant answers and avoid the noise. It's pay-per-use, giving you flexibility and control over costs and free models are available so you can try it for free with no monthly subscriptions. Let me know your feedback!

    I keep running in the same problem of each AI app “remembers” me in its own silo. ChatGPT knows my project details, Cursor forgets them, Claude starts from zero… so I end up re-explaining myself dozens of times a day across these apps. The deeper problem 1. Not portable – context is vendor-locked; nothing travels across tools. 2. Not relational – most memory systems store only the latest fact (“sticky notes”) with no history or provenance. 3. Not yours – your AI memory is sensitive first-party data, yet you have no control over where it lives or how it’s queried. Demo video:…

    Hi HN, I’m a product designer by background, not a traditional software engineer. Over the last year, tools like Claude and ChatGPT completely changed how I work. I started with small internal tools, and now I’m “vibe coding” multiple highly personalized apps. As I iterated between Claude Code (implementation) and ChatGPT (ideation / thinking), I kept running into the same problem. To think clearly, I had to repeatedly re-explain: - what the code currently does, - what changed recently, - and why certain decisions were made. That re-summarization step became a real bottleneck. So I…

    Hey HN! We're Deshraj and Taranjeet. We've been building working on a startup called Mem0, building an open-source memory layer for AI apps and agents (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41447317). We also kept running into our own daily frustrations with AI assistants forgetting everything between conversations. Over a weekend, we decided to hack together a Chrome extension to solve this for ourselves. The problem was simple: we were constantly re-explaining our context across platforms when switching between ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. Start a coding discussion in…
