Idyll: AI companions that remember, talk, and truly connect

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:…

Hey HN, My team is open-sourcing the inference stack and fined-tuned models we use to create LLM-powered NPCs: https://github.com/GigaxGames/gigax The generative agents paper [1] pioneered the idea of prompting LLMs to create autonomous NPCs. But existing implementations require multiple calls to an LLM to make the agent plan its day, chat with people, and interact with its environment [2]. Our approach allows NPCs to be stepped at runtime with a single pass on consumer-grade hardware, with reasonable latency. To achieve this, we've fine-tuned open-source LLMs [3] to…

Hi HN, I'm Jonathan. My co-founder, Thomas, and I started building Mistle in Feb. We saw larger tech companies like Ramp (Inspect) and Stripe (Minions) build this internally and thought an open source version should exist. We made a few very intentional decisions when working on this: 1. Credentials are kept out of the sandbox. Authorized access goes through a proxy, so agents do not directly receive credentials. 2. The harness is not our problem. We're not going to tackle things like memory, self-learning. 3. No magic. Configurations are explicit. You can bring your own keys for models,…

I built Syne because I was tired of AI assistants that forget everything after each conversation. Syne is a self-hosted AI agent framework where memory is a first-class citizen — stored as semantic vectors in PostgreSQL, searchable across millions of entries, and persistent forever. Key features: - Unlimited persistent memory with semantic search (pgvector) - Anti-hallucination: only stores user-confirmed facts, auto-deduplicates - Self-evolving: creates new abilities at runtime without restart - Multi-model: switch between Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude mid-conversation - True $0/month setup:…

Tired of AI coding tools that forget everything between sessions? Every time I open a new chat with Claude or fire up Copilot, I'm back to square one explaining my codebase structure. So I built something to fix this. It's called In Memoria. Its an MCP server that gives AI tools persistent memory. Instead of starting fresh every conversation, the AI remembers your coding patterns, architectural decisions, and all the context you've built up. The setup is dead simple: `npx in-memoria server` then connect your AI tool. No accounts, no data leaves your machine. Under the hood it's TypeScript +…

Hey HN, It’s Vineeth from Plastic Labs. We've been building Honcho, an open-source memory library for stateful AI agents. Most memory systems are just vector search—store facts, retrieve facts, stuff into context. We took a different approach: memory as reasoning. (We talk about this a lot on our blog) We built Neuromancer, a model trained specifically for AI-native memory. Instead of naive fact extraction, Neuromancer does formal logical reasoning over conversations to build representations that evolve over time. Its both cheap ( $2/M tokens ingestion, unlimited retrieval), token…

we finetuned Google's Gemma 270m (and 1b) small language models specialized in having conversations as non-playable characters (NPC) found in various video games. Our goal is to enhance the experience of interacting in NPSs in games by enabling natural language as means of communication (instead of single-choice dialog options).

Current AI chat assistants face a fundamental challenge: context management in long conversations. While current LLM apps use multiple separate conversations to bypass context limits, a truly human-like AI assistant should maintain a single, coherent conversation thread, making efficient context management critical. Although modern LLMs have longer contexts, they still suffer from the long-context problem (e.g. context rot problem) - reasoning ability decreases as context grows longer. Memory-based systems have been invented to alleviate the context rot problem, however, memory-based…
