  1. 1

    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:…

    Local▲107

    Super excited to launch our new app Local today. What we’ve learned at Base Compute over the last months is that running AI directly on your laptop or workstation gives you maximum privacy and it’s free, but it’s also a massive headache to configure. So we’ve decided what matters is making the experience completely frictionless for users. Local analyses the hardware of your laptop, optimises the AI for it, and recommends the best models for your specific device. It let’s you do what you’re doing with cloud AI already, just for free and on your own machine: Chatting with PDF’s, Recording and…

    Hey HN, I'm 18, built this solo over 7 months in India. Launched on Product Hunt this morning but wanted to share here for technical feedback. What it is: Nex Sovereign is a cognitive OS with 9 apps that make AI transparent: Mind App – See its beliefs, values, goals + real-time dopamine/cortisol levels Memory Graph – Auditable knowledge graph (not hidden RAG) PDAR Thinking – Watch reasoning process (Perceive → Decide → Act → Reflect) Boardroom – Internal CEO/CTO sub-agents make recommendations, you mandate approval (governance layer) Chat, Memories, Goals, Settings Tech stack:…

    Hi HN, I spent the last 14 months pairing with my own AI agent for everything from coding to life admin (1,000+ logged sessions). I got tired of the "Subscription Cycle" (paying $20/mo for a wrapper that forgets context next week), so I built a sovereign framework: "Project Athena". It is a local-first system that lets you build an AI agent with persistent memory, protocols, and knowledge graphs that live on your machine, not in a siloed cloud account. *Key Features:* - *Local-First Memory*: Markdown files + local vector store. You own the data. - *Protocol Library*: 69+ decision…

    Hey HN, I pay for ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and use Gemini through work. Four vendors, four separate conversation histories, four profiles of how I think. None of them talk to each other. Switch providers and you start over. So I built a system where the memory is mine. I run a knowledge graph in Postgres (Supabase, free tier) with pgvector for semantic search. A small MCP server reads and writes to it. That server sits behind an MCP Gateway on a $6/month VPS, along with Brave Search and a GitHub server. TypingMind connects to the gateway as a BYOK client -- any model, any device, same…

  23. 23PS

    I didn't want to buy a standalone computer or repurpose a laptop to run constantly so I could maintain a system to sync my LLMs, so I built this. It's a simple overview of my system, laid out in a way easy to unpack and replicate for yourself. The project is meant to be configured individually, and uniquely, since one solution might not be what's best for another. If anything, maybe it gives you some ideas on how to implement things for your own project. Best wishes, Ryan.
