What it does
Hosted semantic memory your AI connects to over MCP. Every write passes a quality gate (~80% rejected as redundant in production), facts become typed claims, contradictions are tracked instead of overwritten, and answers cite their sources. 2-minute setup with Claude, works with any MCP client. 30-day free trial, no card. Plans from €0.99/month. EU infrastructure, patent-pending engine. Built solo in Bergamo, Italy.
Cortex is a patent-pending semantic memory infrastructure for persistent, model-independent AI context. Available as a ChatGPT connector.
Cortex non è un archivio, è l'ippocampo che gli manca. Governa la memoria semantica che ogni tuo modello e agente usano insieme: ricorda decisioni, contesto e fonti tra una conversazione e l'altra. Non vive dentro un'AI, la estende e le dà continuità. Cortex is not an archive, it is the hippocampus they lack. It governs the semantic memory all your models and agents share: it remembers decisions, context and sources across conversations. It does not live inside an AI, it extends it and gives it continuity. Ora nella directory ufficiale dei connettori di ChatGPT: lo attivi da lì, senza configurare nulla. E con il protocollo MCP, uno standard aperto, lo…from skynetlab-cortex.com

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
