Kinic

Hey HN, I built Kinic (https://www.kinic.io), a simple but powerful way to create, own, and share your AI Memory. Think of it as “Plaid for AI Memory” or a personal knowledge base for your AI agents that you control. It uses cryptography and WebAuthn with a WASM based vector DB for memory context. Own your own 'AI memory silo' - is one way I talk about it. Right now, most AI tools forget everything when the chat ends or lock your memory in their black boxes (company owned server silo). Also there is some data I would never want to feed to big LLM providers, personal, health related…

Kinic launched on October 7, 2022 with 69 votes, #761 of 3,153 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 4 years on.

What it does

Kinic is the world's first web3 specific search engine. We use advanced semantic and contextual methods to surface app frontends that are built on blockchain. We then allow you to use text or categories to query and discover web3 dApps.

Stop re-explaining yourself to every AI tool. Kinic creates a portable memory layer that works across ChatGPT, Claude, custom agents, and more. Cryptographically secured, user-owned — your context follows YOU.

Kinic is your cryptographically secure, searchable memory for AI — every bookmark, email, note, and document in one place. Kinic is the personal AI memory that you own and control. It helps you store important information — bookmarks, emails, notes, and more — so you can search and retrieve it later with trusted, AI-powered queries. Augment large language models with your own data to build smarter agents and personalized intelligence. Gather data from your emails, socials, bookmarks, and much more. Fine tune and augment AI models with your data. No more copy and pasting into LLM interfaces. If you are an expert or influencer you can earn by renting out you personal AI memory stores. Do you…from kinic.io

    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:…

    This is a project that I have been building for a while now, YourMemory is a solution to agentic memory which focuses on pruning of noise rather than hoarding of data. In the current state of agentic memory most of the context is stored in the form of a MD file or is derived through a RAG model where you store each and everything. Both of the solution leads to bloated context which does not optimize the usage of any tokens. In this system we only keep relevant data in our memory and prune all the unnecessary data. The relevance of a data is derived through multiple factors such as recall…

    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 3d scanned the interior of the Great Pyramid / Khufu's pyramid for the Giza Project this summer and just finished the guided version to share. Would love feedback and/or problems you encounter. I used both a Leica BLK 360 and Matterport Pro 2 to do the scanning and the Matterport SDK for the web viewer. Matterport's web display with Three.js has been the most accessible to a wide audience in the past (previous iterations are in Unity and Unreal, but difficult to download over slower connections). I've been interviewing social studies teachers around the 6th grade level to…

  • Last time I posted this it didn't garner much interest. There have been lots of improvements and fixes since the last release. Quick list of features: - Workspaces - Tabs - Nested Folders - Lots of context menus - Response history - Plugins - Runs fully in the browser and runs offline if necessary - Chrome and Firefox extension to bypass CORS restrictions - Desktop builds for all platforms - GraphQL support - Import collections exported from Postman and Insomnia - Simple user friendly interface I built this because I love Insomnia but wanted a portable version that I could run in the…

  • APIs are a little like the open road—always waiting, full of opportunity, but hardly utilized. So here’s America, composed of several APIs that paint a vivid, real-time picture of a good old-fashioned road trip. Get local classifieds and photos. Tune into local radio stations. Talk wit other drivers. And more. Exploring the country by car was an invaluable experience for me during my time in the states. I’ve since moved to Barcelona, and find myself missing the territory. This is my attempt at recreating the magic.
