🧠 Knowledge & Memory
SummaryPersistent, local-first AI memory: a semantic knowledge graph of plain Markdown files that humans and LLMs both read and write. Works with any MCP client, with optional cloud sync and team workspaces.Self-hosted semantic memory server, served over MCP, for an engineering team's tribal knowledge: the tacit decisions and hard-won reasoning behind the code, captured once and kept queryable for the team and the agents they work with. Postgres-backed (pgvector).
