Personal assistants
Memory for a personal AI assistant
Your life is in email, documents, photographs of receipts and voice notes. An assistant that only sees the chat window is guessing.
Today
You tell the assistant something useful and it is gone next week. The details it would need are somewhere else anyway: the flight confirmation is in your mail, the quote is a photograph, the decision was made out loud on a call. So you paste things in, and paste the same things in again, and the assistant is only ever as good as what you remembered to hand it.
With a memory
Capture is where you already are. Forward an email, send a voice note to the Telegram bot, photograph a receipt. The assistant queries the same store from Claude, ChatGPT or anything else you connect, so what you captured on your phone is available in the tool you happen to be using.
What that looks like
Capture takes one action
Forward the message, or send the photo. No filing, no deciding which folder, no format. The parsing happens afterwards and out of your way.
One memory, several assistants
Claude and ChatGPT read the same store. Switching tools does not mean starting over, and neither does using both.
A photograph is searchable text
Receipts, whiteboards, screenshots and scanned letters are read, so you can find them by what they say rather than by when you took them.
It is yours
Export everything through the API under your own credentials, and delete it the same way. No export request, no waiting.
The shape of it
You: what did the plumber quote for the boiler?
Claude: £2,340 including the flue, quoted by Marcus Reid
on 3 August. From a photo you sent to Telegram that day.
He noted the price holds for 30 days, so it expired on
the 2nd.What this does not do
It does not organise your life. Nothing here decides what matters, sets a reminder or files anything into a system. It remembers what you gave it and answers questions about it, and the deciding stays yours.
