You've told AI about your job, your projects, your preferences - dozens of times. Tomorrow, you'll tell it again. Or switch to a new tool and start from zero. That's broken. Your context should be yours.
You open a new conversation. The AI doesn't know who you are. Doesn't know your role, your projects, your constraints. So you explain. Again.
Or you use "memory" features. But whose memory is it? OpenAI's? Anthropic's? Stored on their servers, in their format, for their purposes. Can you export it? Take it somewhere else? Usually: no.
The AI companies have built memory as lock-in. The more context they have about you, the harder it is to leave. That's not a feature for you. It's a feature for them.
AI "memory" features don't solve the problem because they're designed wrong. The problem isn't remembering - it's ownership.
AI companies extract context from your conversations. They own it. They decide what to remember. You're the data source.
You author your own context. You own it. You decide what to share, when, with which AI. You're the author, not the source.
The Personal Context Vault inverts the power relationship. Instead of AI companies owning your context and extracting value from it, you author your own machine-readable self and choose when to share.
Your roles, projects, preferences, history - structured in a way AI can understand. You write it. You control it.
Your vault lives on your device, encrypted with your keys. Not on our servers. Not on OpenAI's servers. Yours.
Start a conversation with any AI. Choose to share context - full, partial, or none. The AI gets what you permit, nothing more.
Switch from Claude to GPT to a local model. Your context travels with you. No lock-in. Portable by design.
The Personal Context Vault is in private beta. Join the waitlist for early access. We're rolling out in batches and prioritizing people who are actively frustrated with the current state.
Get Early AccessTell us what you're looking for. We'll discuss if you're a fit for early access.
Your vault is encrypted on your device with keys only you control. We can't read it even if we wanted to. Free tier is entirely local. Pro sync is end-to-end encrypted.
We use MCP (Model Context Protocol) - an open standard for connecting context to AI. Works with Claude, GPT, and any provider that supports MCP.
Always. Your vault is in an open format (CFS). Export anytime. We believe in portability, not lock-in. If you want to leave, take everything with you.
ChatGPT memory is owned by OpenAI, stored on their servers, in their format, not portable. Your vault is owned by you, stored locally, open format, works with any AI.
