You have had this experience: you explain your project to an AI, have a productive conversation, then come back the next day and it has forgotten everything. You start over. Again. Every AI chat tool — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini — works this way. They are stateless by design. Alma changes this.
Alma is a persistent memory layer for AI. When you chat with Alma, it automatically extracts and saves important information: your preferences, facts about you, decisions you have made, projects you are working on. The next time you start a conversation, Alma assembles relevant context from your memory and injects it into the AI's system prompt. The AI knows who you are before you say a word.
Beyond memory, Alma has a Soul Engine — a structured identity system where you configure how the AI should behave with you. Not a single system prompt, but organized blocks: identity, personality, expertise, communication style, rules, and context. These blocks are versioned, editable, and persistent. Your AI develops a consistent personality that matches how you want to work.
Use Alma as a web app at alma.olivares.ai, through the VSCode extension for coding, via the MCP server with Claude Desktop or Cursor, or through the JavaScript SDK and REST API for custom integrations. Your memory follows you across all these tools — same memories, same soul, same context.
Your data is yours. Alma is GDPR compliant. You can export everything (JSON, PDF, DOCX, XLSX) at any time. Memories are encrypted, API keys use AES-256-GCM, and passwords are hashed with PBKDF2-SHA512. No data is sold or shared. You can delete your account and all data at any time.
Sign up at alma.olivares.ai. The free plan includes 500 memories, full chat access, and context assembly. No credit card required.
