Privacy-First AI Memory

Your AI assistant knows a lot about you. Where does that knowledge live?

The Problem with Cloud Memory

Most AI memory solutions send your data to servers you don't control:

This data trains models. Improves products. Generates revenue. For someone else.

What We Believe

**Your agent's knowledge is YOUR intellectual property.**

When an AI learns your coding patterns, that's valuable. When it learns your business logic, that's trade secret. When it learns your preferences, that's personal data.

None of this should leave your hardware without your explicit consent.

How shodh-memory Stays Local

No Network Required

// The entire system runs locally

let memory = Memory::new("./my-private-memory")?;

// No API keys, no cloud endpoints, no telemetry

The binary has zero network dependencies. Air-gapped systems work fine.

No Data Exfiltration

We don't collect:

We CAN'T collect this data. The code doesn't include collection mechanisms.

Auditable

See exactly what's stored

shodh-memory export --format json > my_memories.json

Delete everything

rm -rf ~/.shodh-memory/data

You can inspect, export, and delete your memory at any time.

But What About Cloud AI?

Claude, GPT-4, etc. run in the cloud. How does local memory help?

The MCP protocol separates concerns:

You ←→ Cloud AI ←→ Local Memory

1. You send query to cloud AI

2. Cloud AI requests context from LOCAL memory server

3. Memory server returns relevant memories

4. Cloud AI responds with context

5. Important: Cloud AI never sees ALL your memories

Only what's retrieved for this query

The cloud AI sees query-relevant context, not your entire memory database.

GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2

Local-first memory simplifies compliance:

No third-party DPAs. No cloud provider audits. No cross-border transfer concerns.

The Trade-off

Local memory means:

For most use cases, this trade-off favors local.

Our Commitment

Shodh-memory will always be:

Your memory. Your hardware. Your data.
