iai-personal-memory-engine

Why we included this project

Coding agents start each session with a clean slate, so on a long project you keep re-explaining the same preferences. iai-personal-memory-engine gives assistants like Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex a persistent memory store they read and write over the Model Context Protocol. It records every turn verbatim, lets you pin the details that matter, and can pull back facts that would otherwise fade, all stored on your machine with AES-256-GCM encryption and no telemetry. The Rust-native engine is fast enough to inject a compact memory pack at session start, which the project says costs about 88% less in tokens than letting the agent search its own history. If you use AI coding tools daily, this is a practical way to stop repeating yourself, and the local-only design means your conversation history never has to leave your machine.
