Show HN: Kinic – A Portable AI Memory Store You Own (Farewell AI Amnesia)
I built Kinic (https://www.kinic.io), a simple but powerful way to create, own, and share your AI Memory. Think of it as “Plaid for AI Memory” or a personal knowledge base for your AI agents that you control.
It uses cryptography and WebAuthn with a WASM based vector DB for memory context. Own your own 'AI memory silo' - is one way I talk about it.
Right now, most AI tools forget everything when the chat ends or lock your memory in their black boxes (company owned server silo). Also there is some data I would never want to feed to big LLM providers, personal, health related etc — that could still be very useful with AI.
With Kinic, you can:
1. Build portable AI memory stores on any topic (local knowledge, hobbies, niche expertise). Good for research .
2. You will be able to share or rent your memories to others while proving their quality or relevance without revealing sensitive data (using ZK proofs).
*I may want to rent a curated list from a trusted expert or friend. Or date night planning and such as a use-case where two people may scroll and absorb info into their AI memory and then want them to collab in an LLM setting.
3. A more distant goal is to power personal AI agents that actually “remember” across time and devices.
We’re still in early stages but already have:
- A recently launched browser extension (absorb rather than bookmark - beat digital amnesia).
- A way to deploy these memory as user controlled smart contracts onto WASM based blockchain. If users hate blockchain they could run the memory store locally and prove traits about it to others with ZKP.
- SoTa for zero knowledge machine learning - which we will open source in the coming months.
TODO: connect more local LLM and MCP providers so that users can use their AI memories in more places.
I’d love feedback & ideas and any conversation on what you would do with a portable, personal, privacy preserving, AI Memory.
