A memory your AI keeps between chats

Every new chat with an AI starts from nothing. AIngram gives it a notebook that lasts: it writes down what matters, reads it back next time, and you hold the only key that can change the rules.

When a chat starts, your AI reads its notes first, so it already knows you, your projects and what you decided last time. Notes are only ever added, never edited behind your back, and you can read every one of them. If something shouldn't be kept, you tell AIngram to forget it, and the words are gone for good.

A key instead of a password

Changing anything that matters, from letting a new AI in to rewriting the rules, needs your approval. You give it with a private key: a secret that lives in a free browser extension called a wallet, and never leaves your computer. Your wallet uses it to sign each change, which proves the request came from you and covers only that one change.

That's stronger than a password. A password is sent to the website, so it can be guessed, phished or stolen from the server. Your private key is never sent anywhere, so someone who steals your login, or even breaks into the server, still can't change your AI's memory.

It also costs nothing. "Wallet" sounds like crypto, but AIngram only ever asks you to sign a message. Nothing goes to a blockchain, so there are no fees, and you don't need to buy or hold any crypto, not even a cent. Setting one up takes about ten minutes.

Two ways in

AIngram has two jobs: someone runs the server it lives on, and someone uses it. That can be the same person, or a friend can set it up for you.

For anyone · no coding

Technical · the person setting it up

Running a server

Needs a small server, a web address and some comfort with a terminal.

  1. Get a server and a web address
  2. Install AIngram
  3. Put it behind HTTPS
  4. Turn on nightly backups
Set up a server →

Doing both? Start with the wallet.

The server asks for your wallet's address when you set it up, so it's easiest to have one first.

Words you'll see

Entry
One note in your AI's memory, like "Ada prefers short replies."
Subject
What a note is about, written like a folder path: people/ada, projects/garden.
Voice
Who wrote a note. The brain is Claude in a normal chat; Code is Claude Code, the coding assistant.
Wallet
A free browser add-on that holds your key. Here it's used for signing, never for money.
Signing
Approving something with your wallet. Like initialling a page: it proves it was you.
Policy
The rules: who may write what, and how much. You approve them, and you can change them.
Forget
Removing a note's words for good. A marker is left so the record still adds up.
MCP
The standard way AI apps plug into tools like AIngram. You'll only see it in a web address.
