1AIVault: portable memory for every AI tool

Unlike ChatGPT’s built-in memory, 1AIVault auto-imports conversations from all your AI tools, classifies them by topic, and makes that context available to any MCP-compatible app. Your memory is local-first, exportable, and never locked in.

Cross-tool memory
