What Living Brain does

Stores documents, conversations and decisions outside the model, compiles them into linked pages (a knowledge graph), and retrieves the relevant context for each task. It's available through a hosted MCP server, REST API, SDKs and a CLI, with ChatGPT and Claude connectors. The API is in early access.

Good for

  • Keeping one project memory across ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and Codex
  • Giving your own agents persistent memory via MCP or an API
  • Cutting the tokens spent re-sending long histories

    Honest take

    No red flags in our notes so far

    • A real, documented product aimed at a real gap: memory that isn't locked inside one assistant. The headline numbers (92.2% LoCoMo, 22.6x fewer tokens, 0% hallucinations) are all the company's own internal evaluations, and the launch post mixes figures from two different benchmarks. Worth a trial if you hop between assistants; wait for independent tests before trusting the numbers. We haven't tested it hands-on.
