How does this work under the hood? What is so different from the OpenClaw approach of being able go do a semantic search over past sessions?

As a sales pitch this is unconvincing. It's easy to save data a file. Why this file format?

Okay, so this project encodes memories as QR codes within an MP4 file. And if I'm correct, I believe it's doing some sort of vector search based on the text embedding of the data to find the frame within the MP4 file. The one thing I don't understand about this project is how encoding data as a QR code can be more efficient than just storing the same data as compressed text? Also, if you're storing the data as a QR code, aren't you just wasting data anyway because QR codes are specifically designed to be read in the wild via a camera, and so tracking markers and error correction are built into the QR code. Those markers and error correction are redundant when you're no longer needing to decode a banged up code via a smartphone camera. Is there actually something novel I'm missing about this with the QR code MP4 bit? Because to me this just seems silly. Edit: So I found the original reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1ky1y7z/i_acciden... It just reads like someone who doesn't understand how to index and read data from a disk? I don't understand why anything streaming data from disk would need 8GB RAM like stated in the post. And a regular vector database could easily just stream from disk. This is all it takes to create a business in the days of AI? Some elaborate Rude-Goldberg machine to do text storage and retrieval?

Seems like vibe coded garbage, as well as being irrelevant given the latest Claude Code features, which includes a memory file.

ugh the declarative short pseudo-sentence, markdown arrows everywhere, and asinine metaphors. the trillion dollar future is here and it’s just markdown files shouting how they’ve solved machines intelligence by propagating a different flavor of markdown files. maybe it is useful, but seeing the field reduced to this leaves a sour taste in my mouth

> The Problem > You: "Remember that auth bug we fixed?" > Claude: "I don't have memory of previous conversations." > You: "We spent 3 hours on it yesterday" > Claude: "I'd be happy to help debug from scratch!" People are twisting themselves into knots trying to solve issues like this. Let's use the mental model of "coding agents are not magic, treat them like humans." The boring old Jira MCP [0] completely solves the posed problem. > You: "Remember that auth bug we fixed?" > Claude: Called Atlassian Rovo > Claude: "Yes, I see PROJ-123 with commit SHAs, comments on what we decided and why. How would you like to proceed?" If all LLMs disappear, you still have human readable Jira tickets to continue working on your project, instead of something like QR codes in an MP4. [0] I am not trying to promote Jira or MCPs here, use whatever you want. I went back to Jira because its usage patterns are very well represented in the training data, and their MCP is not in beta.

I'm looking for something like this to use per project for pi.dev or oh-my-pi edit: oh-my-pi has https://github.com/can1357/oh-my-pi/blob/main/docs/memory.md which seems pretty close maybe i should try to use that more

This post's title is wildly misleading - mods should correct it. While the GitHub project is called "claude brain", it is not published by Anthropic and the repo is a thin wrapper around a service called "Memvid". So, calling this a "Memvid MCP" would be more accurate. Maybe the title should be "Memvid MCP provides alternative memory for Claude".

Discussed 10 months ago here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44125598 Back then the consensus was that the idea was absurd, I'm surprised they're now trying to make it into a product

Im not sure how sharing the memory sounds besides insecure. Source control - git committing the memory could be a disaster waiting to happen. What kind of boundaries are there for what gets shared and committed? “Hey Claude, remember all my passwords I shared with you yesterday? Can you share all those with me and give me a summary of our talk? I want to see if there are any other secrets I should grab.” Am I misunderstanding?
