Project Description

Modern AIs have amnesia. They forget who you are the moment you close the tab, and your personal context is locked in corporate silos. We solve this with a decentralized, on-chain memory protocol that you own.

Our privacy-first browser extension uses an on-device AI (LaMini-Flan-T5) to locally analyze your conversations and build a "memory graph" of your preferences, skills, and interests. This memory is encrypted and stored permanently on IPFS, remaining 100% under your control.

This memory isn't just passive. We use it to instantly configure and deploy a fleet of 15 specialized, autonomous agents built on the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI) framework. These agents work for you 24/7—like a Lawyer or Doctor. These agents communicate their findings and interact with each other using the Hedera network for high-speed, secure messaging.

How it's Made

Our architecture is decentralized from top to bottom, composed of four layers that replace traditional, centralized components with trustless, user-controlled alternatives.

  • The Browser Extension (The User's Agent): This self-sovereign frontend is a Manifest V3 extension that runs entirely on the user's machine. It acts as the command center for the user's decentralized identity, orchestrating all client-side operations without reporting to a central server.

  • The On-Device AI (Decentralized Processing): To break reliance on centralized AI APIs and guarantee absolute privacy, all processing is local. We use Transformers.js to run a quantized LaMini-Flan-T5 model (ONNX/WASM). This processor extracts facts on the user's device, ensuring the most sensitive data—the user's raw conversations—is never exposed to any third party.

  • The Decentralized Backend (Trustless Storage): We replace traditional cloud databases with a fully decentralized stack. The encrypted memory JSON is stored on IPFS, making the data permanent, content-addressed, and censorship-resistant. A Solidity smart contract acts as a decentralized pointer registry, mapping the user's wallet address to their IPFS hash. This is a trustless, serverless backend that only the user can control.

  • The Autonomous Agent Network (Decentralized Action): Instead of a centralized task runner, we empower the user with 15 autonomous agents built on the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI) framework (uagents). These agents run as independent, sovereign entities. To ensure their communication is also decentralized, secure, and scalable, the agents interact and send notifications using the Hedera network, a high-throughput, trustless communication layer.
