CPPMI · Cross-Platform Persistent Memory Infrastructure · Local-first
Every AI platform forgets the moment you leave it. CPPMI sits beneath the platforms you already work in — capturing the decisions, constraints, and reasoning of every session into a library you own, and carrying it with you wherever you work next. Nothing about how you work has to change.
Works across 12 AI platforms
The Gap
Every platform begins every conversation cold. This is not a fault of any one of them — it is a structural condition of how they are all built. And the cost is larger than lost time.
01
Each conversation begins as if nothing before it existed. Decisions made, constraints established, reasoning built across weeks — none of it carries forward.
02
Move from Claude to ChatGPT and you start from zero. Every platform switch is a full context reset — even mid-project, mid-thought.
03
You rebuild context constantly. You re-explain decisions already made and re-introduce projects already in motion — on every transition, every day. The cost compounds.
04
Every session teaches the platforms the substance of how you operate — your constraints, your preferences, your reasoning. That accumulated understanding is valuable. Today it builds up inside the platforms, where you cannot reach it, audit it, or keep it.
Cognitive Capital
Every session of AI-assisted work generates something beyond its output: the accumulated decisions, constraints, preferences, and institutional reasoning of how you operate. BackgroundAI calls it cognitive capital.
"Cognitive capital is an asset you pay every day to build — but do not own, cannot audit, and cannot retain. It is leaking continuously into systems beyond your control. CPPMI exists to invert that leak."
Today
Your cognitive capital accumulates inside whichever platforms you happen to use — fragmented, invisible, and unreachable. It disappears when sessions end, when platforms change, and when people move on.
With CPPMI
CPPMI captures it into a structured, encrypted library on your own device — unified across every platform you work in, accumulating over time, and surviving every session, switch, and departure.
How It Works
CPPMI works quietly in the background, beneath the AI tools you already use. No new workflow. No new interface. Nothing about how you work has to change — the context simply stays.
01
CPPMI observes your AI sessions as you work — capturing the decisions, constraints, preferences, and reasoning that matter.
02
Everything is encrypted (AES-GCM 256-bit) and saved only on your device. Your conversations never go anywhere — no cloud copies, no third parties. The library is yours entirely.
03
When you open a session — on any platform — CPPMI identifies which stored context is relevant to the task at hand, without you having to ask.
04
The right history reaches the right conversation — across platforms and across sessions. Each platform behaves as though it was part of the work from the beginning.
Features
Not a growing archive of everything ever said. A precise, managed library of context that you shape — and CPPMI honours.
Organise the library into named projects with explicit boundaries. Retrieval is scoped to the active project — context from one area of work does not surface in another.
Pin critical context so it's always prioritised. Mute what's temporarily irrelevant without deleting it. Remove what's outdated permanently.
Export your working context to an encrypted .bai file — protected by a password you set. Restore it on any device. Share it with collaborators you trust.
Bring stored context into the conversation in front of you the moment you need it — whether it was established on another platform, in another session, or earlier in this one.
Works identically across 12 AI platforms and 4 browsers. No preference for any model. No lock-in. Your continuity layer — wherever you work.
What CPPMI remembers stays on your device — the software has no way to send it anywhere. The only things it ever sends are a licence check and anonymous usage counts, and anyone can verify that in the code.
Privacy Architecture
The privacy promise isn't a policy you have to trust — it's how the software is built. Everything CPPMI remembers lives on your computer, encrypted, with no route to go anywhere else. The only thing the extension ever sends out is a quick "is my licence still active?" check and anonymous usage counts — never a word of anything you've discussed.
For organisations: data residency, POPIA and GDPR, security review — answered by the design before anyone asks. Information that never leaves your infrastructure can't end up in the wrong place, and BackgroundAI couldn't read it even if we wanted to.
The Beta Programme
Ahead of formal licensing rollout, BackgroundAI is inviting a small, selected group of enterprises into a closed beta — a real-world deployment, not a demonstration, run within your own environment, by your own teams, against your own workloads.
Structure
30 days from deployment, up to 250 seats, on a team of your choosing. Provided at no charge and without licensing condition.
Sovereignty
All memory resides on your own infrastructure throughout. No memory content is accessible to BackgroundAI — by architecture, not by agreement.
Validation
If your organisation has a documented process for evaluating software of this kind, completing it is treated as a precondition of deployment — not an exception to it.
Get Started
This is working software, not a waiting list. Click download, tell us who you are, and your activation key arrives by email — your AI tools will have memory from the very next session you open.
