Nikolin Memory · Private beta

Memory for AI agents.

Persistent, structured, and private. Nikolin Memory gives your agents a long-term brain that works across sessions, across projects, across tools.

Private beta· MCP-compatible· Built in Rust· Local-first
01 / The problem

Your agent forgets. Every single time.

Every new conversation with an AI agent starts from zero. What it learned about your codebase yesterday, your preferences last week, or your client's context three sessions ago is gone.

Context windows don't solve this. They just move the problem.

02 / A real memory layer

Not a bigger context window.

01Persistent

Survives every session.

Memory survives across sessions, projects, and restarts. Your agent remembers your codebase, your preferences, and your clients. Not just the last 200K tokens.

02Structured

Queryable, not opaque.

Not vector search over blobs. Hierarchical, queryable, and explicit. Your agent knows what it knows, and when it learned it.

03Private

Local-first by default.

Runs on your machine, your server, or your infrastructure. Your memory never touches a cloud you don't control.

03 / Compatibility

Works with the agents you already use.

MCP-compatible. Drops into existing agent workflows with zero code changes.

04 / Architecture

How it works.

Nikolin Memory is a standalone memory service written in Rust. It exposes four memory primitives: store, retrieve, query, reflect. Agents consume them over the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which modern AI agents speak natively.

When your agent runs, Nikolin Memory sits alongside it. Every interaction can be stored, structured, and retrieved later. Memory is organized in three hierarchical layers: short-term working memory, medium-term episodic memory, and long-term semantic memory. The model is inspired by how human memory actually works.

Data stays where you put it. Run Nikolin Memory locally on your machine, in a private VPS, or inside your organization's infrastructure. No cloud lock-in. No data leaving your perimeter.

Built with: Rust · MCP · Tokio · Postgres (optional) · SQLite (default) · Docker
05 / Use cases

What you can build with it.

01Developers

AI coding tools that remember.

Claude Code that remembers your architecture. Cursor that knows your conventions. Cline that doesn't re-learn your codebase every session.

02Product builders

Agents that remember your users.

Chatbots that keep context. Support agents that recall history. Personal assistants that actually get personal.

03Enterprises

Data-sovereign memory.

On-prem memory for regulated industries. Multi-tenant isolation at the memory layer, not in the prompt.

06 / FAQ

Questions.

Is it open source?

No. Nikolin Memory is closed source and commercially supported. Free for personal and development use during private beta.

What about pricing?

During private beta, it's free. Production pricing will be announced ahead of general availability. Enterprise inquiries: contact@smartopol.com

Does it require a cloud account?

No. Default deployment is local (SQLite + in-process). Postgres and Docker deployments are optional.

Does my data leave my machine?

Never by default. You control where memory is stored.

Can I use it with a custom agent?

Yes, if your agent supports MCP or you can wire it to our SDK.
