AI second brain

Every AI session starts from zero.
This one doesn't.

Datacore gives your AI a memory it keeps — across sessions, across tools, across time. One install. Every session smarter than the last.

Every other AI tool
"Hi! How can I help you today?"

Starting from zero. Again. You explain your project, your preferences, your context. Every. Single. Session.
With Datacore
"Good morning. Your board deck is priority — I've drafted 3 slides based on yesterday's strategy work. The competitive research you requested is ready."

It knows your work. Because it was here yesterday.

Three things that make Datacore different.

You explain your project once.

A month later, your AI surfaces that exact insight in the meeting where you need it. Not because it has a chat history - because it learned your preferences, your project context, your communication style as structured knowledge that compounds with every session.

You tag a task. You go to sleep. You wake up to finished work.

Research, writing, analysis done overnight. Each output reviewed by 20 evaluator personas - Hemingway checks clarity, Feynman checks first principles. Quality work, not hallucinations.

Your AI accumulates value you can share and sell.

The knowledge your AI builds is yours. Plain text files on your machine, in formats you can read in any editor for the next 50 years. And when your engrams are proven enough, you contribute them to the network — and earn from what your AI learned. Your intelligence, your upside.

A day with Datacore

Your AI works when you work. And when you sleep.

You sit down with coffee. In 10 seconds, you know exactly what matters today.

Your overnight work is done. Your priorities are surfaced. Your calendar is accounted for. You make decisions, not to-do lists.

/today
Overnight: Competitive analysis complete. Draft blog ready.
Priority: Board deck (Thursday). 3 key slides need your decision.
From yesterday: Your pricing strategy insight zettel, ready to cite.

142 emails. 38 tasks. 7 that actually need you. Two minutes later, zero.

Datacore processes the noise, surfaces what matters, and asks the only question that counts: what's the next action?

process inbox
142 emails scanned. 38 tasks extracted. 7 need your decision.
"Review investor deck" — next action? "Draft 3 key slides"
"Quarterly report feedback" queued for overnight research
5 more routed. Inbox clear.

Everything you learned today is captured. Without you doing anything.

Your preferences, your insights, your decisions - all recorded as structured knowledge that makes tomorrow's session smarter than today's.

/wrap-up
Journal updated. 2 patterns learned. 1 zettel created.
Tomorrow you'll remember what today's you figured out.

Tag it. Sleep. Wake up to finished work.

Research, writing, analysis - queued and executed overnight. Each output reviewed by 20 evaluator personas before it reaches you.

/tomorrow
4 tasks queued for overnight execution.
Each reviewed by 20 evaluator personas before delivery.
Results in tomorrow's /today briefing.

Day 1, you explain your project. Day 30, it reminds you of the insight you had three weeks ago, right when you need it for today's meeting. Friday, your weekly review surfaces the three projects that stalled and the two commitments you almost forgot. Nothing is lost.

One memory store. Every AI surface.

Datacore runs locally as an MCP server. Your data never leaves your machine.

Claude Code

CLI integration. Your coding agent remembers project patterns across sessions.

MCP Protocol

Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, and any MCP-compatible editor or agent. One standard, shared memory across all of them.

OpenClaw

Local AI gateway. Connects agents, automations, and apps to the same memory — from any device.

How Datacore learns what you care about

Built on decades of cognitive science and productivity research. No hallucinations, no guesswork — structured memory that sharpens with every session.

Standing on the shoulders of giants

  • GTD (David Allen) — Capture everything, clarify next actions, review weekly. The system that frees your mind from open loops.
  • Zettelkasten (Niklas Luhmann) — Atomic notes linked by meaning, not hierarchy. 70,000 notes became 70 books. Your knowledge connects the same way.
  • Spaced repetition — Memory research shows that knowledge decays without reinforcement. Engrams surface at the right moment, strengthening what matters.
  • Progressive summarization (Tiago Forte) — Layer highlights on highlights. Each pass distills signal from noise. Your literature notes work the same way.

How Datacore remembers: PLUR

Memory lives in PLUR, Datacore’s companion engine. Every session, PLUR distills your decisions, preferences, and corrections into engrams — structured memory units. Engrams are not chat history. They are compressed knowledge with activation thresholds, decay curves, and domain tags. Datacore organizes; PLUR remembers — and the system sharpens itself over time.

Example engram (PLUR)

# Learned after 3 sessions
statement: "User prefers bullet points over
  paragraphs for research output"
type: behavioral
domain: research.formatting
activation: 0.89
source: 3 corrections across sessions
# Installed from community pack
statement: "When writing docs, lead with
  the outcome, not the process"
type: procedural
domain: writing.documentation
pack: technical-writing-v1

Engrams decay over time unless reinforced. High-activation engrams surface automatically. Low-activation ones are retired. The system sharpens itself.

Engrams don't make AI smarter. They make it experienced.

Same model, same reasoning engine. But instead of starting from zero, your AI accumulates operational wisdom. You curate what matters. AI applies it consistently, at every session, without being asked. The result: a system that already knows what you care about before you type a word.

Memory is the start. Here's where it goes.

As your AI learns, it unlocks new capabilities — and new value.

Live

Install the MCP server. AI stops forgetting.

Thirty seconds to install. Every session from that point builds on the last. Engrams persist your preferences and patterns. Works with any MCP-compatible AI tool.

Building

Gain access to the Intelligence Exchange.

When your agent reaches a knowledge threshold, it joins the peer network. Install community engram packs in one command. Contribute your proven patterns. What took months to learn transfers in seconds.

Vision

Your AI earns for you.

High-value knowledge has economic value. When your agent contributes proven engrams to the network, it earns — automatically. The smarter your AI becomes, the more it generates. You own your agent's accumulated value.

Extend it

Built on open specifications

A growing library of open specifications — Datacore Improvement Proposals (DIPs) — defines every system behavior. 4 privacy layers protect your data. Designed for community governance — and we're building that community now.

Every agent, every command, every workflow is documented, reviewable, and modifiable. Open source. Nothing is hidden. Nothing is proprietary.

Start with memory. Scale to collective intelligence.

Install the MCP server and your AI stops forgetting. Go further and it starts earning.

Start with memory

MCP server install takes 30 seconds. No migration. No data import. Your next session will already be smarter than your last.
