Protecting Personal Thinking.

We believe personal thinking should remain personal, even in an age of intelligent machines.

Why This Matters

For the first time in history, part of human thinking is happening inside intelligent machines.

Every conversation with AI leaves behind memory, reasoning, and knowledge.

Yet most of that thinking remains trapped inside closed platforms.

If personal thinking becomes dependent on platforms, people may lose ownership of an increasingly important part of themselves.

We believe personal thinking should remain personal.

Our Mission

Protecting Personal Thinking.

We build standards, tools, and infrastructure that help people own, preserve, and extend their thinking in the age of AI.

What We Are Building

Standard, capture, and runtime: the first pieces of a practical system for personal AI memory.

01

An open standard for saving human-AI conversations as portable, readable, long-lived memory.

Why We Started LocalThink

As AI becomes part of human thinking, we believe the memory, reasoning, and knowledge created between humans and machines should belong to the people who create it.
