Persistent memory for ChatGPT

ChatGPT forgets everything between sessions. Connect it to Kit for AI and it saves what matters as it works — and recalls it in any later session, on any machine.

Why ChatGPT forgets

ChatGPT's built-in Memory is real but it's a silo: it lives inside ChatGPT, you can't query it from code, and none of your other AI tools can read it. A memory API gives you the portable version — the facts ChatGPT should know, stored where every model and app of yours can reach them.

What you get

• remember / recall as tools the agent calls on its own — no manual note-keeping.
• Retrieval by meaning: "what did we decide about auth?" finds the JWT decision.
• One shared store: what this tool learns, Claude, Cursor, and your code can recall too.
• Near-duplicate detection and versioning keep months of memories clean.
• Same account ingests documents and URLs — memory and knowledge in one retrieval system.

Set it up in about 2 minutes

1. 1Create a free API key at kitforai.com/app/settings.
2. 2From your app or scripts, call the REST memory endpoints (below) — or wire them as actions in a custom GPT.
3. 3Recall relevant memories and prepend them to your ChatGPT API calls' context.
4. 4The same store is native tools in MCP agents like Claude and Cursor — one memory, every tool.

# Remember a fact (deduped automatically)

  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"content":"We ship on Fridays; staging DB is read-only."}'

# Recall by meaning

FAQ

How is this different from ChatGPT's built-in Memory?

Built-in Memory is locked to ChatGPT and invisible to your code. Kit for AI memory is an API: your product, your scripts, and your other AI tools read and write the same store — with search, dedup, and provenance.

Does ChatGPT save memories automatically?

Yes — once connected, the agent has remember and recall as callable tools and uses them on its own: it saves decisions and preferences mid-conversation and retrieves them when they're relevant. You can also tell it explicitly to remember something.

Is my data private?

Memories are owner-scoped to your account, served over HTTPS, with encryption at rest for stored content and an audit trail of what agents wrote. You can review, edit, and delete every memory from the dashboard.

Can my other AI tools share this memory?

Yes — that's the point. The same store is reachable from every MCP client and over REST, so what ChatGPT learns, Claude, Cursor, and your own code can recall too.

Is it free?

There's a free plan — an account and API key cost nothing, and setup takes about two minutes. Paid plans add higher quotas and team features.
