Cross-App AI Context Vault

A local-first context layer that captures conversations, prompts, and project facts from every AI tool and injects the relevant slice into whichever tool you're currently using, via MCP server and browser extension. Users define 'projects' once and every AI session starts warm.

The problem

Indie hackers and knowledge workers juggle five or more AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Cursor, Gemini) and each one forgets everything the others know. One founder described how chat history, saved prompts, and integrations never carry over between apps, forcing constant re-explaining of project context.

Who it’s for

AI power users, indie hackers, developers using multiple LLM tools

Market

~1-5M AI power users and developers using multiple LLM tools globally

Source: external_knowledge

ChatGPT alone reports hundreds of millions of weekly users, and the subset of paying power users juggling multiple LLM subscriptions (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Gemini) plausibly numbers in the low millions, concentrated among developers and indie hackers. This is an external-knowledge estimate since no evidence posts quantify the segment.

Tool-agnostic and repo/local-first: instead of being another AI app, it sits underneath all of them and syncs context bidirectionally.
