Minimi
Minimi is a browser extension that adds ambient, persistent memory to Claude, the AI assistant. It automatically captures and recalls key information from your conversations, such as user preferences, ongoing projects, and important facts, allowing Claude to maintain context across multiple sessions without manual input. The extension works seamlessly in the background, enriching your interactions with Claude by providing relevant historical context in real time. Once installed, Minimi monitors your Claude chats and extracts salient details, storing them securely in a local or cloud-based memory vault. When you start a new conversation, Minimi injects the relevant memory snippets into the prompt, enabling Claude to remember your past discussions, decisions, and preferences. This creates a continuous, personalized experience that reduces repetition and improves the quality of long-term assistance. Key features include automatic memory capture, customizable memory retention policies, manual memory editing, and the ability to prioritize or forget specific items. Minimi is designed to be lightweight and privacy-conscious, with all memory processing occurring locally by default, though optional cloud sync is available for multi-device use. It supports Claude's web interface and can be extended to work with other AI chat platforms. Minimi is ideal for anyone who uses Claude regularly for complex or ongoing tasks, such as software development, writing, research, or business planning. By eliminating the need to re-explain context, it transforms Claude into a truly ambient assistant that grows smarter over time.

Problem solved
Claude, like most AI assistants, does not retain memory between separate chat sessions, forcing users to repeatedly provide context, preferences, and background information. This leads to fragmented and inefficient experiences, especially for long-running projects. Minimi solves this problem by acting as an ambient memory layer that automatically captures relevant details from conversations and recalls them when needed, giving Claude persistent, session-spanning memory without user effort.
Use cases
- Software developers maintaining context across multiple coding sessions with Claude, where project-specific constraints, codebases, and decisions are automatically remembered.
- Writers and content creators who use Claude for drafting, editing, and brainstorming; Minimi recalls stylistic preferences, previous drafts, and feedback to ensure consistency.
- Researchers using Claude to summarize papers, generate hypotheses, or manage literature reviews; the tool remembers key findings and ongoing threads across sessions.
- Business professionals who rely on Claude for meeting summaries, strategy discussions, or market analysis; Minimi retains organizational context and personal preferences.
- Students using Claude as a study aid, where the assistant remembers learning progress, problematic topics, and personalized explanations.
