Neuron adds local persistent memory for AI coding agents, with no cloud setup
Busy-Mix-6178 · reddit · 2026-07-26
Neuron is a lightweight, local CLI tool that gives AI coding agents persistent project memory without cloud dependencies.
- Fully offline: no external API keys or cloud setup required.
- Per-project isolation: creates a separate local database for each repo.
- Local search: uses text embeddings to search prior learnings and project rules quickly.
- Agent-ready: can generate an AGENTS.md file so agents know how to read and update memory themselves.
The author also shared a quick start: install via npm install -g @kovartravis/neuron, run neuron init, then add rules with neuron learn add and query them with neuron learn query.
