Founder builds AI memory layer with itself in 10 days: what broke and what worked
Asly97 · reddit · 2026-09-05
The founder of Vilix AI spent 10 days building his cross-AI memory product using the product itself, wired into Cursor and Claude Code via MCP. Wins: auto-injected project rules saved 20 min/day of context priming, seamless tool-switching with retained decisions, and reusable agent skills. Failures: noisy semantic retrieval caused hallucinated memory relationships requiring fine-tuning, and source-aware memories proved useful only for debugging. He also notes the surprisingly strong psychological pull of persistent AI memory.
