Context manager for AI assistants
A desktop sidebar that gives AI assistants a memory that does not collapse: reusable knowledge buckets instead of one ever growing context window.
01 Architecture
- Electron shell in TypeScript, with SQLite as the local store so nothing leaves the machine.
- Knowledge is authored once into named buckets and reused across assistants, rather than re-pasted per conversation.
- Selective context injection picks only the buckets a given turn needs, which is what keeps prompts small.
- Real time analysis of the running conversation decides what is worth injecting next.
- Adapter layer so the same buckets serve 3+ different assistants.
02 What is in it
- Solved context window bloat across 100+ chats.
- Adopted by 8+ teammates and presented at internal AI meetups.
- Built as an internal tool while at Amazon, so there is no public build.
