Model-Neutral AI Brain

"Bring your own model, keep your brain." cachly is the memory layer — not the model. Your lessons, crystals, predictions, and team knowledge live in your Brain instance, accessible from any MCP-compatible AI client. Switch editors tomorrow; your Brain is already there.

Why model-neutrality matters

Vendor lock-in

Memory stored inside the model provider (Anthropic, OpenAI) is inaccessible the moment you switch tools. Your team's hard-won knowledge vanishes.

cachly approach

Your Brain lives in a neutral Redis/Valkey store you control. Any MCP-compatible client can connect — same ID, same lessons, zero migration.

7 supported clients — one Brain

One command — all editors

autopilot detects every installed editor and writes the correct config for each one — with your Brain ID pre-filled.

Already configured one client? Run autopilot again — it adds the missing ones without touching your existing setup.

What travels with you across clients

Verify with `brain_portability()`

Run brain_portability() inside any connected client. It returns your Brain ID and ready-to-paste config blocks for all 7 clients — the living proof that your Brain is not tied to the model you happen to be using right now.
