Ambient · The knowledge layer
The AI model changes.
You don't start again.
Ambient gives the AI you choose access to the knowledge you've built over years. One private vault across Claude, ChatGPT, and local models.
Free to start. Windows and Mac. No account, card or key needed.
Memory · Continuity · Ownership · Intelligence. What Ambient has read, what it understands, and what it can retrieve.
What it does
Your AI forgets. Ambient remembers.
Claude asks Ambient today and retrieves your context. ChatGPT asks tomorrow and retrieves the same context. Same knowledge, different AI.
Ask one question across years of work.
Hundreds of files, notes, threads and documents. One question. Ambient returns the passage that answers it, and tells you which source it came from.
Your AI can find the decision you made six months ago.
Ambient keeps what you and AI worked out together, so a conclusion you reached once is still available the next time it matters.
Your knowledge belongs with you.
Your vault and indexing stay on your computer. Ambient does not bulk-upload your knowledge to an AI provider, and you choose which AI you connect.
How it works
Four steps, then it stays out of your way.
- 01
Point Ambient at your work
Choose the folders you want it to watch. Documents, notes, exports, transcripts. Ambient reads them where they already live.
- 02
It understands and organises
Ambient parses and structures what it finds so a question can be answered from meaning, not just filenames.
- 03
Connect the AI you choose
Claude, ChatGPT, or another MCP-aware client. Ambient provides only the relevant context requested for that interaction.
- 04
Change the AI. Keep the context.
When a better model arrives, you connect it and carry on. Your accumulated intelligence stays where it belongs.
Your intelligence should compound across models, not restart inside each one.
Use the best AI available. Keep what belongs to you.
