Dates, loose ends —
just say them.
"Car inspection, first Tuesday of next month." Say that once, and as the day comes near your AI brings it up. No calendar, no input field.
- Signing up takes minutes
- Free for now
- Phone or computer
- Leave whenever you like
Got it.
All of it, just by talking
This is what the screen looks like. No special steps, and no set phrases to learn.
When "I'll do it later" quietly became never
Got it.
If it is already done, say so and it goes away. It will not nag.
When a way of asking worked, and you want to keep it
Saved under the name "minutes". Whether to use it is up to you.
You never have to hunt for that long instruction again. It can only draft — deciding to use it is always yours.
When the AI states something flatly
The answer is not rewritten. One assumption is set beside it. You can turn this off.
When something connects to an older conversation
Never a verdict, always a question. If it is wrong, you simply say so.
Developer note (in Japanese): The AI said there was no precedent. Two weeks later, I said the same thing. — how the person building this doubt-check took an AI at its word three times.
Even on a day you never open your AI, it arrives.
On the morning before something is due, one email arrives.
- Just the time and how many. No long text.
- Nothing is sent on a day with nothing due. It does not come every morning.
- Anything to do with health is never put in the email.
Memory that lives inside an AI cannot do this. On a day you do not open it, an AI can do nothing of its own accord.
Use the notes on your own computer, together with AI
SOKI does not hold your notes. It reads a folder on your own computer, on the spot. Nothing is written until you have seen the before and the after and pressed "Write".
Notes
- Search in plain words. Ask "where did I write about that document?" and the passage comes back with it. A plain text search that does not use AI is there too.
- You can also ask it to add, fix or remove. Before it touches a note it always shows you the before and the after.
- The version before a change stays inside your notes folder (a hidden
.sokifolder). You can undo them one at a time. Deleting moves the note into_to_deleteinstead of erasing it. - The note you have open can be saved as Word (.docx). Saving and copying happen entirely on your computer.
Growth record
- Pick a period and it draws how your thinking and your questions have changed from what you have kept in SOKI. Health records, and records about other people, are never used.
- Choose your notes folder and the notes dated in that period are used as well. It works without them too.
- The finished growth record is not kept in SOKI. Whether to save a copy is yours to decide.
Note apps it works with (the common ones)
If the text sits in a folder as .md or .txt files, the app does not matter.
- Obsidian
- Logseq
- Typora
- Visual Studio Code
- iA Writer
- TextEdit (Mac) · Notepad (Windows)
Apps that keep the text in the cloud rather than as files — Notion, Evernote, Google Keep, Apple Notes — cannot be read as they are. Export to Markdown and they work the same way.
What it can read, and what you need
- .md (Markdown) and .txt, up to 2MB each. However many subfolders there are, it reads them all.
- It understands headings, lists, tables and checkboxes, a title or tags fenced by
---, and[[note name]]links. - Names beginning with "." and the folders
node_modulesand_to_deleteare skipped. - Images and PDFs are not read (only their names appear).
- Please use Chrome or Edge. Safari and Firefox do not support the way folders are read.
- It is for computers only. It does not work on a phone.
Both are on the screens you see after signing in — "Notes", and "Make a growth record".
With SOKI, talking is all it takes
How is this different from the "memory" already built into your AI, or from other memory tools? Here it is, laid out without jargon. The places where SOKI loses are at the bottom of the same table.
New to "built-in AI memory"? ChatGPT and Claude quietly remember things you say, without you setting anything up. That is their built-in memory, and since 2026 it works on the free plans too.This table sets that built-in memory next to SOKI: where they are the same, and where they part ways.

"Built-in AI memory" means the memory ChatGPT, Claude and the like have from the start. They all change quickly, so the table above is as of September 2026.
"Other memory tools" means memory servers you connect to an AI. They differ from product to product, so this shows the general tendency.
SOKI made this table itself. The items where SOKI loses are in the same table.
What this table is based on
These products change quickly. Where this table and a source disagree, the source as it reads today is the correct one.
On built-in AI memory
- Claude's memory works everywhere, and you decide what's in it Anthropic, official blog, 25 August 2026 Used for: That it is on by default / that you can see everything it remembers / that health and the like are left out by default
- Use Claude's chat search and memory to build on previous context Claude Help Center Used for: That it is on by default, free plans included / that links back to the original chat appear
- Memory FAQ (Japanese) OpenAI Help Center Used for: That the memory summary does not contain everything it remembers
- ChatGPT begins "memory" that draws on your whole chat history Impress Watch (Japanese), 11 April 2025 Used for: That the wording of past conversations can be traced back
- Claude can now take in "memories" from ChatGPT and others Impress Watch (Japanese), 3 March 2026 Used for: That built-in memory reached the free plans / that the move is a manual copy-and-paste
On SOKI
- Privacy Policy mcp.kitemir.jp Used for: What is stored / what is not / who receives it / how long it is kept
- How to connect No sign-in needed Used for: How much work connecting actually is (an item where SOKI loses)
First, what it cannot do.
Better to know before you sign up than to find out afterwards.
What it will not remember
- Health, beliefs, social status and other sensitive personal information are not recorded by default. They are handled only if you allow it in your settings.
- Anyone other than you is recorded under a pseudonym only. No table linking a pseudonym to a real name is kept anywhere.
- Only statements of fact are recorded. Judgements about a person — "meticulous", "anxious" — are not.
Yours
- You can see the whole list of what it remembers, at any time.
- You can export all of it and take it with you. Nothing is left behind when you leave.
- Delete or close your account at any time. Connected AIs can be disconnected at any time too.
- Basic records such as your name or where you are from cannot be retracted on the AI's own judgement. Correcting them is your call.
Set it up once.
Paste SOKI's address into your AI's settings screen once. That is the whole of it. You will not be asked to set anything up again.
First — SOKI cannot be used alongside the AI's own memory.
Please turn off the memory feature in the AI you use. If it stays on, the AI writes what you said into its own store, and nothing reaches SOKI. It does this silently, so it looks as though everything is working. It is not strictly required for Claude, but two stores means two places to look, so off is recommended.
Choose the AI you use
The desktop apps keep their settings in a different place from the browser versions. Pick the one you actually use.
Download the SOKI setup & connection manual
PDF (about 3 MB). Shows each step from signing up to connecting your AI, with screenshots (taken from the Japanese screens).
A connected AI can be disconnected at any time.
SOKI is used by connecting it to an AI such as ChatGPT or Claude. It does nothing on its own. See how to connect above.
Before you begin.
Do I need to know anything technical?
No. All you do is paste SOKI's address into your AI's settings screen. We have step-by-step pages with screenshots for each AI. After that you simply talk as usual — there is nothing special to do to make it remember.
Which AIs does it work with?
We have step-by-step pages for Claude and ChatGPT (browser and app for each). It also works with any other AI that can connect to outside services.
Can I use it alongside the built-in "memory" in ChatGPT or Claude?
We do not recommend it. With the AI's own memory switched on, it may write what you said into its own store and nothing reaches SOKI. Worse, it does this silently, so it looks as though everything is working. Please turn your AI's memory feature off. (It is not strictly required for Claude, but two stores means two places to look, so off is recommended.)
How do I create a skill?
Log in, open "Skills" in your settings, write a name, a description and the instruction for the AI, and save. Four are included from the start, so the quickest route is to rewrite one of those. Skills you do not use can be paused (nothing is deleted, so you can bring them back). When something works well in a conversation, you can ask the AI to “make this a skill” and it will leave a draft. A draft does nothing until you have checked it and switched it on. Until then it never reaches the AI, and the AI can neither switch it on nor rewrite a skill you already have.
Where are the memories stored, and who can see them?
They are held on SOKI's server. Only you can view, export or delete your own memories. Third parties are recorded under pseudonyms only, and sensitive personal information is not recorded by default. See the privacy policy for details.
Can I stop partway through?
Yes. You can disconnect any AI at any time, and export, delete or close your account whenever you like. Nothing is left stranded when you go.
What does "beta" mean here?
That it is being built in the open. Screens and behaviour may change, and some things may not work yet. If you notice something, please tell us through contact.
Never explain yourself twice.
Set it up once. After that, just talk as you always do.
