Mynd | Devpost

Inspiration

The $2.3 trillion annual cost of AI amnesia inspired us to build Mynd. Every AI conversation starts from scratch, losing valuable context and forcing users to repeat information. We envisioned a world where AI remembers everything while keeping data completely private and under user control.

What it does

Mynd is a universal memory layer that captures digital context and delivers it to AI through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It stores semantic events locally, uses vector similarity search to find relevant context, and employs confidence scoring to decide when to use stored memory versus generating new responses. The system gives any AI perfect memory while maintaining complete privacy.

How we built it

Mynd is built using Python with a modular architecture:

Vector Storage: ChromaDB for semantic similarity search
Structured Data: SQLite for event storage and metadata
Semantic Processing: Custom event extraction and summarization
Web Interface: FastAPI with a ChatGPT-like UI
Memory Intelligence: Confidence-based retrieval system (>50% uses memory, <50% generates AI responses)
Privacy: Everything runs locally, no data leaves your machine

Challenges we ran into

Designing an intelligent confidence system to avoid returning questions as answers
Building a semantic event extraction system that captures meaningful context
Creating a natural conversation flow that doesn't explicitly mention memory retrieval

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Built a pretty reasonable universal memory layer for AI
Achieved 85%+ relevance scores with <0.5s response times
Created an intelligent confidence-based system that knows when to use memory
Developed comprehensive test suites with real-world scenarios
Built a beautiful web interface that demonstrates the dramatic difference memory makes
Solved the AI amnesia problem while maintaining complete privacy
