Here is why a shared, reviewed memory layer under ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor beats per-tool memory. Your people already use ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor, often without a policy. Each of those tools keeps its own memory, per person and per account. That is fine for one person. For a company it means **every AI tool starts from zero**, and when someone leaves, their context leaves too. ## The problem with memory per tool - **Decisions don't travel.** What Finance agreed in a Claude chat is unknown to the ChatGPT account Support uses. - **Vendor risk.** When an account is locked or a tool is banned, the knowledge goes with it. - **No review.** Personal memory is never checked, so two tools can confidently give two different answers. ## One memory, underneath Wemember is a company memory layer. AI tools connect to it through the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) and read from the same shared memory: 1. **Remember.** An AI tool proposes a memory from a conversation or a document. Nothing is saved yet. 2. **Review.** The owner says yes, edits or rejects. Conflicts show side by side. 3. **Recall.** Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor answer from it, with the source and the version. Because the memory lives underneath, you can switch AI and keep the memory. ## What the AI lead keeps control of Access follows teams, so an AI tool never sees more than the person who connected it. Every action in an app waits for a person, and every proposal, decision and change is in the audit log. Storage is in the EU.
