In simple English
Standard artificial intelligence chats forget what you told them by tomorrow. This tool acts as an executive assistant that lives in your terminal and actually remembers people. It tracks your promises, notices when contacts go cold, and syncs notes to Obsidian. You install it with a simple command and run it locally on your computer. It is free for personal use.
What it is
Claudia is a terminal-based artificial intelligence assistant that combines a markdown rule set with a local Python memory daemon. It runs inside Claude Code or Codex to maintain long-term context across multiple sessions.

- Remembers people, promises, and context across different chat sessions.
- Saves your notes locally in an Obsidian vault using plain markdown files.

- Requires technical command-line tools like Node.js, Python, and Ollama to work.
- Custom licence restricts commercial use without paying the author.
