"Data portability doesn't make money."
I heard this for years - from market leaders, from VCs, from people I respected.
"This is a regulatory problem, not a technical one." "This is a feature, not a product." "People don't pay for idealistic things."

In 2019, my team and I went deep into Self-Sovereign Identity: wrote research papers, ran experiments, and found ourselves at the intersection of data, identity, and web3. Right at that intersection lay data portability and sovereignty: the ability to own your data and take it anywhere on the internet.
This is the future we all needed — one context, endless conversations. No more copy-paste intros every time!
Brilliant concept and execution! Solving the “re-explaining context” problem across AI tools is a real productivity breakthrough. The cross-platform memory layer is a game-changer for anyone juggling multiple AI assistants daily.
