Not your keys,
not your bots.

Now your keys. Your bots.

Your AI knows you because OpenAI told it to.
Exo lets your AI know you because you told it to.
On-chain. Encrypted. Yours.

The Problem

Feb 2025

OpenAI wiped 6 months of user memories.

No warning. No recovery. No accountability. Affected users lost months of conversation history forever.

[OpenAI Status Page, Feb 2025]

Every time

When you switch models, your AI starts from zero.

ChatGPT to Claude. Claude to Gemini. Each switch resets everything. You re-explain yourself every session.

Always

Your AI's memory belongs to the company.

You are a user, not an owner. The platform controls what it knows about you — and can delete it without notice.

The Exo Answer

Every memory lives on Arkiv

Wallet-signed. Tamper-proof. Immutable $creator field on every entity. Not even we can delete your memories.

Encrypted before it leaves your browser

AES-256-GCM encryption. Your key is derived from your wallet signature — never stored anywhere.

Works with any model

Claude today. GPT tomorrow. Gemini next week. Your context travels with you across every model.
