In this episode, we spoke with Jonatan Bjork, Co-founder of Llongterm, about how persistent memory is changing the way AI systems interact with users across industries. Jonathan shared the personal journey that led to founding Llongterm, and how their technology allows AI to retain meaningful context across interactions. We explored how memory transforms user trust, the architecture behind Llongterm’s Mind-as-a-Service, and the future of portable AI memory.

Key Insights:

• Mind-as-a-Service: Specialized, persistent memory units that can be embedded in apps, tailored by use case (e.g. job interview prep, customer support).

• Structured and Transparent: Information is stored in user-readable JSON format, allowing full visibility and control.

• Self-structuring memory: Data automatically categorizes itself and evolves over time, helping apps focus on what matters most.

• Portable and secure: Users can edit or delete their data anytime, with future plans for open-source and on-premise options.

• Universal context: A future vision where users bring their own “mind” across AI apps, eliminating the need to start over every time.
