Portable Open File Format for AI Memory
Problem
Current AI memory features rely on proprietary storage formats tied to specific platforms or services, preventing users from transferring, sharing, or preserving memories across tools, leading to lock‑in effects and data silos.
Pain points
- Proprietary memory formats tied to specific platforms cause data lock‑in
- Lack of a standardized open memory file format
- Existing solutions only work within particular tools, limiting portability
Questions to verify
- Which platforms' AI memory features are you currently using, and have you experienced data migration or lock‑in issues?
- Are you interested in an open file format similar to DaiDocs, and in which scenarios would you consider using it?
- Would you be willing to pay for such a tool or contribute to its community?
Evidence
fact · @Anonymous
A .dai file is a UTF-8 text with three parts: A YAML header, structured JSON which contains what the model understands and the original text.

The idea is that AI memory should be like a JPEG, an open format that models can read instead of something that is locked to the memory providers database/
