Summary

Claudia is a terminal-based AI chief of staff addressing the memory deficit in AI assistants. It functions as a persistent thinking partner, tracking relationships, commitments, and user judgment. Ideal for power users and engineers, it offers a continuously learning AI that adapts to individual work styles, enhancing personal knowledge management and strategic assistance.

How It Works

Claudia utilizes a memory system storing facts with provenance and semantic embeddings, recalled via hybrid ranking. A two-tier agent team (Haiku for processing, Sonnet for research) handles tasks, while Claudia retains strategic decisions. Overnight processes consolidate memories and surface patterns. It integrates with Obsidian, projecting memories into a user-owned markdown vault with synthesized topic pages and source citations.

Quick Start & Requirements

Install via npx get-claudia, then run claude from the claudia directory. Prerequisites include Claude Code, Node.js 18+, Python 3.10+ (memory), and Ollama for embeddings. Users must pull the all-minilm:l6-v2 model via Ollama. Google Workspace integration is available via npx get-claudia google.
