Introducing Vault: The Context Engine for Superhuman Intelligence

Today, we're excited to introduce Vault—the first context engine designed to bridge human expertise and AI capability, creating a path to superhuman intelligence.

Why We Built Vault

Every day, millions of knowledge workers face the same frustration: AI that doesn't remember them. Despite the explosion of AI capabilities, we're stuck re-explaining our context with every interaction. Our expertise, built over years, means nothing to AI that starts from zero every time.

Meanwhile, our knowledge management tools—built in the pre-AI era—treat our thoughts as files to organize rather than intelligence to amplify. We spend more time maintaining systems than building on ideas.

We realized the problem wasn't AI or note-taking. It was the missing layer between them. The translation layer. The context engine.

That's Phizzog.

What is Vault?

Vault is a fast, private, and open-source knowledge platform that transforms how humans and AI work together. Instead of treating AI as a tool you pick up and put down, Vault creates a living context layer that makes every AI interaction exponentially more powerful.

At its core, Vault does three things:

  1. Captures your knowledge naturally - Write, highlight, and think without worrying about organization
  2. Builds living context automatically - AI synthesizes connections and patterns from your expertise
  3. Amplifies every AI interaction - Your accumulated context makes AI understand YOUR world

Think of it as the difference between explaining your life story to a stranger every day versus working with a colleague who's been by your side for years.

Key Capabilities

🧠 Progressive Context Synthesis

Every note, highlight, and tag strengthens your context vault. Unlike static notes, your knowledge evolves and compounds over time.

🔒 Private & Local-First

Built with Tauri and Rust for blazing performance. Your notes are plain Markdown files on your computer. No cloud, no surveillance, complete control.

🤖 Multi-Model AI Integration

Works with OpenAI, Google Gemini, Ollama, and LM Studio. Each with persistent context, so switching models doesn't mean starting over.

🏷️ AI-First Tags

Tags aren't just metadata—they're context amplifiers. When AI sees #project-alpha, it automatically pulls in related notes, decisions, and history.

🔧 MCP-Native Architecture

Built on Model Context Protocol from the ground up. Ready for the agent-powered future where AI doesn't just chat—it acts.

📊 Dual Memory System

Neo4j knowledge graphs + Qdrant vector search create comprehensive understanding. Semantic meaning meets structural relationships.

What's Available Now

Vault is launching in beta for macOS, with Windows and Linux versions coming soon. The beta includes:

  • Full context engine with progressive synthesis
  • Multi-model AI chat with persistent memory
  • MCP tool integration for advanced workflows
  • PDF viewer with AI-powered analysis
  • Daily notes system for continuous capture
  • Export to PDF, HTML, and Word formats

Download the beta:

Open Source from Day One

We believe the infrastructure for superhuman intelligence should be:

  • Transparent - See exactly how your context is processed
  • Collaborative - Built with the community it serves
  • Accessible - Not locked behind corporate walls

Vault is licensed under Apache 2.0. Browse the code, contribute features, or fork it to build your own vision.

What's Next

This is just the beginning. Our immediate roadmap includes:

  • Terminal Mode - Direct integration with Claude Code and Gemini Code
  • Context Editing - AI that can modify notes based on conversations
  • Entity Intelligence - Smart tracking for people, projects, and contexts
  • Mobile Companion - iOS app for capturing context on the go

But more importantly, we're building this with you. Your workflows, your challenges, your vision for human-AI collaboration will shape Vault's evolution.

Join the Evolution

The future isn't about AI replacing human intelligence—it's about amplifying it. Every professional gaining the pattern recognition of a veteran. Every researcher seeing connections across domains. Every creator building on their complete creative history.

This is the world we're building. Not artificial superintelligence that replaces us, but superhuman intelligence that extends us.
