đź§ AI apps need memory but building it yourself is brutal
Most AI apps eventually hit the same wall. They forget users unless you build a ton of infrastructure first. This means every AI dev eventually will end up building this infra to provide the best user experience needs for their agent and app.
What “rolling your own” really means:
Vector DBs + embeddings + tuning
Extracting memories from conversations (and resolving conflicts)
Designing user profile schemas and keeping them in sync
Managing long chat history + summarization pipelines
Juggling different formats across OpenAI, Claude, etc.
Hosting, scaling, backups, monitoring…
Timeline: 2–4 weeks (plus ongoing maintenance)
Cost: engineering time + infra + vector DB fees
🚀 With @Mnexium AI , memory is built-in
const client = new OpenAI({
baseURL: "https://mnexium.com/api/v1",
defaultHeaders: { "x-openai-key": OPENAI_KEY }
});
await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "gpt-4o",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }],
mnx: {
subject_id: "user_123",
history: true, // Chat history
learn: true, // Memory extraction
recall: true, // Memory retrieval
profile: true, // Structured user profiles
summarize: "balanced" // Typically ~75% token reduction
}
});
Timeline: ~5 minutes.
đź’ˇ What you get out of the box
✔️ Automatic memory extraction & recall
✔️ User profiles as structured data
✔️ Chat history with smart summarization
✔️ Works across OpenAI and Claude (same memory, any provider)
✔️ Drop-in replacement for the OpenAI SDK
👌 When should you use Mnexium?
Use it when you want memory working today and you’d rather ship features than maintain infrastructure.
(If you do have a full infra team who loves building pipelines… building your own may still make sense.)

This hits home. I've wasted weeks stiching together vector DBs, summaries and profiles just to make AI feel "aware." Seeing memory handled out of the box feels refreshing. I'd much rather focus on product logic than babysit infrastructure all day.

@savilia_lastero Agree so much!
I was building an iOS app when I hit this wall and decided to build this solution and then go back to the iOS app. I knew I was going to rebuild something like @Mnexium AI with every new project I would start.
