Portable Personal AI Identity: A User-Owned Memory Layer for AI Assistants
OpenAI Developer Community
June 5, 2026
I am building such a thing at the moment for my personal use. It’s divided up in different life-domains (further divided into sub-modules that carry weight), I generate insight through chats, i then extract the most valuable insights and incorporate them into a domain’s body of knowledge. A few benefits surface up straight away :
* It’s platform agnostic, so I can just pack up and move across models with ease.
* And I can surface cross domain insights with ease (something u cant do across projects on most platforms i think?)
* Chats have deeper context to go with
Though you have to be careful of how costly this can get the more it grows. But I think if used with caution it makes for sharper usage. I should also say, one would need to make extra sure that personalisation settings are set up “properly” (i.e. a constructive opposer and not a sycophant)
