The Problem

Every AI system today has the same flaw: it guesses instead of remembers.

RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) converts your documents into vectors — numerical approximations of meaning. When you query, it returns content that is mathematically similar to your question. Similar is not the same as correct.

Ask for "HIPAA encryption penalties" and RAG returns chunks that look like compliance content. Maybe the right section. Maybe adjacent paragraphs. Maybe hallucinated ranges. You pay for every token retrieved, whether relevant or not.

This is the Retrieval Tax:

• Re-retrieval — Same questions, same searches, same cost
• Over-retrieval — 20 chunks when you need 3
• Labor — Engineers tuning embeddings instead of building products
• Risk — Approximate answers in domains that require precision

Enterprise AI spends 85% of compute on inference. Most of that is wasted on retrieving content that doesn't answer the question.

The Solution

GrantAi is deterministic memory for AI agents.

Instead of similarity search, GrantAi uses direct addressing. Every piece of knowledge has a unique identifier. Retrieval is a lookup, not a search. You get the exact content you indexed — verbatim, with attribution, in milliseconds.

RAG	GrantAi
Returns similar content	Returns the exact content
10-20 chunks, hope one is right	1-3 sentences, always right
Slows down as corpus grows	Milliseconds regardless of size
No attribution	Full audit trail
Approximate	Deterministic

Result: 97% reduction in tokens sent to the LLM. Faster responses. Lower cost. No hallucination from retrieval.

Why It Matters

• Compliance — Exact citations, not paraphrased guesses
• Multi-Agent — Shared memory across your AI workforce with speaker attribution
• Cost — Pay for answers, not for searching
• Security — 100% local, AES-256 encrypted, zero data egress

Quick Start

macOS / Linux (Native)

# 1. Download from https://solonai.com/grantai/download
# 2. Extract and install
./install.sh

# 3. Restart your AI tool (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.)

Docker (All Platforms)

docker pull ghcr.io/solonai-com/grantai-memory:1.8.6

Add to your Claude Desktop config (~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "grantai": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "--pull", "always",
               "-v", "grantai-data:/data",
               "ghcr.io/solonai-com/grantai-memory:1.8.6"]
    }
  }
}

MCP Tools

GrantAi provides these tools to your AI:

Tool	Description
grantai_infer	Query memory for relevant context
grantai_teach	Store content for future recall
grantai_learn	Import files or directories
grantai_health	Check server status
grantai_summarize	Store session summaries
grantai_project	Track project state
grantai_snippet	Store code patterns
grantai_git	Import git commit history
grantai_capture	Save conversation turns for continuity

Multi-Agent Memory Sharing

Multiple agents can share knowledge through GrantAi's memory layer.

Basic shared memory (no setup required)

# Any agent stores
grantai_teach(
    content="API rate limit is 100 requests/minute.",
    source="api-notes"
)

# Any agent retrieves
grantai_infer(input="API rate limiting")

All agents read from and write to the same memory pool. No configuration needed.

With agent attribution (optional)

Use speaker to track which agent stored what, and from_agents to filter retrieval:

# Store with identity
grantai_teach(
    content="API uses Bearer token auth.",
    source="api-research",
    speaker="researcher"  # optional
)

# Retrieve from specific agent
grantai_infer(
    input="API authentication",
    from_agents=["researcher"]  # optional filter
)

When to use speaker

Scenario	Use speaker?	Why
Shared knowledge base	No	All contributions equal, no filtering needed
Session continuity	No	Same context, just persist and retrieve
Research → Code handoff	Yes	Coder filters for researcher's findings only
Role-based trust	Yes	Security agent's input treated differently

Framework integration

GrantAi works with any MCP-compatible client. Point your agents at the same GrantAi instance:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "grantai": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "--pull", "always",
               "-v", "grantai-data:/data",
               "ghcr.io/solonai-com/grantai-memory:1.8.6"]
    }
  }
}

All agents using this config share the same memory volume (grantai-data).
