contextium
100% Open Source Apache 2.0

AI that doesn't learn
isn't intelligence.

Give your AI an operating system. Persistent context that compounds session over session.

terminal
$ curl -sSL contextium.ai/install | bash

You can see what AI should be.

A genuine multiplier across everything you do. But every session starts from zero. You re-explain who you are, what you're working on, what you already decided. The gap between AI's promise and your reality never closes.

Native AI "Memory"

A flat list of facts in a black box. No structure. No rules. No routing. No compounding. Your AI has the same IQ on day 1,000 as day 1.

A sticky note.

Contextium

A structured operating system with persistent context, behavioral rules, multi-agent delegation, and session compounding. Every session builds on the last.

An operating system.

One command. Then it compounds.

The installer handles everything — your name, your AI agent, your integrations. It installs the CLI and opens your first session.

1

Run the installer

It asks your name, which AI you use, and which services to connect. Then it sets up your repo, installs your AI's CLI, and launches it.

2

Onboard with your AI

Your AI opens automatically and walks you through the rest — communication style, professional context, your first knowledge domain. 5 minutes.

3

Watch it compound

Every session builds on the last. Decisions persist. Context accumulates. Day 30 is dramatically more powerful than day 1.

What's inside

A structured git repo with six layers that your AI navigates automatically.

CLAUDE.md

Context Router

The brain. Lazy-loads only the files relevant to the current session. No token bloat, no preloading.

apps/

6 App Protocols

Goals, health tracking, news digest, daily briefing, error remediation, shared utilities. Add your own.

integrations/

27 Connectors

Google Workspace, Todoist, Home Assistant, QuickBooks, Windmill, and 22 more. Configure only what you need.

knowledge/

Persistent Knowledge

People cards, health data, goals, finance — domain-organized reference data that grows richer over time.

preferences/

Rules & Enforcement

Behavioral rules, delegation policies, session discipline. Not just documented — actually enforced via hooks.

journal/

Session Compounding

Every session ends with a structured log. Next session, your AI knows what you decided and why. No repetition.

100% Open Source

Free forever. No catch.

Contextium is Apache 2.0 licensed. No premium tier. No hosted service. No data collection. Just a git repo of markdown files that you own completely. Fork it, modify it, build on it.

Why this is different

Not a prompt library. Not RAG. Not a vector database. An operating system.

Context Router with Lazy Loading

Your AI doesn't preload your entire life. It reads a trigger table and loads only what's relevant — mention a person, it loads their card. Start a project, it loads the README. Call an API, it loads the integration docs.

Behavioral Enforcement

Rules aren't suggestions — they're enforced. Delegation thresholds, context efficiency, session discipline, credential handling. Hooks catch drift before it happens.

Multi-Agent Delegation

Route research to Gemini. Bulk edits to Codex. Strategy stays with Claude. Each agent gets the right task at the right cost. Your primary AI stays focused.

No Vendor Lock-In

Plain markdown. Git-versioned. No embeddings. No proprietary format. No subscription. Switch AI agents tomorrow and lose nothing. Your data is yours, forever.

Battle-tested in production

This isn't a weekend project. Contextium was refined through months of daily production use before being open-sourced.

Philosophy

Context as infrastructure

Your AI's effectiveness is proportional to its context. Most people treat AI as stateless — prompt, response, forget. Contextium treats context as infrastructure: persistent, structured, version-controlled.

Sessions compound

Every journal entry, every project README, every people card makes the next session richer. This is the flywheel. Day 30 is dramatically more powerful than day 1.

Plain text over platforms

No proprietary formats. No vendor lock-in. No subscription. Just markdown files in a git repo. Your data is yours — human-readable, version-controlled, portable.

Stop starting from zero.

Install Contextium, say "let's onboard," and give your AI the operating system it's been missing.
