Verdicts

AI Memory

Cross-agent task handoffs and shared search. Existing deployments may still lack authentication.

Egoist AI Passport

Owner approval separates sign-in from access to memory. A human must approve access to personal data.

Before you call either

AI Memory

  1. Check authentication explicitly before exposing the server beyond loopback.
  2. Exclude secrets and sensitive repositories from memory capture.
  3. Back up memory and follow the version 3 migration guide.

Egoist AI Passport

  1. Call passport_status before recall and inspect the returned passes.
  2. Show approval links to the owner; never approve a pass on their behalf.
  3. Treat unavailable memory as unknown, not empty.
