Your Digital Brain is No Longer a Goldfish
Permanent memory, private data, and a 3D view of your work.
The biggest problem with AI has never been intelligence, it's been amnesia. That's starting to change.
Your AI Assistant Finally Got a Memory
Waylight builds a private, on-device brain for everything you do, and it might change how you work.
AI assistants have always been brilliant goldfish, forgetting everything the moment you close the tab. Waylight is aiming to fix this by building a private, on-device memory of your entire digital life. It sees your browser tabs, documents, and meetings, creating a persistent context so you can ask questions about something you saw last week and get an accurate answer.
This isn't just about convenience; it's a fundamental shift towards context-aware AI that doesn't compromise privacy. The real battleground for AI isn't just raw power, but its application to your personal information. By keeping the memory local, Waylight suggests the most valuable data is the data that never leaves your machine, making the AI a tool you own, not one you rent.
The holy grail of a perfect digital memory creates new challenges, like the performance hit from constant background processing. But for anyone drowning in information, this is a powerful proposition. It's a move to make AI less of a generic oracle and more of a genuine partner that understands your world because it lives there with you.

My takeaway
The next wave of software is not about adding more features, but about adding more context.
We're seeing a clear shift from generic, cloud-based tools to highly personalised, on-device assistants that understand our private worlds. Raw AI power is becoming a commodity; the real value is in its application to your specific data. The new moat isn't the model itself, but the private, persistent memory it can access.
This forces us to reconsider our relationship with the tools we use daily. Are they just borrowing our attention, or are they building a lasting, private understanding of our work? The most powerful products will be the ones that feel less like a service and more like an extension of our own minds.
Are we willing to trade the convenience of the cloud for the sovereignty of on-device intelligence?
