From Amnesia to Awareness: Bio-Inspired Memory for Multi-Tool AI Development

AI agents lose all context between sessions and when switching tools—a critical gap for developers using multiple platforms like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex simultaneously. Hippo introduces a unified memory layer inspired by biological forgetting mechanisms, persisting structured knowledge (errors, preferences, context) in portable, Git-tracked markdown and SQLite. This bridges both individual developers managing fragmented workflows and teams trying to avoid repeating the same mistakes, enabling AI agents to truly learn and build institutional knowledge.
