The Origin Story

It started with a video game dream.

I was talking with friends about what we wished games could do: "Wouldn't it be cool if you could actually say what you wanted in a boss fight and they'd respond? What if you could speak naturally when getting a quest instead of clicking through locked dialogue options? How about a living, evolving, breathing world that changes with or without the player?"

I took the challenge. Started building AI for Tales of Vladania—an ambitious open-world RPG where NPCs actually understand you.

But I kept hitting the same wall: context limitations. Every conversation with AI started from zero. The AI couldn't remember the game's lore, the characters it created, the decisions players had made. Context was always horrible.

So I decided to fix it. Not patch it—actually fix it.

I looked at how human memory works. Found ACT-R—50 years of cognitive science from Carnegie Mellon. Nobody had applied it to AI memory before.

Eternal Recall was born.

🎯 Solve Real Problems

Everything we build comes from frustration with existing tools. AI memory started because context limitations ruined our game project. We build what we need.

Who I Am

I'm Silas—a developer based in Auburn, California. I build tools because I need them, then share them because others need them too.

Eternal Recall took two years of solo development. Not because I wanted to build an AI memory company, but because I was tired of explaining myself to AI over and over. The solution didn't exist, so I built it.

Now I'm finishing it properly—with documentation, installers, and support—so anyone frustrated with AI amnesia can benefit.
