The Architecture

The bridge nobody else has built.

selfActual connects two things that were never designed to talk to each other: personal data you actually own, and the AI agents you use every day.

Your vault

Your data lives in a Solid pod — a personal data store built on a W3C open standard. WebID identity. Pod-level access control. You hold the keys, cryptographically.

The bridge

AI agents read from your vault through MCP — the open protocol for connecting AI to outside data. Our server is live at mcp.selfactual.ai: 25+ tools, 9 resources. It reads from your vault but never keeps a copy.

Works everywhere

Start in Claude. Continue in ChatGPT. Close in Gemini. Because it’s built on open protocols, your self-knowledge isn’t locked to one provider. It travels with you.

Three surfaces already read from the same vault: Imprint, Atlas, and Claude Code. If selfActual ever disappears, your data persists.

Open standards. No lock-in.
