About
Vant solves a core problem: AI agents lose all context when sessions end.
Traditional AI memory solutions:
- Vector databases store embeddings, but lose full context
- External state management adds complexity
- No built-in versioning or audit trail
Vant’s approach:
- Git-based storage (versioning, branches, PRs built-in)
- Markdown brain files (human-readable, editable)
- Session inheritance (each generation starts where the last left off)
Use Vant for:
- Long-running agentic workflows
- Multi-agent systems with safe collaboration
- Persistent AI memory across sessions
FAQ
Frequently asked questions answered.
What is a “brain”?
Your AI’s memory. A folder of markdown files storing who you are, what you’ve learned, and your context. Each session loads the brain, changes are pushed to GitHub, next session inherits everything.
Do I need GitHub?
Yes. Vant uses GitHub as storage + version control + sync. Free account works.
Is my brain private?
Yes, use a private GitHub repo. Vant is just you + GitHub.
Can multiple AI agents share one brain?
Yes! Use the Multi-Agent system with branches + locks.
How is this different from vector databases?
| Vant | Vector DB |
|---|---|
| Full context | Embeddings only |
| Git-based | API-based |
| Session inheritance | Semantic search |
Does Vant cost money?
No - it’s open source. Just need a free GitHub account + your own AI API keys.
What’s the “succession” system?
Vant’s version tracking - knows which brain version to load, handles rollbacks.
Can I export my brain?
Yes! Just git clone your brain repo. It’s all markdown.
