Veris Documentation

Your AI forgets everything. Give it a real brain.

$ npm install -g veris-dev

Works with Claude Code · Cursor · Windsurf · Gemini · Codex · OpenClaw · Aider · any MCP client

bash
$ npm install -g veris-dev    # Install globally
$ veris init              # Setup wizard — detects your AIs, configures everything
$ veris watcher start     # Start the background brain daemon
# That's it. Use your AI normally. Veris runs silently.

What is Veris?

Every AI starts from zero. Every session. Every time. You explain the same architecture three times this week — and tomorrow it asks what framework you use.

Veris is a real brain for every AI. Not a vector database. Not RAG. Not a markdown file you manually maintain. It's 124+ neuroscience mechanisms — how the human brain stores, retrieves, connects, and strengthens memories — translated into 24,700+ lines of TypeScript.

The AI you use (Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini — any of them) is just the mouth. It produces words. The brain behind it? That's Veris. Same personality, same memories, same knowledge — no matter which AI you talk through. Switch tools mid-project. Veris doesn't care. It knows you.
