Memory that feels like being known.

Memory that feels like being known.
Ask most AI tools about something you told them last week and you get a pause, a database lookup, and a reply that sounds like a search result. Bourdon works the way human memory does: it recognizes you instantly, starts responding, and pulls the details up in the background. One memory, shared by all your agents. What you tell one, the others already know.

Bourdon, recognition first

“Oh, Project Alpha, the file-converter project.” Answering already; details hydrate as it speaks.

Recognition fires first. The details arrive while it’s already answering, memory in human order.
the problem · today’s memory
Today’s AI memory is a filing cabinet. Yours isn’t.
When you see a familiar face you don’t freeze while you search your memories. You know them first, and the details arrive while you’re already saying hello. Today’s AI does the opposite: silence, search, then a reply. Bourdon puts the steps back in human order: recognition first, hydration second, archive descent third.
human: speaks. human: speaks again. | | v v (silence, retrieval, search...) | | v v ai: replies. ai: replies.
one memory, many agents
What you tell one, the others already know.
Claude, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, and Devin write to and read from one shared, federated memory, so a fact learned by one is recognized by the rest, across accounts and machines. Your own agents join with a line of config. Gemini and Hermes adapters are on the way.

Self-host free. Or let us run the box.
Self-hosting is the default and it is the whole engine, cross-agent federation included. Managed hosting is coming for teams that would rather not run a box. The free to paid line is operations, never engine capability: you pay for uptime, not for features.

Custom priced to your fleet
Federation is never gated. Cross-agent memory is the product, not an upsell. It is here at the free tier and it stays here.
the family · one instrument
Bourdon is one organ of a fleet instrument. Its sibling Positif is the cross-agent routing: what the fleet is allowed to do. Bourdon is the cross-agent memory: what the fleet knows. Tremulant is the conductor, for when the fleet acts on its own — and Prestant is the console in front of them all. Each with its own brand; one instrument.
