FAQ

How does Glia handle data privacy compared to cloud-based AI memory?

Glia utilizes a local database memory system, meaning your data stays on your machine rather than being uploaded to a third-party cloud. This approach is designed for developers who need persistent context for their AI coding agents but want to maintain control over their project data and avoid the privacy risks associated with external storage or subscription-based cloud services.

Which AI assistants can I use with Glia's persistent memory?

Glia is designed to work with a variety of popular AI tools, including browser-based assistants like ChatGPT and Claude, as well as specialized coding environments like Cursor and Windsurf. By providing a shared memory layer, it allows these different agents to access the same persistent information, ensuring a more cohesive experience when switching between different AI development platforms or chat interfaces.
