I kept forgetting important stuff in my daily life, so I built an AI second brain called AMP to fix it
Hello,
I’ve been building something called AMP.
It’s a small AI “second brain” that helps you remember everyday things — so you don’t have to rely on notes, memory, or a bunch of random apps everywhere.
Right now I mostly use it for stuff like:
“My passport is in the top drawer”
“Daniel owes me $20”
“Remind me to buy eggs tomorrow”
Then later I can just ask:
“Where’s my passport?”
“What do I need to buy?”
“What do I know about Daniel?”
and it pulls it back instantly.
Nothing fancy honestly — just trying to solve my own problem of forgetting things and having too many apps open.
It’s still early and I’m mainly looking for honest feedback:
- does this make sense immediately?
- would you actually use something like this?
- what feels confusing or unnecessary?
If you want to try it: https://amplyai.org
Appreciate any feedback (good or bad helps a lot)
Thanks!

This makes sense immediately — the core idea is basically “structured memory you can query later,” which is a real pain point.
What stands out is that the value isn’t in storing notes, but in retrieval through natural questions. That’s the part that actually feels different from normal note apps or reminders.
The biggest risk I see is trust + correctness. For something like “where is my passport” or “who owes me money,” users will only adopt it if they’re fully confident nothing gets lost or misremembered. Memory systems have zero tolerance for ambiguity.
Also, it may help to be very clear about boundaries — is it just a personal memory layer, or does it also act like a task/reminder system? Those tend to blur, and that’s where users get confused.
But conceptually, the direction is strong: turning scattered notes into a queryable personal context layer is something a lot of people already try to hack together manually.
The core use case is immediately clear and that's a real advantage — most people have had that exact moment of 'wait, where did I put my passport?' Your examples make the value obvious without needing to explain anything.
The question I'd have from a user perspective: what does the capture flow look like? The hardest part of personal memory tools is getting people to actually log things in the moment they happen. A home screen widget or voice shortcut that makes adding a fact feel like near-zero friction could be the difference between daily use and 'I'll add stuff later' (which tends to become never).
Would be curious to hear how your early testers are using the capture side — that's usually where the real behavior patterns show up.
One thing I'd be careful with:
The interesting question may not be whether AMP remembers things accurately.
It may be what users are actually trusting it to remember on their behalf.
That sounds subtle, but it can quietly shape what gets stored, what feels valuable, and what makes someone keep using it over time.
I wouldn't make that call casually this early.
