Frequently asked questions

Anant is an AI assistant with persistent cognitive memory. Unlike ChatGPT or Claude which store basic preferences (‘user likes Python’), Anant builds a knowledge graph of your life - people, relationships, emotions, events, all connected. It’s modeled after how the human brain processes and stores experiences, based on neuroscience research from Tulving, McClelland, and Ebbinghaus.

ChatGPT’s memory stores flat facts: ‘user is a developer’, ‘user lives in Delhi.’ Anant builds a graph: it knows your sister Kavita is a doctor at Hinduja Hospital in Mumbai, that you were stressed last week because of a project deadline AND your grandfather’s surgery, and that your colleague Raj might know Priya because they went to the same college. It tracks how facts change over time, links emotions to causes, and gets smarter about you through daily Memory Dream cycles.

English, Hindi, and Hinglish (mixed Hindi-English). Anant handles code-switching natively - you can say ‘पापा दिल्ली में हैं’ in one message and ‘my father is retired’ in another, and it knows they’re the same person. Keyword retrieval uses dual tokenization (English + Simple) to search across scripts.

Inspired by how your brain consolidates memories during sleep (Complementary Learning Systems theory), Memory Dreams are a daily processing cycle. Anant reviews what it learned, merges related memories, discovers connections nobody explicitly stated, applies confidence decay to old unmentioned facts, detects gaps in your profile, and generates natural follow-up questions. It’s how Anant gets smarter about you over time without you doing anything.

Your memory graph is isolated to your account. Anant runs on sovereign infrastructure - no data leaves the deployment environment. Prompt injection attempts are blocked at both the conversation level and the extraction level. The system has been tested against identity override, system prompt extraction, memory injection, cross-user data theft, and jailbreak attacks.
