Alma by Olivares AI

Alma by Olivares AI is an advanced AI assistant engineered to solve one of the most persistent frustrations with current AI tools: the complete lack of long-term memory. Unlike standard chatbots that treat every conversation as a fresh start, Alma automatically extracts and retains facts, preferences, and decisions from every interaction, building a continuously evolving understanding of who you are and what you need. This persistent memory means your AI never forgets your preferred writing style, your ongoing projects, or the specific details you shared weeks ago. Beyond memory, Alma introduces a unified workspace that combines background agents, creative studios, and research tools under a single monthly budget. You can set long-running research agents that work for days or weeks, generate images, videos, and music without juggling separate subscriptions, and conduct deep web research that consolidates findings directly into your memory. Alma is built for everyone from casual users who want a smarter conversational partner to creators producing thumbnails and soundtracks, researchers tracking trends, and power users who want to bring their own API keys or connect via MCP. It supports 16 languages, offers voice conversations and voice note transcription, and provides a long-form editor with export to DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, and PDF. With a starting price of just $14 per month and no hidden add-ons, Alma aims to be the single AI tool that truly remembers and works for you. The platform includes a revolutionary Soul Engine v2 that defines identity, worldview, style guide, anti-patterns, and communication modes, creating a complete cognitive framework rather than just a personality prompt. This is the AI assistant that finally remembers you between conversations, your preferences, your tone, and the projects you care about most.

Persistent Memory System

Alma features a complete memory system that goes far beyond a simple vector store. It automatically extracts facts, preferences, and decisions from every conversation and retains them across all interactions. Your AI remembers your preferred writing style, your ongoing projects, and specific details you shared weeks ago. This persistent memory understands context, personality, and learned behavior, ensuring every interaction builds upon the last without requiring you to repeat yourself or manually prompt engineer.

Soul Engine v2

Soul Engine v2 is a revolutionary cognitive framework that defines your AI identity, worldview, style guide, anti-patterns, and communication modes. This is not just a personality prompt but a complete cognitive architecture that shapes how Alma interacts with you. You can define exactly how you want your assistant to behave, what values it should prioritize, and what communication patterns to avoid. This creates a deeply personalized experience that aligns perfectly with your workflow and preferences.

Background Agents

Alma allows you to describe a goal in plain language and the system plans and executes it in the background for hours or even weeks. You can set agents to investigate competitors for 30 days with daily briefs and final reports, watch the web for mentions of your brand and notify you when relevant content appears, or generate weekly status reports from your recent memories. These agents run autonomously on a schedule and report back with structured findings.

Unified Creative Studios

Three creative studios for image, video, and music are bundled into one workspace with a single monthly budget. The Image Studio uses Flux Pro and Leonardo across multiple styles, sizes, and aspect ratios with inpainting, upscaling, and bulk variations. The Video Studio uses Runway Gen-4 and Gen-4.5 for storyboarding, planning, and stitching up to 60 seconds of 1080p video. The Music Studio uses ElevenLabs for studio-grade tracks up to 10 minutes with or without vocals.

Content Creation and Creative Work

Creators can use Alma to generate thumbnails, soundtracks, and short videos without juggling multiple subscriptions. The unified creative studios allow you to produce image assets for social media, video content for marketing campaigns, and background music for projects all from one workspace. Your persistent memory ensures Alma remembers your preferred visual style, color palettes, and music genres, making each creative session more efficient and consistent.

Research and Knowledge Management

Researchers and knowledge workers can leverage Alma for deep web search, trend tracking, and long-form content creation. The system summarizes web research directly into your persistent memory, tracks ongoing topics for trends analysis, and provides a long-form editor with export to PDF, DOCX, and Markdown. You can run multiple research projects simultaneously without contaminating context between them, and Alma remembers your research questions and findings across weeks of investigation.

Personal Productivity and Daily Assistance

Casual users and professionals alike benefit from Alma as a smarter conversational partner that remembers everything. You can have natural chat with persistent context, conduct voice conversations on the move, and transcribe voice notes into structured memories. Alma remembers your schedule, preferences, and ongoing tasks, helping you stay organized without repeating yourself. The system supports 16 languages, making it accessible for multilingual users.

Power User and Developer Workflows

Power users can bring their own provider keys (BYOK) for compatible API providers, connect Alma to their editor over MCP, or hit the API directly. The VS Code extension provides sidebar chat with full memory context. Developers can integrate Alma into their existing workflows, automate research and reporting tasks, and build custom applications on top of the memory and agent systems. This makes Alma suitable for technical teams who need deep integration capabilities.

How does Alma's persistent memory actually work?

Alma automatically extracts facts, preferences, and decisions from every conversation and stores them in a continuously evolving memory system. This is not a simple vector database but a complete contextual understanding that includes your identity, worldview, style guide, and communication patterns. Every interaction automatically updates your memory profile, so Alma always has the right context for each conversation without requiring manual prompt engineering or repeated instructions.

Can I use Alma for image, video, and music generation without separate subscriptions?

Yes, absolutely. Alma bundles three creative studios (Image, Video, and Music) into one workspace with a single monthly budget. There are no add-ons, no separate subscriptions, and no hidden fees. Everything is drawn from the same monthly USD pool. You can generate images with Flux Pro and Leonardo, create videos with Runway Gen-4 and Gen-4.5, and produce music tracks with ElevenLabs, all from the same unified platform.

What makes Alma different from other AI assistants like ChatGPT or Claude?

The fundamental difference is persistent memory. While other AI tools treat every conversation as a fresh start, Alma remembers facts, preferences, and decisions across all interactions. Additionally, Alma provides a unified workspace with background agents, creative studios, and research tools under one budget. The Soul Engine v2 gives you complete control over your AI identity and behavior. Alma is designed to be a single tool that truly remembers and works for you over time.

Is my data safe and can I export it?

Yes, your data is fully exportable. Alma provides tools to export your memories, conversations, and created assets. You have complete control over your data and can cancel anytime. The platform is designed with privacy in mind, and your memory profile is yours to manage, export, or delete as needed. Power users can also bring their own API keys for additional control over their data processing.
