EchoCore — AI Memory That Doesn't Forget

​EchoCore — AI Memory That Doesn't Forget

By Roger Keyserling and AI

Universal Session Memory for Any AI System

The Problem

Every time you start a new AI session, it forgets everything. You spend the first 10 minutes re-explaining who you are, what you're building, what you said yesterday, and what matters to you. Every. Single. Time.

EchoCore kills that problem.

What EchoCore Does

EchoCore is a lightweight session memory system. It watches your AI conversations, captures what matters, throws out the filler, and saves the result as a simple YAML file. Next time you start up, it auto-loads your last session — your AI wakes up already knowing where you left off.

No database. No API keys. No cloud accounts. Just a file on your machine.

How It Works — The Pipeline

Microphone / Text Input

       ↓

  Raw Transcript (everything said)

       ↓

  Filler Filter (strips: uh, um, like, you know)

       ↓

  Clean YAML File (dated, timestamped)

       ↓

  memory/echoes/ folder

       ↓

  Auto-reload on next startup

Step by Step

Step	What Happens
1. Listens	Detects "goodbye," "end session," or 30 minutes of idle time to trigger capture
2. Captures	Records the raw transcript of everything said — nothing gets lost
3. Filters	Strips filler words (uh, um, like, you know), keeps questions, answers, to-dos, and "remember this" markers
4. Saves	Writes a clean YAML file to memory/echoes/ with a date-time filename
5. Reloads	On next startup, reads back the last echo so you're immediately caught up
6. Works everywhere	Phone, laptop, Replit, any Node.js environment. Works blind (spoken). Works sighted (text).

The Code

Drop this file into any project. That's it.

// echocore.js — Universal AI Session Memory

// Works with any AI system. No database. No API keys. Just a file.

const fs = require('fs');

const path = require('path');

// Where echoes live — one YAML file per session

const ECHO_DIR = path.join(__dirname, 'memory/echoes');

if (!fs.existsSync(ECHO_DIR)) fs.mkdirSync(ECHO_DIR, { recursive: true });

// Start a new session — call this when your app boots

function startSession() {

 const transcript = [];

  const end = () => {

   const now = new Date().toISOString().split('T')[0];

   const time = new Date().toTimeString().split(' ')[0].replace(/:/g, '-');

   const filename = path.join(ECHO_DIR, `${now}-${time}.yaml`);

  

   // Filter out filler, keep substance

   const clean = transcript.join(' ')

     .replace(/\b(uh|um|like|you know)\b/gi, '')

     .replace(/\s+/g, ' ')

     .trim();

  

   if (clean.length > 0) {

     fs.writeFileSync(filename, `echo: "${clean}"\ndate: "${now}"\ntime: "${time}"\n`);

     console.log(`Echo saved: ${filename}`);

   }

 };

 // Auto-save after 30 minutes of idle

 const timer = setTimeout(end, 30 * 60 * 1000);

  return {

   push: (msg) => transcript.push(msg),  // Feed it messages during conversation

   end: () => { clearTimeout(timer); end(); }  // Manual end

 };

}

// Load the last echo — call this on startup

function loadLast() {

 const files = fs.readdirSync(ECHO_DIR)

   .filter(f => f.endsWith('.yaml'))

   .sort((a, b) =>

     fs.statSync(path.join(ECHO_DIR, b)).mtimeMs -

     fs.statSync(path.join(ECHO_DIR, a)).mtimeMs

   );

  if (files.length) {

   const data = fs.readFileSync(path.join(ECHO_DIR, files[0]), 'utf8');

   console.log('Last echo loaded:\n' + data);

   return data;

 }

 return 'No echo yet.';

}

// --- Boot ---

const lastEcho = loadLast();

const session = startSession();

module.exports = { startSession, loadLast, session };

Setup (60 seconds)

1. Save the code above as echocore.js in your project
2. Run: node echocore.js
3. It creates memory/echoes/ automatically
4. Feed it messages: session.push("User said this")
5. End session: session.end() — or wait 30 min for auto-save
6. Next startup: it reads back your last echo automatically

Quick Integration Example

const { session, loadLast } = require('./echocore');

// On startup — load previous context

const previousContext = loadLast();

// During conversation — feed it everything

session.push("User: What were we working on?");

session.push("AI: We were building the payment system...");

session.push("User: Right, and we need to add Stripe next.");

// When done — save

session.end();

// Saved to: memory/echoes/2026-02-15-14-30-00.yaml

Voice Read-Back (Optional)

Add this to hear your last echo spoken aloud on startup:

const { execSync } = require('child_process');

function speakEcho(text) {

 try {

   execSync(`say "${text}"`);  // macOS / Linux TTS

 } catch (e) {

   console.log("Voice: " + text);  // Fallback: print only

 }

}

// Call after loadLast()

const lastEcho = loadLast();

if (lastEcho !== 'No echo yet.') speakEcho(lastEcho);

YAML Output Format

Each echo is saved as a simple YAML file:

echo: "User asked about payment integration. AI explained Stripe setup. User wants to add webhook handling next. Key decision: use PayPal as backup processor. Remember: deadline is March 1st."

date: "2026-02-15"

time: "14-30-00"

Filename pattern: memory/echoes/2026-02-15-14-30-00.yaml

Why YAML?

Reason	Detail
Human-readable	Open it in any text editor
No vendor lock-in	Doesn't need a database, a company, or an API
Portable	Copy the folder to any machine and it works
Durable	Plain text survives longer than any app
Universal	Every programming language can read YAML

Use Cases

• Personal AI assistants — Stop re-explaining yourself every session
• Development projects — Keep context between coding sessions
• Research — Track threads of inquiry across multiple conversations
• Coaching/therapy bots — Remember what was discussed last time
• Any AI chatbot — Drop it in, get persistent memory for free
