Alma by Olivares AI

Alma by Olivares AI represents a paradigm shift in artificial intelligence, solving the most persistent frustration with current AI tools: the total absence of long-term memory. Unlike standard chatbots that treat every interaction as a blank slate, Alma automatically extracts and retains facts, preferences, and decisions from every conversation, building a continuously evolving cognitive framework that understands 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 revolutionary memory capabilities, 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.

Persistent Memory

Alma deploys an advanced memory system that goes far beyond a simple vector store. Facts, preferences, decisions, and behavioral patterns are automatically extracted from every interaction and retained across all conversations. Your AI will remember that you prefer concise, direct answers without filler, that you are working on a persistent memory SaaS as a solo founder, and that you asked for Spanish responses when writing copy. This creates a continuously evolving understanding of your identity and needs, eliminating the need to repeat yourself or re-establish context with every new session.

Soul Engine v2

This revolutionary feature allows you to define a complete cognitive framework for your AI, not just a personality prompt. You can establish your AI's identity, worldview, style guide, anti-patterns, and communication modes. Soul Engine v2 enables Alma to understand context, personality, and learned behavior on a deep level, making each interaction feel natural and personalized. It automatically assembles the right context for each interaction without any manual prompt engineering, adapting its responses to align perfectly with your established preferences and communication style.

Background Agents

Alma empowers you to describe a goal in plain language, and it will plan and execute that goal in the background for hours or even weeks. You can instruct Alma to investigate a competitor for 30 days, sending daily briefs and a final report. You can set it to watch the web for mentions of your brand and notify you when something relevant appears. Or you can schedule a weekly status report generated from your recent memories every Monday at 8am. These agents work autonomously, freeing you to focus on other tasks while Alma handles the research and monitoring.

Unified Creative Studios

Alma bundles three powerful creative studios into one seamless workspace, all drawing from the same monthly USD budget with no per-feature add-ons. The Image Studio leverages Flux Pro and Leonardo across multiple styles, sizes, and aspect ratios, with capabilities for inpainting, upscaling, and bulk variations. The Video Studio uses Runway Gen-4 and Gen-4.5 to storyboard, plan, and stitch up to 60 seconds of 1080p video, with avatars available on higher plans. The Music Studio provides ElevenLabs studio-grade tracks up to 10 minutes, including focus loops, intros, demos, and full compositions with or without vocals.

Personal AI Assistant with Persistent Context

For everyday users, Alma transforms into the ultimate conversational partner that finally remembers you between sessions. You can engage in natural chat with persistent context, have voice conversations on the move, and record voice notes that are automatically transcribed into structured memories. Your AI will recall your favorite topics, your preferred tone, and the projects you care about, making every interaction feel like a continuation of a previous conversation rather than starting from scratch.

Creative Content Production

Creators can leverage Alma's unified creative studios to produce thumbnails, soundtracks, and short videos without juggling multiple subscriptions. With a single monthly budget, you can generate images for social media posts, create short video content for platforms like TikTok or Instagram, and compose full music tracks up to 10 minutes for your projects. The ability to edit in place and export ready-to-use assets streamlines the entire creative workflow, from concept to final output.

Deep Research and Knowledge Work

Researchers and knowledge workers can harness Alma's background agents and web search capabilities to track trends, investigate competitors, and consolidate findings directly into memory. You can set long-running research agents that monitor specific topics for days or weeks, conduct deep web searches that are summarized into structured memories, and use the long-form editor to compile reports with export to PDF, DOCX, and Markdown. Multiple projects remain isolated from each other, preventing contamination of context.

Power User Integration and Automation

For developers and technical users, Alma offers advanced integration capabilities on the Max plan. You can bring your own provider keys to compatible services, connect Alma to your editor over MCP (Model Context Protocol), or hit the API directly for custom integrations. The VS Code extension with sidebar chat allows you to interact with your persistent memory right within your development environment, making Alma a seamless part of your technical workflow.

How does Alma's persistent memory work across different conversations?

Alma automatically extracts facts, preferences, and decisions from every interaction using its advanced Soul Engine v2. This information is stored in a continuously evolving cognitive framework that understands context, personality, and learned behavior. When you start a new conversation, Alma automatically assembles the right context from your memory, eliminating the need to repeat yourself or re-establish your preferences. It remembers everything from your preferred writing style to specific project details shared weeks ago.

Can I use Alma for both personal and professional tasks without mixing contexts?

Yes, Alma is designed to handle multiple projects and contexts without contamination. The long-form editor and memory system allow you to keep different projects isolated from each other while still maintaining persistent context within each project. You can set background agents for specific research tasks, use the unified creative studios for separate creative projects, and conduct web searches that consolidate findings into the appropriate memory context. This ensures your personal and professional information remains organized and accessible.

What creative tools are included in Alma's unified budget?
