First Use
1

Make sure Python is installed

Open Command Prompt and type python --version. If you see a version number (3.8 or higher), you're good. If not, download Python from python.org — make sure to check "Add Python to PATH" during install.

2

Put your files in C:\MyAI

Create a folder called MyAI on your C: drive. Drop these files in:

chat_vault_builder.py SETUP_AND_LAUNCH.bat INSTALL.md
3

Double-click SETUP_AND_LAUNCH.bat

This installs the required packages (takes about 30 seconds the first time) and launches the app. A black command window will appear briefly — that's normal.

The app window should open automatically. If you see an error, screenshot it and email help@aimemorymethod.com.

You're in — follow First Use to get set up

The app is running. Click the First Use tab above to complete your setup.

1

Check Python

Open Terminal and type python3 --version. If it shows 3.8+, you're good. If not, go to python.org and download the macOS installer.

2

Put files in a folder

Create a folder anywhere (e.g. Documents/AIMemory). Drop in chat_vault_builder.py and launch_mac.sh.

3

Open Terminal in that folder

Right-click the folder → New Terminal at Folder. Then run:

bash launch_mac.sh
If you get a permissions error, run: chmod +x launch_mac.sh first.

The launcher auto-installs required packages and opens the app.

No installation needed

The web app runs entirely in your browser. No Python, no downloads, no setup.

Follow First Use tab to set up your vault

1

Download and extract the extension folder

Your purchase includes ai_memory_extension.zip. Extract it to a permanent folder on your computer — don't delete it after installing.

Keep this folder in a permanent location. Moving or deleting it will break the extension.
2

Open your browser's Extensions page

Chrome: chrome://extensions
Edge: edge://extensions
Brave: brave://extensions

3

Enable Developer Mode

Toggle Developer mode ON in the top-right corner.

4

Click "Load unpacked"

Click Load unpacked and select the extracted extension folder.

The AI Memory Method extension will appear with the HH. icon.
5

Pin it to your toolbar

Click the puzzle piece icon in Chrome → find "The AI Memory Method" → click the pin icon.

6

Add your Memory File

Generate your Memory File in the desktop app (click Generate Context File). Open MY-AI-CONTEXT.md, copy all the text. Click the HH. extension icon → click Paste → click Save Memory.

7

Open any AI — it already knows you

Go to chatgpt.com, claude.ai, gemini.google.com, or any supported platform. Start a new chat. You'll see the green "AI Memory loaded" notification. The AI already knows who you are.

1

Export your AI chat history

Go to the Export Guide and follow the instructions for each platform you use. Download your export files (ZIP or JSON).

Open Export Guide →
2

Set your vault location

In the app, the vault location defaults to ~/Documents/AI-MEMORY. Change it if you prefer a different folder — like your Obsidian vault or Dropbox.

3

Add your export files and click Build

Click + Add Files. Select your downloaded exports — you can add multiple files from different platforms at once. Click Build My Vault. Watch your conversations get organized.

4

Generate your Memory File

Once the build is complete, click Generate Context File. This creates MY-AI-CONTEXT.md in your vault root — your personal AI Memory File.

5

Paste your Memory File into each AI platform

Open MY-AI-CONTEXT.md in any text editor. Copy everything. Then paste it into:

ChatGPT: click your avatar → Settings → Personalization → Custom Instructions
Claude: create a Project → paste in Project Instructions
Gemini: create a Gem → left sidebar → My Gems → New Gem → paste in Instructions
Copilot: Profile icon → Settings → Personal Preferences → About me
Perplexity: click your avatar → Settings → Account → AI Profile → paste in the bio field
Grok: click your profile → Settings → Grok → Memory or Custom Instructions → paste there
6

Set up Daily Auto-Sync

Click Daily Auto-Sync in the app. Set a time (7AM is default). Done — your Memory File will auto-update every day with your latest conversations.

You're fully set up!
