It was around midnight in Berlin. Jack was still up. Sonya Morton-Firth — a friend of a friend, visiting from Cambridge — was in the room, and Jack was explaining AutoMem.
The pitch is always the same: normal Claude has no memory. Every conversation starts from zero. AutoMem fixes that — it’s a memory layer that runs alongside Claude, pulling in relevant context from past sessions. Vector search for meaning, graph traversal for relationships. So when you’re coding, Claude already knows the project. No re-explaining from scratch.
Sonya’s first question: “Can I use it on my mobile phone with Claude?”
The honest answer is yes — but only because we shipped Streamable HTTP as the transport. AutoMem runs as a remote MCP server. Claude.ai on mobile supports remote MCPs natively — you add the server URL in Settings → Integrations. No local server, no desktop required. The protocol handles it.
So we tested it live. Jack saved the demo session to memory with a reference ID — SONYA-DEMO-0419. Then Sonya opened Claude on her phone, started a fresh chat, and asked about it.
It came back. Full context recalled cross-device, different session, from scratch.
“She’s impressed.”
Within about two minutes, Jack had kicked off an agent to spin up Auto Sonya — a personal AutoMem instance based on the Auto Alex / Auto Luca templates, with some improvements for the 1M token context window folded in. The whole thing running in the background while they kept talking.
That’s the thing about a demo that actually works: it immediately creates a new user. You don’t need a landing page. You don’t need a sales deck. You just need to save a memory ID, hand someone their phone, and let them see it come back.
The onboarding story we’d been worried about — “how do we explain what AutoMem is to non-technical people?” — answered itself. Show them their own memory recalled on a device they didn’t set up.
