What do you want to learn today?
Plain-English explainers on the ideas behind BrainTube — memory, retrieval, MCP, and the AI tooling around them.
What is MCP (Model Context Protocol)?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets Claude, Cursor and other AI clients use your tools and data through one interface.
Semantic search vs keyword search
Why "vibes-based" search returns things keyword search misses — and where it still loses.
A searchable knowledge base for operators
A searchable knowledge base for operators: what changes when your notes, videos and PDFs are searchable from inside Claude, Cursor and the other tools you already work in.
RAG in 90 seconds
Retrieval-Augmented Generation, demystified for non-engineers.
Treating YouTube as a knowledge source
Transcripts, chapter detection, and entity extraction turn videos into searchable documents.
Why AI memory should be portable
Lock-in is the default. Portability is a design choice.
What Is an AI Memory Layer?
The persistent store of knowledge and context that lives outside any single AI chat — so every AI can read the same memory.
What Is an MCP Memory Server?
An MCP server that gives AI assistants read (and sometimes write) access to a persistent knowledge base.
Persistent Memory vs the Context Window: Why Your AI Forgets
The context window is temporary working memory. Persistent memory survives across sessions and tools.
How to Chat With Your YouTube Videos and Podcasts Using AI
How to make YouTube videos and podcasts searchable and chattable — the three approaches, honest trade-offs, and a step-by-step for the MCP path.
How to Give Your AI Persistent Memory Across Every Tool You Use
How to give your AI persistent memory that works across every tool you use — the four options ranked, honest setup, and how to keep your data portable.
One Memory Across ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor
Keep the same context across Claude, Cursor and Gemini CLI (ChatGPT support in testing): one knowledge base over MCP, so every assistant reads what you saved. Free tier included.
