Alma by Olivares AI

Alma by Olivares AI is a revolutionary AI assistant designed to eliminate the single most persistent frustration with current AI tools: the complete lack of long-term memory. Unlike standard chatbots that treat every conversation as a fresh start, Alma automatically extracts and retains facts, preferences, and decisions from every interaction, building a continuously evolving understanding of 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 its groundbreaking memory system, 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, transforming how you interact with artificial intelligence on a daily basis.

Persistent Memory System

Alma automatically extracts facts, preferences, and decisions from every conversation, building a continuously evolving understanding of your identity and needs. Your AI remembers your preferred writing style, ongoing projects, and specific details shared weeks ago, eliminating the need to repeat yourself or rebuild context with every new interaction. This memory persists across all conversations, making Alma feel like a true partner that knows you intimately.

Background Agents

Describe a goal in plain language and Alma plans, executes, and runs in the background for hours or even weeks, reporting back with comprehensive results. You can instruct Alma to investigate a competitor for 30 days with daily briefs and a final report, watch the web for mentions of your brand and notify you when relevant content appears, or generate a status report from your recent memories every Monday at 8am automatically.

Unified Creative Studios

Three creative studios for image, video, and music generation exist in one workspace, all drawn from a single monthly budget with no add-ons or separate subscriptions. The Image Studio uses Flux Pro and Leonardo across styles, sizes, and aspect ratios with inpainting and upscaling. The Video Studio leverages Runway Gen-4 and Gen-4.5 for up to 60 seconds of 1080p video. The Music Studio produces ElevenLabs studio-grade tracks up to 10 minutes.

Soul Engine v2

Define Alma's identity, worldview, style guide, anti-patterns, and communication modes to create a complete cognitive framework, not just a personality prompt. This feature allows you to shape how Alma thinks, communicates, and approaches problems, ensuring consistent alignment with your values and preferences across every interaction and project.

For Creators Producing Multimedia Content

Creators can use Alma to generate thumbnails, soundtracks, and short videos from a single workspace without juggling multiple subscriptions. The unified monthly budget covers image generation with Flux Pro, video creation with Runway Gen-4, and music production with ElevenLabs, all accessible from the same chat interface. This streamlines the creative workflow and reduces costs significantly.

For Researchers Tracking Trends and Competitors

Researchers can set background agents to monitor specific topics, competitors, or industry trends over extended periods. Alma runs these agents in the background, consolidating findings directly into its persistent memory. This allows researchers to receive daily briefs, weekly summaries, or final reports without manual effort, keeping them informed and ahead of market movements.

For Power Users Integrating with Existing Tools

Power users can bring their own provider keys (BYOK) to Alma, connect it to their editor over MCP, or hit the API directly. The VS Code extension with sidebar chat enables seamless integration into development workflows. This flexibility allows technical users to leverage Alma's memory and agent capabilities within their existing toolchains and custom applications.

For Casual Users Seeking a Smarter Conversational Partner

Casual users benefit from natural chat with persistent context, voice conversations on the move, and voice notes transcribed into structured memories. Alma remembers preferences, tone, and past discussions, making every interaction feel personal and coherent. The 16 language support and long-form editor with document export further enhance everyday productivity and communication.

How does Alma's persistent memory actually work?

Alma automatically extracts facts, preferences, and decisions from every conversation you have. These memories are stored and continuously updated, building a comprehensive profile of your identity, style, and ongoing projects. When you start a new conversation, Alma assembles the right context from your memory automatically, eliminating the need for manual prompt engineering or repeating yourself. The memory system is not just a vector store but a complete cognitive framework that understands context, personality, and learned behavior.

What is included in the monthly budget for creative studios?

The single monthly budget covers all three creative studios: Image Studio (Flux Pro and Leonardo for image generation, inpainting, upscaling, and variations), Video Studio (Runway Gen-4 and Gen-4.5 for up to 60 seconds of 1080p video with storyboarding and avatars on Pro plans), and Music Studio (ElevenLabs studio-grade tracks up to 10 minutes with or without vocals). There are no per-feature add-ons or separate subscriptions. You only top up when you exhaust your monthly allocation.

Can I use Alma with my own API keys and existing tools?

Yes, power users on the Max plan can bring their own provider keys (BYOK) for compatible AI providers, connect Alma to any MCP-aware client via its MCP server, and use the VS Code extension with sidebar chat for integrated development workflows. You can also hit the API directly for custom integrations. This flexibility allows you to leverage Alma's memory and agent capabilities within your existing toolchains and applications.

Is my data private and exportable from Alma?

Yes, your data is yours and fully exportable. Alma allows you to export all your memories, conversations, and generated content at any time. The platform is designed with privacy in mind, and you maintain control over your information. You can cancel your subscription at any time without losing access to your data, ensuring you always retain ownership of everything you create and store within Alma.
