Version

Git-Based Memory

Brain files live in Git. Version control built in. Pull changes from previous sessions automatically.

Resolution System

Track thoughts as resolved, deprecated, or rejected. Frontmatter updates directly in brain files.

Multi-Agent Safe

Branches and locks prevent conflicts. Multiple agents can work on the same brain without overwriting each other.

Docker Ready

Official Docker image builds on release tags. Run anywhere. Portable brain survives container restarts.

MCP Server

9 memory tools via JSON-RPC. AI agents read/write brain over HTTP. Standard MCP protocol.

Branching

Experiment with different brain configs. Merge via pull request. Always keep a working main branch.

About Vant

Vant solves a fundamental problem: AI agents lose all context when sessions end. Traditional memory systems require complex databases or external services. Vant uses Git as a simple, reliable foundation.

Why Git? It already handles versioning, branches, conflict resolution, and distributed sync. Every commit is a checkpoint. Every branch is an experiment. Every pull request is a review.

Use Vant for:

The brain is your AI's memory and personality. Vant makes it persistent, portable, and versioned.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a "brain" in Vant?

Your AI's memory. A folder of markdown files storing who you are, what you've learned, and your context. Each session loads the brain, changes are pushed to GitHub, next session inherits everything.

Do I need GitHub?

Yes. Vant uses GitHub as storage + version control + sync. Free account works.

Is my brain private?

Yes, use a private GitHub repo. Vant is just you + GitHub.

Can multiple AI agents share one brain?

Yes! Use branches + locks for safe multi-agent coordination.

How is Vant different from vector databases?

Vant stores full context (not just embeddings), uses Git versioning, and enables session inheritance.

Does Vant cost money?

No - it's open source. Just need a free GitHub account + your own AI API keys.
