Alma by Olivares AI

Alma by Olivares AI is a next-generation AI assistant that finally solves the biggest frustration with standard chatbots: they forget everything the moment you close a conversation. Alma changes this completely by automatically extracting facts, preferences, and decisions from every single interaction. It builds 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. It 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. Beyond memory, 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 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. It is fast, lightning-quick, and built for speed and efficiency from the ground up.

Persistent Memory

Alma automatically extracts facts, preferences, and decisions from every conversation you have. It retains this information across all future interactions, so your AI never forgets your preferred writing style, your ongoing projects, or the specific details you shared weeks ago. This is not a simple chat log. It is a structured, continuously evolving understanding of you. For example, if you tell Alma you prefer concise, direct answers without filler, it applies that preference to every future response. If you mention you are a solo founder working on a persistent memory SaaS, Alma remembers that context for all relevant conversations. This eliminates the need for manual prompt engineering or repeating yourself every time you start a new chat.

Background Agents

Describe a goal in plain language and Alma plans and executes it in the background for hours or even weeks. You can set agents to investigate a competitor for 30 days, sending a daily brief and a final report. You can ask Alma to watch the web for mentions of your brand and notify you when something relevant appears. You can schedule a weekly status report that Alma generates from your recent memories every Monday at 8am. These agents run autonomously, freeing you to focus on higher-value work. They report back with structured summaries that are automatically integrated into your persistent memory.

Creative Studios

Alma bundles three creative studios into a single workspace: Image Studio, Video Studio, and Music Studio. All three are drawn from the same monthly USD budget with no add-ons or separate subscriptions. Image Studio uses Flux Pro and Leonardo across styles, sizes, and aspect ratios. You can inpaint, upscale, and generate bulk variations from a single prompt. Video Studio uses Runway Gen-4 and Gen-4.5 to storyboard, plan, and stitch up to 60 seconds of 1080p video. Music Studio uses ElevenLabs to generate studio-grade tracks up to 10 minutes, including focus loops, intros, and demos with or without vocals. You generate from a chat prompt, edit in place, and export ready-to-use assets.

Soul Engine v2

This is a complete cognitive framework, not just a personality prompt. Soul Engine v2 lets you define identity, worldview, style guide, anti-patterns, and communication modes. You can specify exactly how Alma should think, write, and respond. You can set a writing style that emphasizes speed and efficiency. You can define anti-patterns that Alma should avoid, such as using filler words or being overly verbose. You can create different communication modes for different contexts, like a formal mode for client reports and a casual mode for internal notes. This gives you precise control over Alma's behavior without any manual prompt engineering.

For Content Creators

Alma is a powerhouse for creators who need to produce thumbnails, soundtracks, and short videos without juggling multiple subscriptions. You can generate an image for a YouTube thumbnail, a short video for social media, and a background music track for your podcast intro, all from the same chat prompt and all drawn from your single monthly budget. Alma remembers your preferred visual style, your brand colors, and your typical music tempo. You can iterate quickly, exporting ready-to-use assets directly from the workspace. The long-form editor lets you write scripts and export them as DOCX or PDF.

For Research and Knowledge Workers

Researchers and analysts can set background agents to track trends, monitor competitors, or investigate specific topics over days or weeks. Alma consolidates web search results directly into your persistent memory, so you never lose a finding. You can run multiple research projects simultaneously without contaminating context between them. The long-form editor lets you compile findings into reports and export them as PDF, DOCX, or Markdown. Alma's memory ensures that every piece of research builds on previous work, creating a continuously evolving knowledge base that is always accessible.

For Power Users and Developers

Power users can bring their own provider keys (BYOK) for compatible models, connect Alma to their editor over MCP, or hit the API directly. The VS Code extension provides sidebar chat with full memory and context. You can automate workflows by integrating Alma with your existing tools. The MCP server works with any MCP-aware client, giving you granular control over how Alma interacts with your development environment. This is ideal for developers who want a persistent AI assistant that understands their codebase, their preferences, and their project history.

For Everyday Productivity

Casual users benefit from Alma's persistent memory in everyday conversations. You can have voice conversations on the move, and Alma transcribes voice notes into structured memories that it retains for future reference. You can ask Alma to remember your travel preferences, your dietary restrictions, or your meeting notes. Alma supports 16 languages, so you can switch between languages seamlessly. The assistant always knows your preferred communication style, your ongoing projects, and the details you shared weeks ago. This makes Alma a genuinely helpful daily companion that saves you time and reduces repetition.

How does Alma's persistent memory work?

Alma automatically extracts facts, preferences, and decisions from every conversation you have. It stores this information in a structured memory that is continuously updated and refined. When you start a new conversation, Alma assembles the right context from your memory to provide relevant and personalized responses. You do not need to manually save anything or repeat yourself. The memory is persistent across all devices and sessions. You can also export your data at any time.

Can I use Alma for image, video, and music generation?

What are background agents and how do I use them?

Background agents are autonomous tasks that Alma runs in the background for hours or even weeks. You describe a goal in plain language, and Alma plans and executes it. For example, you can set an agent to investigate a competitor for 30 days, sending a daily brief and a final report. You can set an agent to watch the web for mentions of your brand.

Is my data secure and can I export it?

Yes. Alma takes data security seriously. Your data is exportable at any time. You have full control over your memory and can delete specific memories or your entire account. Alma uses encryption for data in transit and at rest. The platform is designed for privacy, and your data is not used to train models without your explicit consent. You can also bring your own API keys on the Max plan for additional control over your data.
