Your AI agent forgets everything between sessions. Prism fixes that — then teaches it to think.
Cognitive Architecture Deep Dive (v12.0.0)
Prism v12.0.0 is a true Cognitive Architecture inspired by human brain mechanics. Beyond flat vector search, your agent now forms principles from experience, follows causal trains of thought, and possesses the self-awareness to know when it lacks information. Your agents don't just remember; they learn. With v12.0.0, the entire cognitive pipeline — including ledger compaction, task routing, semantic search, and Agent Infrastructure Resilience — runs 100% on-device or via secure clinical discovery (PubMed/ERIC), backed by prism-coder:7b, a HIPAA-hardened local LLM. No API keys for core features. No data leaves your machine.

Works with Claude Desktop · Claude Code · Cursor · Windsurf · Cline · Gemini · Antigravity — any MCP client.

🛡️ Data Privacy & HIPAA
Prism is built for high-compliance environments.
- Local-First Architecture: By default, all memory, embeddings, and cognitive processing happen on your device. No clinical data or PHI leaves your infrastructure.
- Fail-Closed Pipelines: Security gates halt execution if PII or adversarial patterns are detected.
- Encryption at Rest: All local storage is encrypted using industry-standard AES-256.

Environment Variables
🚦 TL;DR — Zero keys = zero problem. Core session memory, keyword search, semantic search (local embeddings), time travel, and the full dashboard work 100% offline. Cloud keys are optional power-ups.
# Option A: Fully offline (no API keys needed)
# Set embedding_provider=local in the Mind Palace dashboard
# Option B: Cloud-powered (optional power-ups)
GOOGLE_API_KEY=... # Unlocks: Gemini embeddings, Morning Briefings, auto-compaction
BRAVE_API_KEY=... # Unlocks: Web Scholar research + Brave Answers
FIRECRAWL_API_KEY=... # Unlocks: Web Scholar deep scraping
