About · the people and the engine

A memory of where, from two cities.

Wherebase is a hosted spatial memory for AI agents: a database of what was where, when, that any camera can fill and any AI can ask over MCP. It is an independent project, not a venture-funded company, built in public since 2026.

Who

Wherebase is made by Zygmunt Dyras, an engineer working between Austin, Texas and Kraków, Poland. The project started as a question about assistive technology: could a pendant with a camera tell someone who cannot see where they left their cup? Answering it well needed a memory that keeps place and time together, and that memory turned out to be useful to every assistant and every robot.

The engine: LOCI

LOCI is the engine under Wherebase: a memory that stores where and when together, ages old sightings into summaries without losing them, and knows when something is new. It runs as a Python library and as a service at the edge. The source is private for now and available on request to partners, researchers and customers who want to run it themselves: write to hello@wherebase.io. An open-source reference implementation, free to use, is in progress and will be announced here. Wherebase is the hosted, account-based layer on top: sign-in, keys, OAuth for Claude and ChatGPT, phone capture and the pendant firmware.

What we believe

Memory should outlive the model. Assistants change every month; where your keys were should not reset when they do.
Store sightings, not images. Labels, positions and times are enough to answer where, what changed and what is usual, and they are far less to lose.
One layer for every device. A phone, a pendant, a fixed camera and a robot should write to the same memory with the same API.
