Inceptions, as a service.
For your agents.

// a minute can hold an entire nightmare

In one minute… a lot can happen.

Even the worst, fatal nightmares — an entire conversation lost to a context-window reset. Every fix, every preference, every name, every path you mentioned three weeks ago: gone in the time it takes you to refill a coffee.

Mazemaker fixes that. Plug it in, and your agent gets a brain that…

• 01
  Remembers what you tell it. Preferences, decisions, fixes, the path of that file you mentioned three weeks ago.
• 02
  Connects related ideas. Like a real notebook with cross-references, not a search box.
• 03
  Reflects while you sleep. Overnight, it strengthens what matters and notices new connections.
• 04
  Updates itself when you change your mind. Old facts get superseded, not duplicated.

That’s it — the rest of this page goes deeper the further you scroll. · Don’t want to install anything? A managed hosted endpoint runs at v2.mazemaker.dev — sign up, point your agent at the MCP endpoint, done.

The Numbers That Matter

Every row comes from the v8 audit benchmark summary, with controls that must fail when the mechanism is removed.

The Engine Inside

One core, three integration shapes: Hermes plugin, MCP server, standalone library.

remember -> embed -> SQLite INSERT -> cosine kNN -> connections

query -> FastEmbed -> GPU/CPU cosine -> RRF fusion -> ranked memory

source memory -> graph walk -> decay -> activation trace

new fact -> entity + semantic overlap -> supersede -> history

Benchmark-Driven Defaults

Embedding Backends Auto-Priority

The Backend Stack

One rootless Podman pod, four containers, shared netns. The backend at v2.mazemaker.dev issues a 24-hour JWT and a per-tenant license — and never sees a single byte of memory content. Everything else runs on your machine, on your disk, in your kernel.

Simple Pricing

Local FastEmbed runs on your CPU at zero cost. Bring your own embedding key on paid tiers — we never mark up provider compute. We charge per tool call or a flat license, never both.

All tiers run the same Mazemaker engine. The difference is quota, support depth, and whether we host the license server (Enterprise only). BYOK embeddings stay on your machine — we don’t see your provider keys.

Quickstart Three Steps

Sign up, paste one curl-bash, point your agent at localhost. The whole local-pod stack — wonderland AES-256 vault, mazemaker-mcp, embedding-worker, license-client — lands as rootless Podman Quadlet units in under a minute.
