you know how we're manually updating our Claude folders every session? there's a free open source tool called OpenViking that does that automatically
it organises our memories, resources and skills into a file system that updates itself as we work. no more re-explaining our project every new chat β the longer we use it, the smarter Claude gets about our stuff
how to connect it to Claude: we don't need VS Code for this. just run pip install openviking in the terminal, set up our Claude API key in a config file, and launch it with openviking-server. from there it reads all our files and feeds Claude the right context automatically β only pulling in what's actually relevant to what we're working on at that moment. it basically replaces the manual folder system we're building here
how it helps our projects: π§ Claude remembers our last session without us touching anything π our files stay updated automatically as we work π cleaner outputs because it only loads relevant context β not everything at once
where the bag comes in πΈ:
once we understand this, we can sell it as a service. businesses are struggling to get AI working consistently and we'd know exactly how to fix it
- charge to set up a custom memory system for clients
- package it into a done-for-you AI automation service
- build something useful with it and sell the template
- consult β most people don't even know this exists
everything we're learning in this course is literally the foundation of how this works β we're learning the right way first and then eventually we can use this tool to help us automate tasks better and even auto organize as you keep adding files and working. hope this helps our advanced users came across and thought I should share.
