# Anneal - Your AI; Your Way > Anneal is the intelligent layer for AI interactions. One runtime that > makes every AI smarter, more personal, and more consistent. It learns, > remembers, and enforces the way you work. Rules, skills, and memories > that make every AI interaction yours. ## What Anneal Is Anneal is a state-based intelligence layer that sits between users and any AI model. It provides memory management, scoped context assembly, and structured knowledge that persists across sessions, tools, and teams. Unlike opaque "memory" features in ChatGPT, Claude Projects, or Cursor rules, Anneal gives users full visibility and control over what the AI knows, who it knows it for, and when that knowledge applies. ## Core Concepts ### State-Based Memory Memory is not a transcript. It is structured state: who you are, what you've told it, what you're working on, and what's happening around you. These layers combine on every turn so the AI always has the right context. ### Scoped Facts Every fact has a scope: User (personal), Team (shared), or Global (organization-wide). Narrower scopes override broader ones automatically. ### Supersession When you correct the AI, the old fact is replaced. Corrections stick; outdated information does not come back. ### Deterministic Context Assembly On every turn, the engine assembles context from all layers using scope filtering and relevance ranking. The AI never sees restricted, expired, or superseded content. ## Deployment Modes - **Local**: native binary for on-device use - **Browser**: WebAssembly for zero-install access - **Provider-Side**: embedded in AI infrastructure - **Managed**: hosted service with compliance and support ## Site Navigation - Home: https://annealit.ai/ - Platform: https://annealit.ai/platform - Vision: https://annealit.ai/vision - Privacy: https://annealit.ai/privacy - Blog: https://annealit.ai/blog - Demo: https://annealit.ai/demo ## About the Creator Anneal is built by Christian Battaglia (@cdbattags), VP of Engineering at Sysdyne Technologies. 13+ years building and scaling products across startups, education tech, consumer apps, and enterprise SaaS.
