At the end of last year, I was obsessed with AI coding. Most of what I did then was decide what to make, ask AI to write a PRD, and let an agent work. Once there was a product shape, I started testing, changing, adjusting, changing, adjusting… again and again.
After I finally finished a demo, the conversation context was so long that I had forgotten what I had actually asked the agent to do throughout the process. So I wondered whether there could be a tool that helped me with this.
Programmers have commits. Writers have records of their writing.
That is how LumiForge came about.
Its mechanism is simple. It watches an agent's workspace like a shadow and can capture every change. But the first problem was this: when a new file appeared, it could read its content, but it did not know why an action had happened. It could not capture the record of how I interacted with the agent. So it gained the ability to read CC sessions, and could summarise and analyse the whole build process.
Then came the second problem: it depended too strongly on CC.
After that, I stopped iterating on it… Today I went back to look at it:
Who could be more devastated than me… I opened CC sessions from a long time ago and saw this:
No messages yet.
No messages yet.
No messages yet.
…
Huh?
What…?
What does that mean?!
Then I went to CC's system folder. Only a dozen or so session records were left. All those “No messages yet” sessions were gone. Wow… gone? Really gone?? 🙂
How did they disappear? I do not know.
Who deleted them? I rarely touch system folders.
A few days ago I filed an issue with Claude, hoping CC and Claude memory could connect. It turns out someone raised the same issue as early as January. A quarter has passed, and Anthropic still has not put it on the schedule.
After Second Me onboarding, my interaction history sometimes seemed to disappear out of nowhere. I panicked inside—what product loses conversation history? Luckily, it was only a scare. The records had not disappeared; the interface only occasionally “lost” them. It still happens now, but maybe I have seen this kind of thing before, so I am less surprised.
But! Losing CC build records hurts me! 😭
How could they disappear?
Yes, if sessions are stored locally, how could they disappear?
Could an update affect them?
A relaunch?
Or something else?
I still have not figured it out.
Maybe build records themselves are not that important, because they include small details and even more noise. But memory, context, and the information around key moments—at this stage, I need them to have quality.
A couple of days ago I came across Airjelly through a podcast. It wants to understand context, capture it across apps, and understand user intent.
While listening to the podcast, I thought of LumiForge. Of course, they cannot really be compared—the focus is different too.
LumiForge is more like a second brain at the level of points. Airjelly… is looking toward lines and surfaces, maybe even a volume.
But I think it is very interesting, especially the relationship between Enter and capturing intent. 🤔
I only started using Airjelly today, so I will see after some time whether it is worth writing feedback about using it.
Btw, it is working right now. 😂
Just from how I felt after listening to the episode, this founder… how should I put it? I remember Tian Jiangchuan saying in a podcast from Chuxin Capital that basic fondness or admiration for a good founder is harder to quantify. But if you need a measure, perhaps you can ask: would you want to date this person? :)
And the product—the pale blue floating jellyfish is really cute! (Isn't it!)
Oh, and here is the beta invite code: AIRJELLY-24426. If you are interested, let us go see what it feels like to use.
P.S. Everything I said above about products and people is only personal preference, and should not be used as anything else.
