Your local AI Workbench
Memory · Search · AI Tools · Agents — every AI you use, smarter together.
MakoBot runs on your Windows PC. It captures every commit, conversation, and note across every project, gives you one search bar that reaches all of it, and adds one-line plug-ins @verify @audit @codereview @designreview @contractreview that fan out to GPT, Claude, and Gemini for second opinions — all auto-injected into Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, Windsurf, ChatGPT, and Gemini.
Plus built-in Chat and Code tabs with 10+ cloud providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Groq, DeepSeek, xAI Grok) plus image vision, a bundled local model (no API key, works offline), sign-in with your Claude Code Max plan, five visual built-in agents with handoffs + schedules, an idle-time Dreams agent that drafts skills and rules while you're away, a Skills Marketplace for verified Anthropic skills, a 3D Brain Core visualization of your memory tree, and a Signal bridge so you can chat with MakoBot from your phone.
When you start a new session, the AI already knows who you are, what you've been working on, and where you left off — and you can call any plug-in to cross-check the answer in seconds.
Works with every AI coding tool. Windows 10/11.
your AI work.
The problem with AI today
Every AI builder — engineer, founder, freelancer — hits the same walls
"Where did I leave off?"
Every new AI session starts from zero. You spend 10 minutes re-explaining your project before you can do any actual work.
"Session crashed — everything's gone"
Hours of decisions, progress, and context vanish when a session disconnects or hits a context limit.
"I use 3 AI tools and none of them talk"
Claude doesn't know what you told ChatGPT. Cursor doesn't know what Gemini decided. Each tool is an island.
MakoBot fixes all of this — and adds the second opinion you've been wishing for.
Five pillars, one workbench
MakoBot is the local control plane for every AI you use — Memory, AI Tools, Skills, Agents, and the Brain Core.
Memory
Cross-project timeline + per-project context auto-injected into CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .cursorrules. One search bar reaches every commit, note, transcript, skill, and clipboard import.
AI Tools
@verify @audit @codereview @designreview @contractreview — fan out to GPT, Claude, and Gemini for second opinions. Max-plan calls route through your CLI for free.
Skills
Reusable skill library + God-Mode commands injected into every project so any AI client picks them up automatically. Built-in Skills Marketplace browses + installs verified Anthropic skills.
Agents
Five built-in agents — Researcher · Builder · Reviewer · Triage · Archivist — with assignable tasks, handoffs, recurring schedules, attachments, web fetch, and a live cost dashboard. Plus Dreams, the idle-time agent that drafts skills and rules while you're away.
Brain Core
Rotating 3D visualization of every entry in your memory tree — commits, feedback, skills, notes, sessions, and Dreams reasoning. Click any dot to see the full body. Filter by source.
Search across every project, every AI tool, every conversation
The feature users tell us they love most
You remember Claude solved this exact bug for you a few weeks ago — but on a different project. Without MakoBot, you re-derive the answer (10–30 minutes). With MakoBot, you type one word and find the conversation in five seconds.
Search reaches every commit, every note, every transcript, every skill, and every clipboard import — across every project and every AI tool you use.

How MakoBot Works
Three steps, zero configuration
Install and Add Projects
Run MakoBot and point it at your project folders. That's it. It starts watching automatically.
Work Like Normal
Use any AI tool — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Gemini. MakoBot silently records commits, conversations, and decisions in the background.
Every Session Knows Everything
When you start a new AI session, MakoBot has already written the context. The AI knows your projects, your preferences, and where you left off.
What's in MakoBot
Built by a developer who lost too many fresh AI chats
AI Tools (Plug-ins)
@verify, @audit, @codereview, @designreview, @contractreview — type the trigger in your AI chat and MakoBot fans the question out to GPT, Claude, and Gemini in parallel. BYOK. DPAPI-encrypted.
Five Built-in Agents
Researcher · Builder · Reviewer · Triage · Archivist — each with assignable tasks, inter-agent handoffs, recurring schedules, attachments, web fetch, and live cost tracking. Pick the right one for the job; chain them when you need to.
Dreams — Idle-Time Agent
While you're away, Dreams examines your memory and drafts new skills, feedback rules, and cleanup suggestions. Inline Save / Snooze / Discard in the Tick Log. Every Dream becomes a Brain Core node with an AI take attached.
Brain Core (3D)
Rotating 3D visualization of every entry in your memory tree — commits, feedback, skills, notes, sessions, and Dreams. Click any node to see its full body. Source-filter chips stick across restarts.
Skills Marketplace
Browse and install verified Anthropic skills from inside MakoBot. One-click install, visible installed state, handles nested SKILL.md formats and OneDrive paths cleanly.
Chat + Code Tabs
A full Chat tab with a 10+ provider AI picker (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Groq, DeepSeek, xAI Grok) plus image vision, and a Code tab with AvalonEdit, embedded terminal, Git pane, file tree, and multi-file tabs. Sessions resume across app restarts via --session-id / --resume.
Local Model (No Cloud)
Bundled LlamaSharp local model runs entirely on your machine. Zero cloud calls, zero API keys, works offline. Perfect when you can't paste data into a hosted AI.
Signal Bridge
Talk to MakoBot from your phone via the Signal messenger. Ask questions, dispatch agents, search your memory remotely — without opening your laptop.
Claude Code Max Sign-in
Sign in with your Claude Max subscription and chat without a separate API key. Every Anthropic call — chat, agents, Dreams, plug-ins — routes through your CLI for free. Cost dashboard merges Max + BYOK in one view.
Central Brain + Memory Graph
One brain.md across all your projects, plus a Memory Graph layer that indexes the auto-memory tree. Every AI tool reads the same source of truth. Non-destructive compaction with quarterly archives keeps it small without losing history.
AI-Triaged Proposals
Pending skill + feedback proposals are scored 1–10 by Haiku with a one-sentence rationale. Tabbed Save / Delete split kills the Approve/Reject ambiguity. Bulk 'Take all AI recommendations' sweeps the queue in one click.
Scheduled Auto-Backup
Set-and-forget backup of your memory tree to OneDrive or any folder on a schedule you pick. Runs on a background thread; sweeps stale .tmp files; never blocks the UI.
Project Watching
Add folders, MakoBot watches them. Git commits are captured automatically with diff summaries. Pause or remove projects any time.
Auto-Injection
MakoBot writes context directly into CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, and .cursorrules. Zero-friction for Claude Code, Antigravity, Cursor, and Windsurf.
One-Click Clipboard
For ChatGPT, Gemini, or any web AI — one click copies your project context and opens the browser. Paste and go.
Floating Widget
A small draggable circle on your desktop. Hover to see project cards with instant Copy, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Cursor buttons.
Live Dashboard
Activity feed, storage breakdown, context budget meter, project management, settings — all in one clean dark interface.
Screen Capture + OCR
Global hotkey to capture any screen region across all monitors. Built-in OCR extracts the text. Save as a note or import to brain.
Voice-to-Text Notes
Click the mic button, speak your note, and it's saved to your brain. Uses Windows Speech Recognition — no cloud, no API key.
Skills v2 + Reflector
Slim skill index with on-demand loading (agentskills.io spec), per-client filtering, and a background reflector that proposes new skills + rules after every turn — gated by your approval before anything writes.
MCP Server
Built-in MCP server on localhost:7777. Any MCP-compatible tool can search your memory, read your brain, add notes — programmatically.
Preferences Sync
Write your working preferences once. MakoBot pushes them to Claude, Antigravity, Cursor, and Windsurf config files simultaneously.
100% Private
Everything stays on your computer. No cloud, no accounts, no telemetry. Your data never leaves your machine.
Compatible with Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT & More
Automatic injection for local tools, one-click clipboard for web tools
Fully Automatic
MakoBot writes context directly into their config files. No manual steps.
One Click
Click the button in MakoBot's widget. It copies context and opens the browser.
Any Tool
Copy context to clipboard and paste into any AI tool. Import conversations back with one click.
Copy Context → paste anywhere
Import Clipboard → save conversations back
Works with literally any AI tool

Sessions remembered
Before vs. after
A real fresh-chat workflow, side by side.
Starting a fresh Claude Code chat
- 10:00 Open Claude Code in VS Code
- 10:01 Start a new chat — Claude has no memory of yesterday
- 10:02 Type 6 paragraphs explaining the project, what you're working on, what was decided last week, what tools you use
- 10:08 Realize you forgot to mention the database schema. Paste it in.
- 10:10 Realize Claude needs to know about the deploy issue from Tuesday. Search your old chats. Copy-paste.
- 10:14 Finally start working
14 minutes burned before any actual work happens. Five times a day = ~1 hour gone.
Starting a fresh Claude Code chat
- 10:00 Open Claude Code in VS Code
- 10:00 Type
Recover - 10:00 Claude reads MakoBot's injected context — already knows your projects, recent commits, last session, current build, open decisions
- 10:00 Start working
Under 30 seconds. ~1 hour back per day.
The actual math on time saved
Conservative numbers from active users.
~10 min
saved per fresh AI chat by skipping the "re-explain the project" ritual
~15 min
saved per "I know I solved this before" moment via search
~5 hrs
saved per week for an active builder using AI 4–8 hours/day
Your mileage depends on how often you start fresh AI chats and how much you context-switch between projects.
Who actually needs this
Most AI productivity tools are made by engineers, for engineers. MakoBot isn't.
Solo founders + non-developer builders
You're running a real business on top of AI tools. You can't hire engineers, but you CAN direct AI. Your bottleneck isn't the AI — it's losing context every time you open a fresh chat.
Freelancers + small agencies
Five to ten client projects. You context-switch every day. Without cross-project memory you re-onboard yourself into every chat. Search across every client's history is the killer feature for you.
MSPs + IT consultants
Every job is different. Memory + Skills + Commands turn AI into an actual member of your team that remembers every client's stack, every quirk, every decision.
Compliance-conscious builders
Lawyers, healthcare, finance — you want AI productivity but can't paste sensitive data into ChatGPT. BYOK + 100% local + DPAPI-encrypted keys + Verify Mode for second opinions on AI output.
Built by a developer who embraced AI
Most AI tools are made by engineers who never left the terminal. They assume you know how to install an MCP server, configure CLAUDE.md by hand, manage API keys, set up a JSON-RPC bearer token, and write your own memory adapters.
MakoBot is built by a developer who changed career paths, embraced AI as a force multiplier, and watched it open doors he never expected. He runs a real business that ships real client work on top of AI tools — and wanted a workbench built for builders like him.
That's why MakoBot is a real Windows app with an installer, a license key, an in-app updater, big readable UI, and a search bar — not a CLI you have to spend a weekend wiring up before you can use it.
