🎯 The Problem We Solve

Every day, you have brilliant conversations with AI - strategy sessions with GPT-4, code reviews with Claude, analysis with Gemini. But when you close that chat window, all that knowledge vanishes. This is the “AI knowledge evaporation” problem.

💡 The Solution

plugged.in is the world’s first AI Content Management System (AI-CMS) - a platform that transforms ephemeral AI interactions into persistent, versioned, and searchable organizational knowledge.

Think of it as “Git for AI-generated content” meets “WordPress for AI interactions”.

✨ What Makes plugged.in Special

🧠 AI Memory That Persists

Your AI conversations become permanent assets. Every document is versioned, attributed, and searchable.

🤝 Multi-Model Collaboration

Claude writes v1, GPT-4 adds technical specs in v2, Gemini refines in v3 - all tracked and attributed.

🔌 Universal MCP Integration

Works with 1,500+ MCP servers. Connect any tool, any AI, any workflow - all through one interface.

🔒 Enterprise-Grade Security

End-to-end encryption, OAuth 2.1, rate limiting, and sandboxed execution for your peace of mind.
