Vodou v0.6.20 — ALPHA. Still alpha: expect rough edges, and don't point it at anything you can't afford to have go sideways.

Vodou is open-core. This repo (Apache-2.0) is the full client + orchestration surface; the engine binaries ship under the EULA from VodouAI/vodou-core. Both are attached below.

265 commits since v0.6.19. This is a big one — the browser bridge went from "works on two sites" to "works on twenty-two", and the memory graph got a face.

Your AI chats become memory — on 22 sites, not 2

Save what's here used to work on ChatGPT and Claude only. It now works on all 22 supported sites: Gemini, AI Studio, Grok, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Copilot, Le Chat, Qwen, Kimi, Z.ai, T3 Chat, OpenRouter, Poe, Meta AI, Manus, You.com, Duck.ai, NotebookLM, HuggingChat and Character.AI.

Each site was verified by saving a real conversation and reading the stored text back out of the database — checking words and speakers, not turn counts. Every single site had its own defect, and none of them would have failed a count check:

  • Reasoning leaks on seven sites. One stored 1,045 characters of the model's private chain-of-thought as if it were the answer — twice the length of the actual reply.
  • Interface text stored as speech on six. Hidden accessibility labels ("You said"), icon names (keep_pin, copy_all), timestamps, model badges.
  • Broken conversation identity on three. One site gave every unsaved chat the same id, so each save silently overwrote the last.
  • Missing or invented turns on four. One virtualized list dropped 3 of 8 messages; another stored every user turn twice; another captured alternate replies the user never kept.
  • Private data captured as a message on one — your own account name.

Under the hood that's one parameterized extractor driven by per-site selector data, plus a new import lane in the engine, so a site that changes its markup is a data fix rather than a release.

Auto-attach memory when you send (opt-in, off by default)

Turn it on per site and pressing send pauses, appends relevant memory to the bottom of your message, and sends it as one prompt. With it on, Vodou acts on your behalf — the panel says so plainly, and the privacy policy was updated to match. Off by default, and off means nothing is ever sent for you.

Your message is never lost: a failed lookup, an empty result, a failed insert and a hang all still send exactly what you typed.

One in-page control instead of two

The two floating discs merged into a single mark that fans open into the actions available on that site. Progress and results now report on the button rather than in a box beside it.

The Brain — the memory graph, visible

  • The stars, and how they connect — the graph as something you can actually look at.
  • Latest view — the newest memory lit up with its context in rings.
  • Chronicle — pick a day and see what it connects to.
  • Relations that say how two names are related, not just that they co-occurred; and entity typing so a name is understood rather than guessed from its shape.

The capture feed

Every captured conversation, every provider, on one wall — with the model that answered, a link back to the original thread, and a way to delete anything that shouldn't be there.

The extension became a proper product

The popup is gone; the toolbar icon opens a side panel that holds the memory picker, activity log and every setting. Per-site toggles for both capture and insert across all 22 sites. A capture kill switch that a provider objection can actually reach. Pairing that links straight to where the code lives.

The store build reads only — outgoing request bodies are never modified.

Onboarding

The browser lane can be acted on now: an install path, live detection when the extension connects, and proof it actually captured something. A lane fixed by an environment variable states the value and names the variable instead of showing a checkbox you can't move.

Memory quality

  • Imports stopped re-extracting the same fact once per monthly file.
  • Pasted console output is no longer stored as durable memory.
  • The extractor understands dates.
  • Self-healing brain: better default embeddings with a probe-gated swap, plus scheduled dedup and self-test.
  • Guest memory is scoped to the room's vault, and the bootstrap leak is closed.

Platforms

Prebuilt bundles for macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel), Linux (x64 + arm64) and Windows x64.

Windows is untested at runtime and unsigned — SmartScreen will warn, and it hasn't been verified on a real Windows machine. Treat it as a preview.

Install

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/VodouAI/OS/main/install-vodou.sh | bash

Or download a bundle below and run ./install-prebuilt.sh.

Known rough edges

  • Windows: unsigned, runtime unverified.
  • The in-page Save button reads the messages currently rendered on the page. On very long threads that's what's loaded, not the entire history — provider exports and the paginating backfill still cover the rest.
  • Auto-attach finds each site's send control by its accessible name; a site that ships an unlabelled button may need a one-line addition.
