Every developer using an AI coding agent has experienced this: you start a new session, and the AI has no idea what happened yesterday. The architecture decisions, the deployment gotchas, the hard-won lessons from last week’s incident — all gone.

Most AI coding tools offer basic memory — flat files, simple notes. These work for small projects. But as projects grow, they hit limits: no search, no importance ranking, no conflict detection, and silent truncation of critical information.

Kandela extends your AI agent’s memory where it matters most.

What Kandela Does

Auto Recall — When a session starts, Kandela loads the most relevant context by importance. Not everything — just what your agent needs right now. Past decisions, infrastructure rules, gotchas, and recent session summaries. Better decisions from the first line.

Prompt Guard — Sometimes a developer asks the AI to do something that contradicts a decision made months ago. Kandela detects the conflict and surfaces the original reasoning before work begins. Not blocking — informing.

Circuit Breaker — When the same type of error keeps repeating, Kandela recognizes the pattern and provides the proven solution from past records. 45 minutes of trial and error becomes 5 minutes.

Hybrid Search — Semantic understanding combined with keyword precision. When a 2 AM incident hits, Kandela finds the identical incident from 6 months ago in 3 seconds. The fix is already documented.

Importance Engine — 25 rules automatically score every memory. Compliance warnings always surface first. Minor notes decay over time. Your agent always sees what matters most.

Remote Control — Fix production issues from your phone. One Telegram command, and your agent handles it. No laptop required.

How It Works

Kandela runs as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. Any MCP-compatible AI coding tool can connect to it. Your memories are stored in a vector database with semantic search, BM25 keyword matching, and time-weighted importance scoring.

# Install in one command
curl -fsSL https://kandela.ai/install | bash

No code changes. No workflow disruption. Kandela works alongside your existing tools — extending their capabilities, not replacing them.

Currently compatible with Claude Code. Support for more AI coding tools is planned.

Kandela is built by Deep-ON. The name combines Eric Kandel (Nobel laureate in memory science) with Candela (the unit of light) — illuminating what AI agents forget.
