Alma by Olivares AI

Alma by Olivares AI is an advanced AI assistant engineered to solve one of the most persistent frustrations with current AI tools: the complete lack of long-term memory. Unlike standard chatbots that treat every conversation as a fresh start with zero context, Alma automatically extracts and retains facts, preferences, and decisions from every single interaction. This creates a continuously evolving understanding of who you are, what you need, and how you like to work. Your AI never forgets your preferred writing style, the details of your ongoing projects, or specific information you shared weeks ago. Beyond this revolutionary memory system, Alma introduces a unified workspace that combines background agents, creative studios, and research tools all under one single monthly budget with no hidden fees. You can set long-running research agents that work autonomously for days or weeks, generate images, videos, and music without juggling multiple separate subscriptions, and conduct deep web research that consolidates findings directly into your persistent memory. Alma is built for everyone from casual users who want a smarter conversational partner to creators producing thumbnails and soundtracks, researchers tracking industry trends, and power users who want to bring their own API keys or connect via MCP. It supports 16 languages, offers voice conversations and voice note transcription, and provides a long-form editor with export to DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, and PDF. With a starting price of just $14 per month and no hidden add-ons, Alma aims to be the single AI tool that truly remembers and works for you across every task.

Persistent Memory System

Alma automatically extracts facts, preferences, and decisions from every chat and retains them permanently. Your AI remembers your preferred writing style, your ongoing projects, and specific details you shared weeks ago. This means you never have to repeat yourself or rebuild context, as the system continuously builds a rich profile of your identity and needs across all conversations.

Background Agents

Describe a goal in plain language, and Alma plans and executes it in the background for hours or even weeks. You can set agents to investigate competitors for 30 days with daily briefs and final reports, watch the web for brand mentions with notifications, or generate weekly status reports from your recent memories. These agents work autonomously on a schedule you define.

Creative Studios Bundle

Three powerful creative studios for image, video, and music generation all share a single monthly budget with no add-ons. The Image Studio uses Flux Pro and Leonardo for various styles and aspect ratios with inpainting and upscaling. The Video Studio leverages Runway Gen-4 for up to 60 seconds of 1080p video. The Music Studio provides ElevenLabs studio-grade tracks up to 10 minutes.

Soul Engine v2

This is a complete cognitive framework, not just a simple personality prompt. You can define identity, worldview, style guide, anti-patterns, and communication modes for your AI. Context Assembly automatically assembles the right context for each interaction without any manual prompt engineering, ensuring Alma always understands the full picture of your needs.

Personalized Conversational Assistant

Casual users can enjoy a smarter conversational partner that truly remembers them between sessions. Alma retains your tone preferences, remembers past discussions, and adapts its responses to your communication style. You can have natural voice conversations on the move, and voice notes are automatically transcribed into structured memories that persist across all future interactions.

Content Creation for Creators

Creators can generate thumbnails, soundtracks, and short videos all within one workspace without juggling multiple subscriptions. The Image Studio produces professional visuals for social media, the Video Studio creates short promotional clips, and the Music Studio generates background tracks or intros. All assets are drawn from the same monthly budget, simplifying workflow and cost management.

Research and Knowledge Work

Researchers can set background agents to track industry trends for weeks, conduct deep web searches that are summarized directly into persistent memory, and use the long-form editor to draft reports. The system keeps the thread across multiple projects without contaminating context between them. Export capabilities to PDF, DOCX, and Markdown make sharing findings straightforward.

Power User Integration

Developers and power users can bring their own provider keys for compatible AI models, connect Alma to their editor over MCP, or hit the API directly. The VS Code extension with sidebar chat allows seamless integration into coding workflows. This flexibility ensures Alma fits into existing technical ecosystems without forcing users to abandon their preferred tools.

How does Alma's persistent memory work across conversations?

Alma automatically extracts facts, preferences, and decisions from every chat you have. These are stored in a structured memory system that is referenced in every future interaction. You never need to repeat context or re-explain your preferences. The system continuously learns and adapts, building a rich profile that includes your writing style, project details, and personal preferences over time.

Can I use Alma for image, video, and music generation without separate subscriptions?

Yes, absolutely. Alma bundles all three creative studios under one single monthly budget with no add-ons or separate subscriptions. The Image Studio, Video Studio, and Music Studio all draw from the same USD pool. You only need to top up when you exhaust your monthly allocation, and there are no per-feature fees or hidden costs for using different creative tools.

What is the Soul Engine v2 and how is it different from a simple prompt?

Soul Engine v2 is a complete cognitive framework that goes far beyond a simple personality prompt. It allows you to define identity, worldview, style guide, anti-patterns, and communication modes for your AI. This creates a sophisticated and consistent behavioral model that shapes every interaction. Combined with Context Assembly, it automatically assembles the right context for each conversation without manual engineering.

How do background agents work and what can they do?

You describe a goal in plain language, and Alma plans the execution strategy. The agent then runs autonomously in the background for hours or weeks, reporting back on a schedule you define. Examples include investigating a competitor for 30 days with daily briefs, watching the web for brand mentions with instant notifications, or generating weekly status reports from your recent memories. Agents work continuously without requiring your active attention.

Alma starts at just $14 per month with no hidden add-ons or surprise fees. This single monthly budget covers all features including persistent memory, background agents, and all three creative studios for image, video, and music generation. You can cancel anytime, and your data remains exportable. The Pro and Max plans offer additional features such as avatars for video generation, bring-your-own-key capabilities, MCP server access, and VS Code extension integration. There are no per-feature charges, and you only top up your budget when you exhaust it.
