Example scenario
A user works on the same technical, business or personal project for months. One session uses a local model, another uses a frontier model, and sometimes the process restarts entirely. The user does not want to paste the project history back into every new conversation or become locked to one model just because that model holds the context.
What matters
Useful continuity needs more than a long chat transcript. Project facts should remain reviewable, traceable and correctable. A model change should not silently erase the working context, and an old observation should not become permanent truth just because it was mentioned once.
How ARKTOR Intelligence and Vault fit
ARKTOR Intelligence is the Local Personal Assistant product built around project continuity, structured personal memory, approved capability use and verification. ARKTOR Vault is the ARKTOR family memory module that keeps approved project context reusable across sessions, restarts and supported model changes.
Evidence basis
ARKTOR Vault 0.3.0-alpha.1 passed its retained 21/21 local end-to-end memory lifecycle suite. The retained cross-model proof also showed stored project knowledge being reused after a fresh process by a different model. The current public evidence is summarized in SC Agent Lab and on the ARKTOR Vault product page.
What this does not prove
This does not claim that ARKTOR Intelligence is already a finished public personal assistant. Its first MVP still has to combine chat, continuity, memory, capability selection, execution and verification into the intended end-user experience. Vault itself also has future release work around public packaging, encryption-at-rest and multi-user authorization.

ARKTOR Intelligence is the assistant experience. ARKTOR Vault is the durable local memory path underneath that continuity goal.
