How it works

Capsules, Types, references.

The right piece of context, in the right shape, at the right moment.

01

Capsules hold knowledge

A capsule is a small, focused unit of context. Type it yourself, or ask any AI to save it for you.

Captured once, retrievable forever.

· API v2 deferred to November
· Pricing review next Monday
02

Types hold guidance

A Type is a category with instructions that tell AI how to handle everything inside it.

@meeting-notes — guidance
Always save as bullet points. Keep entries under 5 bullets.
03

References pull them in

Call any capsule with @type/ref in any AI tool connected via MCP. Loads instantly as context.

Or invent your own — Symbol doesn't ship with templates. You decide what's worth keeping.

Why Symbol

Built different on purpose.

Most AI memory tools collect quietly in the background. Symbol works the other way around.

01

Intentional, not passive.

You decide what's worth keeping. AI does the typing. No log to sift through, no guessing about what got remembered.

Direction is yours. Labor is automated.

02

Structured, not freeform.

Types give context a shape. AI doesn't just read your notes, it reads your instructions for how to use them.

A doc is a wall of text. A capsule is a piece with a purpose.

03

Yours across every tool.

One knowledge base. Works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and anywhere else MCP runs.

Switch models without rebuilding your context.

Early users

Built for this. Used like this.

I stopped re-pasting my client brief into every chat. One capsule, every tool, every time.

Types are the unlock. Telling AI howto use the context, not just what's in it, changes the output entirely.

I switched from Claude to Cursor mid-project and my context came with me. That was the moment I got it.

“I built Symbol because I was tired of explaining myself to every new chat. If that sounds familiar, you're who I built this for. Try it. It's free, and I'd love to hear what you think.”
