Alma by Olivares AI

Alma by Olivares AI is an advanced AI assistant designed to solve one of the most persistent frustrations with current AI tools: the lack of long-term memory. Unlike standard chatbots that treat every conversation as a fresh start, Alma automatically extracts and retains facts, preferences, and decisions from every interaction, building a continuously evolving understanding of who you are and what you need. This persistent memory means your AI never forgets your preferred writing style, your ongoing projects, or the specific details you shared weeks ago. Beyond memory, Alma introduces a unified workspace that combines background agents, creative studios, and research tools under a single monthly budget. You can set long-running research agents that work for days or weeks, generate images, videos, and music without juggling separate subscriptions, and conduct deep web research that consolidates findings directly into your memory. Alma is built for everyone from casual users who want a smarter conversational partner to creators producing thumbnails and soundtracks, researchers tracking 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.

Persistent Memory

Alma automatically extracts facts, preferences, and decisions from every chat and retains them across all future conversations. This means your AI remembers that you prefer concise, direct answers, that you are a solo founder working on a persistent memory SaaS, or that you asked for Spanish responses when writing copy. The memory system is not just a simple vector store but a complete cognitive framework that understands context, personality, and learned behavior. You never have to repeat yourself or re-explain your preferences, making every interaction more efficient and personalized.

Background Agents

You can describe a goal in plain language, and Alma will plan and execute it autonomously in the background for hours or even weeks. For example, you can ask Alma to investigate a competitor for 30 days and send daily briefs with a final report, watch the web for mentions of your brand and notify you when something relevant appears, or generate a status report every Monday at 8am from your recent memories. These agents work independently, freeing you to focus on other tasks while Alma handles ongoing research, monitoring, and reporting.

Creative Studios (Image, Video, Music)

Alma bundles three powerful creative studios into one workspace, all drawing from a single monthly budget with no separate subscriptions or add-ons. The Image Studio uses Flux Pro and Leonardo across multiple styles and sizes, with features like inpainting, upscaling, and bulk variations. The Video Studio leverages Runway Gen-4 and Gen-4.5 to generate up to 60 seconds of 1080p video, with avatars available on the Pro plan. The Music Studio, powered by ElevenLabs, produces studio-grade tracks up to 10 minutes long, including focus loops, intros, and demos with or without vocals.

Web Search and Research

Alma provides answer-engine style search with AI summaries, plus deep research capabilities that gather sources and consolidate them into your persistent memory. This means you can ask complex questions and receive well-sourced, summarized answers that are automatically stored for future reference. The research feature is particularly useful for tracking trends, monitoring competitors, or conducting ongoing investigations without manually saving and organizing information. All findings become part of your memory, enriching future conversations and agent tasks.

Personalized Daily Assistant

With persistent memory, Alma becomes a truly personalized assistant that understands your schedule, preferences, and ongoing projects. You can have natural conversations where the AI remembers your dietary restrictions, your preferred meeting times, and the status of your current tasks. For example, you can ask for a summary of your week's progress on a project, and Alma will draw from past conversations and notes to provide a coherent, context-aware update. Voice conversations and voice note transcription make this even more convenient when you are on the move.

Long-Term Research and Monitoring

Researchers, analysts, and business owners can set background agents to monitor specific topics, competitors, or brand mentions over extended periods. Instead of manually checking news sites or social media daily, you describe the goal once and Alma handles the rest. The agent can send daily briefs, highlight important changes, and compile a comprehensive final report. All findings are automatically integrated into your memory, building a rich knowledge base over time that you can query at any point.

Content Creation for Creators

Creators can use Alma's unified studios to produce thumbnails, short videos, and background music without juggling multiple subscriptions. A YouTuber, for instance, can generate a video thumbnail using the Image Studio, create a short promotional clip with the Video Studio, and compose a custom soundtrack with the Music Studio, all within the same workspace and under one monthly budget. The ability to edit and iterate directly from chat prompts streamlines the creative workflow significantly.

Multilingual Business Communication

For professionals working across languages, Alma's 16-language support and persistent memory are invaluable. You can write copy in Spanish, have it translated to English, and then ask for revisions based on previous feedback. The AI remembers that you prefer a formal tone for client communications and a casual style for internal memos. The long-form editor with DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, and PDF export makes it easy to produce polished documents, reports, and presentations directly from your conversations.

How does Alma's persistent memory differ from other AI memory features?

Unlike typical AI memory that relies on simple conversation history or vector stores, Alma uses a complete cognitive system called Soul Engine v2. This system defines identity, worldview, style guide, anti-patterns, and communication modes. It does not just store facts but understands context, personality, and learned behavior. Preferences and decisions are automatically extracted and retained across every conversation, so you never have to repeat yourself. You can also manually add or edit memories, and export your data at any time.

Can I use Alma for creative work like generating images, videos, and music?

Yes, Alma includes three dedicated creative studios for image, video, and music generation, all accessible from the same chat interface. The Image Studio uses Flux Pro and Leonardo models, the Video Studio leverages Runway Gen-4 and Gen-4.5, and the Music Studio is powered by ElevenLabs. All three draw from a single monthly budget with no separate subscriptions or add-ons. You can generate assets directly from prompts, edit them in place, and export ready-to-use files.

What happens to my data and memories? Can I export them?

Your data and memories are yours. Alma allows you to export your entire memory at any time, ensuring you retain full control and portability. The system is designed with privacy in mind, and you can cancel your subscription at any point. Memories are stored securely and are used only to personalize your experience within Alma. For power users on the Max plan, you can even bring your own provider keys for additional control.

How do background agents work and what can I use them for?

Background agents are autonomous tasks that you describe in plain language. Alma plans the execution and runs the agent in the background for hours, days, or weeks. You can use them for competitive research, brand monitoring, daily status reports, or any recurring information gathering task. Agents report back on a schedule you define, and all findings are integrated into your persistent memory. This feature is ideal for ongoing projects where manual monitoring would be time-consuming.

Alma offers a straightforward pricing model starting from $14 per month. This base plan includes persistent memory, background agents, access to all three creative studios (image, video, and music), web search and research, and the long-form editor with document export. There are no hidden add-ons or separate subscriptions for individual features. A Pro plan is available for users who need advanced features like video avatars, and a Max plan for power users who want to bring their own provider keys, connect via MCP, or use the API. You can cancel anytime, and your data remains exportable.
