# Exemem — for agents

Exemem = executable memory.
The cloud companion to LastDB: encrypted backup, multi-device sync, slice
delivery, and org shared databases. Transport + storage only — does not mine
payload contents.

Pre-launch / invite-only. No self-serve signup.

## Status

- Cloud accounts require an invite.
- Early-access requests are human-reviewed. Do not invent invite codes.
- Local LastDB needs no account and works offline without Exemem.
- Get human consent before creating accounts or connecting cloud.

## Mental model

| Thing | Role |
|-------|------|
| LastDB | Local database on the user's Mac. Free forever for local use. |
| Exemem | Executable memory in the cloud sense: keep it (backup), share it (slices), collaborate (org). |
| Account | Passkey identity for cloud. Not needed for pure-local LastDB. |
| Invite | Gate for new accounts: `EXM-XXXX-XXXX` or `/join/<token>`. |

## Prerequisites

1. macOS Apple Silicon (supported install path).
2. LastDB installed and healthy — https://thelastdb.com/llms.txt first.
3. Human consent before cloud steps.

```bash
curl -s --unix-socket ~/.lastdb/data/folddb.sock http://localhost/health
# expect ok-style JSON
```

## Path A — user already has an invite

1. Join link: `https://exemem.com/join/<token>` (install CTA + code; may deep-link `lastdb://join?…`).
2. Or code `EXM-XXXX-XXXX` at https://exemem.com/login (passkey + invite field).
3. API keys (optional): https://exemem.com/developer
4. Connect node when ready:

```bash
lastdb connect
# or documented Last Stack / desktop passkey-link flow
```

## Path B — no invite yet

```bash
curl -sS -X POST https://exemem.com/api/early-access \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "name": "Ada Agent (for Tom)",
    "email": "tom@example.com",
    "use_case": "multi-Mac backup + startup org board",
    "company_website": ""
  }'
```

| Field | Rule |
|-------|------|
| name | Required |
| email | Required |
| use_case | Required — specific (backup / slices / org) |
| company_website | Honeypot — MUST be empty |

No invite code in the response. Human review is out-of-band. Do not spam.

## Path C — developer API key

1. Passkey login at https://exemem.com/login
2. Create key at https://exemem.com/developer
3. Store only in LastSecrets / OS secret store

## Executable memory modes

### Backup
Memory on every machine you own. Encrypted snapshots; restore after device loss.

### Slices
Hand a piece of executable memory to a person or app as usable records in their LastDB. Opaque on the wire. You keep the source.

### Org
Shared team LastDB. Invite like a user; never email raw org E2E secrets. Personal DBs stay personal.

## Rules

DO: prove local LastDB first; real email + use case; secrets out of git/chat; LastDB is source of truth for compute.

DON'T: invent invites; cleartext org/API keys; kill primary lastdbd to "fix" cloud; re-enable paused sync without clearance; spam endpoints.
