About Vivendur
We’re building private AI memory and access control for organizations handling sensitive information.
We call the problem memory sovereignty: who decides what AI systems know, remember, infer, and retain about a person or an organization. Vivendur is building a sovereign memory layer, the infrastructure between you and AI providers that is designed to put those decisions back with you. Read our founding essay.
AI tools become more useful when they can work with an organization’s knowledge. Our aim is to provide that context with clear control over which information each tool receives.
We’re designing memory as a layer separate from the models that use it. Access is a decision for each tool and task. See where we are or try the access challenge.
Our founder
Azin Etemadi founded Vivendur after working as a doctor and researcher.
In that work, privacy constraints limited how much her team could use AI’s capabilities. Protecting sensitive data was essential, even when sharing more context might have made the tools more useful.
That experience shaped Vivendur’s focus: helping organizations decide what AI tools can know, how that access changes, and what happens when they choose another tool.
In the press
