Private beta / Bring your own model

It remembers what matters, lets go of what doesn't, and you can correct it.

AI chat that keeps notes on your work — typed, fading over time, and yours to edit.

How memory works

Most AI chat either forgets everything or remembers everything. Neither is right.

01 / Scope

Ask inside a project, with its memory already loaded.

The chat sits beside the project's sources and its saved memory — typed notes on decisions, goals, and friction it already knows, not a blank slate.

02 / Recall

Memory that fades unless it matters.

Every note decays on its own half-life — a passing comment fades in weeks. Pin the ones that shouldn't.

03 / Inspect

Inspect the evidence, and correct what's wrong.

Open citations, memories, files, and context receipts to see exactly what the response used — then fix any memory that's outdated or wrong.

04 / Resume

Return without rebuilding the brief.

Come back to the project with its typed memory and conversations still organized around the work — nothing to retype, nothing forgotten that still matters.

Trust

Control, not magic

Your model connection

Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, billed by that provider at their rates. A limited number of invited testers instead run on a capped, Refinery-funded allowance.

Visible context

Citations, memory, files, and context receipts stay visible so you can inspect what an answer used.

Protected by design

Provider keys are encrypted and app data is protected by Supabase row-level security. Refinery does not claim certifications.

Private beta

Bring memory into the next conversation.

Request access, then connect your own supported model provider for beta use.

Beta access uses your own model key.

FAQ

Do I need an API key?

For most beta access, yes: connect your provider key before full chat and source indexing work. Memory features specifically need an OpenAI key today. A limited number of invited testers get a capped, Refinery-funded allowance instead and can skip this until it runs out.

What does BYOK mean?

Bring your own key: you connect your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google account and that provider bills you directly. That's the default for beta. A small number of invited testers instead run on a capped tester allowance funded by Refinery, up to a fixed cap, not unlimited or hidden.

Is my data private?

Provider keys are encrypted, app data is protected by Supabase RLS, and you can already inspect, edit, or delete individual memories and see the sources behind any answer from the context panel. Refinery does not claim certifications.

Does it work on mobile?

The landing page is mobile-responsive. The product is desktop-first during beta; mobile app workflows come later.

How much does beta cost?

Default beta access runs on your own model key, billed by that provider at their normal rates. A limited number of invited testers instead get a capped, Refinery-funded allowance at no cost to them. Hosted usage and paid plans are planned separately.

What models are supported?

Chat runs on OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Memory is different: indexing and recall currently need an OpenAI key, so an Anthropic-only or Google-only key gives you working chat without the memory features. Making memory work on any provider is in progress.

Can I delete or export data?

Existing export/delete surfaces are present but still need a full data-rights matrix. Public copy stays modest until that work is complete.

Is canvas available now?

Canvas exists as a project work surface but is not the landing-page promise.
