Autonomous conversation capture and search for Claude Desktop

Never lose a conversation again. The AI Librarian automatically captures, compresses, and indexes all your Claude Desktop conversations into a searchable database - completely autonomously.

• Fully Autonomous - Set it and forget it, runs 24/7

• Real-time Capture - Records every Claude conversation automatically

• 85% Compression - Smart delta compression (10 MB -> 1.5 MB)

• Searchable Database - Instant full-text search across all conversations

• Query Tools - 90% token savings vs built-in Claude tools

• Fast - 10-100x faster processing with compression

• Private - Everything stays local on your machine

• [TIME] Auto-Start - Starts with Windows, requires zero maintenance

• Windows 11

• Python 3.7+ (included with Windows)

• Claude Desktop

Monitor activity:

type orchestrator\orchestrator.log

If you prefer manual control:

# Start logger




cd logger




start_logger.bat









# Process & compress




cd ..

# Search




cd curator




python claude_curator.py search "topic"

# Search conversations




python claude_curator.py search "machine learning" 10









# Get specific conversation

# View statistics




python claude_curator.py stats

The AI Librarian includes query tools that let Claude search your conversation history directly, saving 90% tokens vs built-in tools.

Add to your Claude Project instructions:

When user references past conversations, use:




cd C:\Projects\AI-Librarian\query_tools && python librarian_query.py search "term" 5









Benefits: 90% fewer tokens, 5x faster, complete history.

See query_tools/COPY_TO_PROJECT.txt for complete instructions.
