Base Layer FAQs

Question 1

What is Base Layer and what is its core purpose?

Accepted Answer

Base Layer is a software tool that compresses personal text (like conversations, journal entries, or documents) into a concise 3-6K token AI identity model. Its core purpose is to capture *how someone thinks* – their unique thought patterns and behavioral drivers – for deeply personalized AI interactions.

Question 2

What is the typical cost and time commitment for using Base Layer?

Accepted Answer

Processing approximately 1,000 conversations typically costs between $0.50 and $2.00 and takes around 30 minutes. Base Layer includes a built-in `baselayer estimate` command that allows you to preview the exact cost before initiating any processing, ensuring transparency.

Question 3

What types of personal data can Base Layer process?

Accepted Answer

Base Layer is designed to process a wide range of personal text data. This includes thousands of conversations from ChatGPT/Claude exports, personal journal entries, notes, books, essays, letters, and even patents. It supports various input methods for flexibility.

Question 4

How does Base Layer enable personalized AI interactions?

Accepted Answer

It generates a compact, portable behavioral identity model that can be seamlessly injected into any AI system prompt, including Claude custom instructions, ChatGPT project files, or an MCP server. This allows the AI to respond as if it genuinely understands your specific personality, communication style, and reasoning processes.

Question 5

What are the privacy and data handling policies for Base Layer?

Accepted Answer

Base Layer prioritizes privacy. Your database, vector store, extracted facts, and the final identity brief all remain stored locally on your machine. While initial processing may use the Anthropic API (subject to their zero-retention policy), a fully local extraction option via Ollama is available for maximum privacy, with active research into full local pipeline processing.
