Score: 6.8/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 7, Utility: 7)

Kept is a local-first knowledge manager that saves AI conversations from multiple providers as plain Markdown files, with a desktop app for search, graph views, and an MCP server for agentic access. It's interesting because it gives users ownership over ephemeral AI chat history, turning vendor-locked data into a portable, queryable personal knowledge base.

Target audience: backend devs, data engineers, knowledge workers
