Grov

Grov is an open-source AI memory tool designed to enhance the efficiency of engineering teams by synchronizing reasoning across an organization. It effectively captures the reasoning behind code changes, preventing redundant exploration and reducing token usage. By preserving prompt caches, Grov ensures that AI systems remain in sync, leading to faster task completion and lower resource consumption.

The tool works by integrating with Claude, an AI system, through a simple installation process that involves running three commands. Once set up, Grov operates as a local proxy, capturing reasoning from AI sessions without altering the user's workflow. It injects relevant context from past sessions, allowing Claude to bypass unnecessary exploration and directly access pertinent files, thus making the AI smarter over time.

Grov also monitors AI activity to ensure alignment with user goals, automatically correcting any drifts. It captures detailed reasoning traces, documenting not just what changes were made, but why they were made. This includes information about tasks, goals, files touched, reasoning traces, and status, all tagged for easy retrieval and team collaboration.

Requiring Node.js 18+ and Claude Code v2.0+, Grov is accessible via a simple setup process and offers features such as API access in its Pro version. It positions itself as a collective AI memory for engineering teams, ensuring that the AI never forgets and continuously improves its efficiency.
