What is Monte?
Monte is an AI developer tool that acts as a portable persona layer for AI agents, giving them task-specific context before work begins through a CLI and API. Instead of pasting the same preferences into every chat, developers install the CLI (npm i -g monte-engine), authenticate, and run a personalize command that returns a task-aware instruction block agents can consume. Monte captures how you think, decide, communicate, handle risk, and evaluate outputs as a signal you own, then delivers it to tools like Claude Code, Codex, Notion, and other agents so each session starts aligned. The persona model is built on nine dimensions such as risk tolerance, time preference, learning style, and decision speed, drawn from sources, memories, and rules rather than open-ended memory. Output surfaces include a CLI command, an API endpoint (/personalization/context), and a portable prompt block that pastes directly into an agent session. Monte positions itself as fit rather than memory: durable context that reduces cold starts, cuts repeated preambles, and produces cleaner handoffs between tools. It works with hosted bearer keys and is aimed at developers who run multiple AI agents and want consistent, personalized guidance across all of them.

Questions about Monte
What is Monte?
Monte is a portable persona layer for AI agents. You install its CLI and API, build a persona from your data, and give agents task-specific context about how you think, decide and communicate before they start working.
What is Monte used for?
Monte is used to give AI agents like Claude Code, Codex and Notion a consistent, task-aware picture of your preferences, reducing repeated preambles, cold starts and inconsistent first responses across tools.
How does Monte work?
You install the CLI (npm i -g monte-engine), authenticate with a Monte key, then run a personalize command for a given task. Monte returns a portable instruction block via CLI, API endpoint, or prompt handoff that you feed into the agent.
Is Monte the same as agent memory?
No. Monte describes itself as fit, not memory. It captures your durable taste, judgment and goals as a signal you own and delivers it to agents before the work begins, rather than storing conversation history.
