Build on Continua

Every app has different needs. The API supports all three patterns — or mix them.

🧠

Memory-First Apps

Search and profile user context with scoped access. Perfect for personalization, CRM views, and knowledge-aware assistants.

GET /v1/memory/claims/search?q=who+works+on+ML
  → [{"content": "Sarah works on ML infra at Acme."}]

GET /v1/memory/claims/profile
  → {"summary": "User cares about ML infra, conferences, and team planning."}

🤖

Helper-Powered Features

Let the personal helper reason over stored context. Ask questions, generate summaries, take actions. Streaming responses via SSE for real-time UX.

POST /v1/agent/run
  {"prompt": "What should I prioritize today?"}

→ SSE stream with reasoning + recommendations
→ Based on memory, calendar, and recent activity

📡

Multi-User Coordination

Publish feeds of structured state. Other users' personal helpers subscribe and react automatically. Revenue sharing built in — publishers earn 70%.

POST /v1/feeds/{id}/publish
  {"data": {"status": "open", "wait_time": "5min"}}

→ 47 subscriber personal helpers receive the update
→ Publisher earns 47 credits
