The idea for Martium didn't come from a market report. It came from the same afternoon repeating itself: open an AI assistant, paste in three files of context, explain what you were debugging, get an answer, close the tab — and do it again the next day, because the tool never remembered any of it.
Zoom out and the same thing was happening everywhere on the team. A ticket would say what needed to happen but not why the previous attempt failed. A teammate would ask "didn't we already try this?" and the honest answer was: probably, but nobody could say where that decision lived. A person would leave the team and take eighteen months of undocumented reasoning with them.
None of that is a tooling gap you fix with a better wiki. Wikis go stale the moment someone stops updating them, and nobody updates them mid-debugging-session. The information was never missing — it was live, in commits and tickets and terminals and calls, and it disappeared the second nobody wrote it down.
So we built something that doesn't wait to be written down. Martium watches the work as it happens — on-device, text-first, privacy-first — and turns it into a memory the whole team can query later. You think. Martium remembers.
