Unabyss bets AI's missing layer is portable context — two #1 Product Hunt launches in 2026

An MCP-native vault carrying identity, knowledge and preferences across Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT and 50+ apps — #1 on Product Hunt twice in 2026.

Unabyss

The betThat portable, permissioned context — one MCP-native vault following the user across apps and LLMs — is the missing layer between smart but amnesiac AI tools.Live

What the business is

Unabyss is a portable, MCP-native context layer: it extracts identity, knowledge and preferences from the apps you already use into a structured vault, and any MCP-compatible AI tool (Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT) can read that vault with per-tool permissions, so agents start each session knowing you instead of cold.

How it started

Unabyss was founded by Marcin Uchacz (CEO) with co-founders Philip Kubinski and Dominik Bartosik around the observation that AI is stateless: every chat or IDE session starts cold, and no model knows who you are, what your company does or what you decided last week. Uchacz — who previously founded the social-selling AI OneType and the B2B outbound agency Leadpack — set out to build a persistent, portable context that follows the user instead of living inside one vendor.

What happened

The first launch, an MCP-native self-updating context layer for AI, chart-topped Product Hunt in May 2026. On July 17, 2026 the team launched Unabyss for Claude, a Claude-focused version that pulls memories from other AI agents and everyday apps — email, Drive, GitHub, Notion, meeting recorders and 50+ connected services — and keeps GPT and Cursor in sync with the same context. It took #1 Product of the Day with 589 upvotes and 122 comments, and runs on a freemium model with granular per-tool permissions and conflict resolution across contradictory sources.

How it ended up

Still live: after two #1 Product Hunt launches in 2026, Unabyss continues as a freemium context layer for users who work across multiple AI tools; no funding round or revenue figures have been publicly disclosed.

Background

Unabyss, founded by CEO Marcin Uchacz with co-founders Philip Kubinski and Dominik Bartosik, starts from a simple frustration: every AI conversation or IDE session begins from zero. Claude does not know what happened in GPT, and neither knows the user's role, stack or recent decisions — so Unabyss builds a single portable context layer that carries identity, knowledge and preferences across Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT and more than 50 other apps.

The mechanism is MCP-native: Unabyss connects the apps people already work in (GitHub, Notion, Linear, Slack, Gmail, Google Drive), extracts and structures that context into a self-updating vault, and exposes it to any MCP-compatible agent. Each tool reads only what its permissions allow, and the system resolves contradictions between sources, so a developer switching between coding agents stops re-explaining their stack and conventions in every session.

The bet found an audience quickly. A May 2026 launch of the MCP-native context layer chart-topped Product Hunt, and on July 17, 2026 the Claude-focused version — Unabyss for Claude — took #1 Product of the Day with 589 upvotes and 122 comments. The company operates a freemium model with paid Pro plans and reports integrations spanning ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, VS Code, Obsidian, Slack and Google Drive.

What has to be true

  • Every new chat or IDE session starts cold, so multi-tool AI users repeatedly re-explain their role, preferences, stack and decisions.
  • Vendor-specific memory is the wrong shape for a multi-LLM world; MCP, an open standard, makes one vault portable across Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor.
  • A structured, self-updating vault beats pasting context or static RAG documents, because it stays current as the user works.
  • Two #1 Product Hunt launches within two months (May and July 2026) are concrete evidence that the pain resonated with AI power users and developers.
  • Granular per-tool permissions answer the privacy objection: each AI reads only what its owner grants it.

What can be applied

Models are getting smarter while staying amnesiac — Unabyss bet that portable, permissioned context is the missing layer, and two #1 Product Hunt launches showed the pain was real for AI power users.

Aftermath

As of July 19, 2026 Unabyss is live on a freemium model, offering a free tier and paid Pro plans for its MCP context server, with more than 50 connected services and per-tool permission controls. Its July 17, 2026 launch of Unabyss for Claude took #1 Product of the Day on Product Hunt with 589 upvotes and 122 comments, its second chart-topping launch of the year after a May 2026 debut. No funding round, revenue figures or an exit have been publicly disclosed, and the product continues to target developers and AI power users who work across multiple assistants.
