 # Quick Start: Claude-Mem + Cursor Integration
 
+> **Give your Cursor AI persistent memory in under 5 minutes**
+
 ## What This Does
 
 Connects claude-mem to Cursor so that:
-- Agent actions (MCP tools, shell commands, file edits) are automatically saved
-- Context from past sessions is automatically injected via `.cursor/rules/`
-- Sessions are summarized for future reference
+- **Agent actions** (MCP tools, shell commands, file edits) are automatically saved
+- **Context from past sessions** is automatically injected via `.cursor/rules/`
+- **Sessions are summarized** for future reference

+Your AI stops forgetting. It remembers the patterns, decisions, and context from previous sessions.

 # Claude-Mem Cursor Hooks Integration
 
-This directory contains Cursor hooks that connect claude-mem to Cursor, enabling persistent memory across Cursor sessions.
+> **Persistent AI Memory for Cursor - Free Options Available**
+
+Give your Cursor AI persistent memory across sessions. Your agent remembers what it worked on, the decisions it made, and the patterns in your codebase - automatically.
+
+### Why Claude-Mem?
+
+- **Remember context across sessions**: No more re-explaining your codebase every time
+- **Automatic capture**: MCP tools, shell commands, and file edits are logged without effort
+- **Free tier options**: Works with Gemini (1500 free req/day) or OpenRouter (free models available)
+- **Works with or without Claude Code**: Full functionality either way
+
+### Quick Install (5 minutes)
+
+```bash
+# Clone and build
+git clone https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem.git
+cd claude-mem && npm install && npm run build
+
+# Interactive setup (configures provider + installs hooks)
+npm run cursor:setup
+```

 # Claude-Mem for Cursor (No Claude Code Required)
 
+> **Persistent AI Memory for Cursor - Zero Cost to Start**
+
 ## Overview
 
 Use claude-mem's persistent memory in Cursor without a Claude Code subscription. Choose between free-tier providers (Gemini, OpenRouter) or paid options.
 
 **What You Get**:
-- AI memory that persists across Cursor sessions
-- Automatic capture of MCP tools, shell commands, and file edits
-- Context injection via `.cursor/rules/` for every chat
-- Web viewer at http://localhost:37777
+- **Persistent memory** that survives across sessions - your AI remembers what it worked on
+- **Automatic capture** of MCP tools, shell commands, and file edits
+- **Context injection** via `.cursor/rules/` - relevant history included in every chat
+- **Web viewer** at http://localhost:37777 - browse and search your project history
+
+**Why This Matters**: Every Cursor session starts fresh. Claude-mem bridges that gap - your AI agent builds cumulative knowledge about your codebase, decisions, and patterns over time.

 # Cursor Integration
 
-Claude-mem brings persistent AI memory to Cursor IDE. Your coding sessions remember context across restarts, helping the AI understand your codebase deeply over time.
+> **Your AI stops forgetting. Give Cursor persistent memory.**
+
+Every Cursor session starts fresh - your AI doesn't remember what it worked on yesterday. Claude-mem changes that. Your agent builds cumulative knowledge about your codebase, decisions, and patterns over time.
