# How Project Memory Works

# How Project Memory Works

> **Quick Answer:** Project memory captures key information from your conversations - decisions, preferences, facts - and makes it available in future chats within the same project.

## What You'll Learn

* What project memory stores
* How it differs from conversation history
* How it differs from the Knowledge Graph
* How to view and edit memory

## What Is Project Memory?

Project memory is the accumulated knowledge from your conversations within a project. As you chat, important information is extracted and stored:

* **Decisions made** - "We chose React over Vue"
* **Preferences stated** - "I prefer bullet points over paragraphs"
* **Facts shared** - "Our team is 12 people"
* **Constraints established** - "Budget is \$50K"
* **Context built** - "We're targeting enterprise customers"

This memory persists across conversations. When you start a new chat in the same project, the AIs already know these things.

## Memory vs. Conversation History

|             | Memory                        | Conversation History         |
| ----------- | ----------------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| Scope       | Key facts and decisions       | Everything said              |
| Persistence | Available in all future chats | Only within that chat        |
| Size        | Compressed, essential         | Full, verbose                |
| Purpose     | Context for new conversations | Record of past conversations |

Think of memory as the "notes" an assistant would keep, while conversation history is the full transcript.

## Memory vs. Knowledge Graph

|            | Memory                       | Knowledge Graph            |
| ---------- | ---------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| Structure  | Key-value facts              | Entities and relationships |
| Complexity | Simple                       | Rich, connected            |
| Update     | Automatic from conversations | Automatic with extraction  |
| Use case   | Persistent context           | Deep knowledge retrieval   |

Memory is "what does the AI need to remember." The Knowledge Graph is "what complex knowledge has been built."

## What Gets Remembered

The system automatically extracts:

* **Explicit statements** - "We're a B2B company" → stored
* **Decisions** - "Let's go with option A" → stored
* **Corrections** - "Actually, it's 15 people, not 12" → updates previous memory
* **Preferences** - "I like concise answers" → stored
* **Key data** - Company name, metrics, dates mentioned → stored

What doesn't get stored:

* Casual conversation
* AI responses (only your stated facts/decisions)
* Temporary context ("for this question, assume X")

## Viewing and Editing Memory

### View Memory

Open the right sidebar → Project Info → Memory section. You'll see a list of stored facts and decisions.

### Edit Memory

You can:

* **Delete** entries that are outdated or wrong
* **Edit** entries that need correction
* **Add** entries manually if the system missed something

### Clear Memory

If a project's direction has changed significantly, you can clear all memory and start fresh.

## Tips

* Memory builds over time. The more you use a project, the smarter the AIs become about your context.
* If AIs reference something outdated, check and edit the memory.
* Custom instructions are better for permanent rules. Memory is better for accumulated knowledge.
* Memory is project-specific. Moving to a new project means starting with fresh memory.
* You don't need to explicitly say "remember this." The system extracts important information automatically.
