Basic Memory gives you a persistent knowledge base: your notes, decisions, research, and project context, stored as plain Markdown files you own. Anything your AI saves to Basic Memory, you can open and edit. Anything you write, your AI can find and build on.
Save what matters. "Save our pricing decision and link it to the roadmap." Notes you save in one conversation are available everywhere.
Retrieve context from anywhere. "What did we decide about pricing? Check my notes first." Never re-explain a project.
Search by meaning. Semantic and hybrid search across everything you and your AI have saved.
Structured search. Filter by status, type, tags, or priority. "Show my open tasks, sorted by priority."
Follow connections. Linked notes let your AI traverse related context and surface relationships in a living knowledge graph.
Share a workspace with your team. Teammates and their AI tools read and write to one shared source of truth.
Notes are stored as ordinary Markdown that you own. Any AI tool can use and build on it, so your shared context follows you across the assistants and agents you use.
