Mementos - Intelligent Memory System

(Experimental Feature — enable in Profile > Settings > Experimental Features)

Availability: This feature may be enabled or disabled at the organizational level by your administrator. If the toggle is grayed out with "Disabled by administrator," contact your organization admin to request access.

Mementos is Bike4Mind's intelligent memory system that automatically captures, organizes, and recalls important information from your conversations. Like a personal assistant with perfect memory, it ensures that valuable insights, decisions, and context are never lost.

How to Enable and Access​

  1. Click your avatar in the sidebar footer to open your Profile
  2. Go to the Settings tab
  3. Scroll to Experimental Features and toggle Mementos on

Once enabled, a Mementos tab appears in your Profile where you can view, manage, and delete individual memories. The AI will automatically start capturing and recalling mementos in your conversations.

What are Mementos?​

Mementos are AI-curated memories extracted from your conversations. They:

  • Capture important facts, decisions, and insights automatically
  • Organize information with smart tagging and relevance scoring
  • Recall relevant memories when needed in future conversations
  • Evolve over time based on usage and importance

How Mementos Work​

Automatic Memory Creation​

When you have conversations with Bike4Mind, the AI:

  1. Identifies important information worth remembering
  2. Evaluates the significance (scored 0-10)
  3. Summarizes the key points concisely
  4. Tags the memory for easy retrieval
  5. Stores it in your personal memory bank

Memory Tiers​

Mementos are organized into three tiers based on relevance and recency:

🔥 Hot Tier​

  • Most recent and frequently accessed memories
  • Automatically injected into conversation context
  • Highest priority for recall
  • Limited capacity to maintain performance

🌡️ Warm Tier​

  • Important but less frequently accessed
  • Available for manual recall
  • Medium priority
  • Larger capacity than hot tier

❄️ Cold Tier​

  • Archived memories for long-term storage
  • Rarely accessed but preserved
  • Lowest priority
  • Unlimited capacity

Intelligent Recall​

Mementos are automatically recalled when:

  • The current conversation relates to stored information
  • You ask questions about past discussions
  • Context would be helpful for the AI's response
  • Patterns emerge across multiple conversations

Types of Information Saved​

Automatically Captured​

  • Key Decisions: "We decided to use React for the frontend"
  • Important Facts: "The project deadline is March 15th"
  • Personal Preferences: "User prefers dark mode interfaces"
  • Technical Details: "The API endpoint is https://api.example.com/v2"
  • Insights & Learnings: "Performance improved 40% after optimization"

Examples of Mementos​

[Memory] Project Architecture Decision
Context: In our discussion about the new app, we decided to use a 
microservices architecture with Docker containers. The main services 
will be: auth-service, user-service, and payment-service.
Tags: #architecture #project #microservices #docker
Score: 8.5

[Memory] User Preference - Code Style
Context: User prefers TypeScript with strict mode enabled and uses 
ESLint with Airbnb configuration. They like explicit type annotations 
even when TypeScript can infer them.
Tags: #preferences #typescript #coding-style
Score: 7.0

Managing Mementos​

Manual Controls​

While Mementos work automatically, you can also:

  • Create: Explicitly save important information
  • Edit: Update or refine existing memories
  • Delete: Remove outdated or incorrect memories
  • Search: Find specific memories by content or tags

Memory Limits​

To maintain optimal performance:

  • Hot tier: ~50 active memories
  • Warm tier: ~200 memories
  • Cold tier: Unlimited
  • Automatic tier management based on usage

Privacy & Security​

  • Mementos are private to your account
  • End-to-end encrypted storage
  • Never shared between users
  • Full export/delete capabilities

Best Practices​

Maximize Memento Value​

  1. Be Explicit: When making important decisions, state them clearly
  2. Provide Context: Include why decisions were made
  3. Use Consistent Terms: Helps with memory association
  4. Review Periodically: Check and update memories as needed

When to Create Manual Mementos​

Create manual memories for:

  • Project specifications
  • Personal preferences
  • Team decisions
  • Important URLs or credentials (encrypted)
  • Custom instructions for the AI

Memory Hygiene​

Regularly:

  • Review hot tier memories
  • Archive outdated information
  • Update changed details
  • Remove duplicate memories

Advanced Features​

Smart Tagging​

Mementos are automatically tagged with:

  • Topic categories (#project, #personal, #technical)
  • Entities mentioned (@john, @company-name)
  • Technologies (#react, #python, #aws)
  • Time references (#deadline, #milestone)

Relevance Scoring​

Each memory receives a score (0-10) based on:

  • Explicit importance markers
  • Frequency of related topics
  • User interaction patterns
  • Recency and context

Cross-Session Learning​

Mementos enable:

  • Continuity across sessions
  • Pattern recognition
  • Preference learning
  • Context accumulation

Use Cases​

Tips for Effective Use​

  1. Trust the System: Let automatic capture work
  2. Be Descriptive: Clear communication helps memory creation
  3. Use Natural Language: No special syntax required
  4. Iterate: Memories improve with use
  5. Provide Feedback: Correct inaccurate memories

Memory Commands​
