Memory or project notes enables Alex to maintain context across conversations for better and more contextually relevant interactions. This documentation explains how memory works and how to manage it well.

Understanding Memory

Purpose

Memory allows Alex to:

  • Maintain context from previous conversations
  • Provide more relevant and personalized responses
  • Learn from your coding patterns and preferences
  • Improve response accuracy over time

How It Works

The memory system:

  • Stores key information from your conversations
  • Analyzes patterns in your coding style
  • References past solutions when relevant
  • Adapts responses based on historical context

Managing Memory

Enabling and Disabling

You can control memory settings through the Settings panel:

  1. Open the Settings panel
  2. Navigate to Memory preferences

  • Clearing topic-specific memories

Privacy and Security

Data Storage

All memory data is:

  • Stored locally on your device
  • Never shared with external services

Best Practices

For best results, enable memory for:

  • Long-term projects
  • Complex coding tasks
  • Learning sessions

Memory Management

Regular maintenance helps optimize performance:

  1. Review memories periodically
  2. Remove outdated information
