Project Memory
Remember context across conversations with Alex
Project Memory enables Alex to remember context across conversations by using terms like “remember this” or “keep this in mind”. This helps maintain continuity and provides more contextually relevant responses over time.
Understanding Project Memory
When enabled, you can ask Alex to remember context across conversations by using phrases like:
“Remember this”
“Keep this in mind”
“Remember that…”
“Take note of…”
This allows Alex to:
Maintain important context between chat sessions
Remember project-specific requirements and patterns
Provide more consistent and personalized responses

Creating Memories
Simply tell Alex what to remember during any conversation:
“Remember that our app uses SwiftUI and MVVM architecture”
“Keep in mind that we’re targeting iOS 17+”
“Note that all API calls should use async/await”
Privacy and Security
All project memory data is:
Stored locally on your device
Never shared with external services
Fully under your control
Best Practices
What to Remember
Use project memory for:
Project architecture
: “Remember we’re using MVVM with Combine”
Coding standards
: “Keep in mind we use 2-space indentation”
API details
: “Remember our API base URL is api.example.com”
Team preferences
: “Note that we prefer guard statements over if-let”
Dependencies
: “Remember we’re using Firebase for authentication”
Memory Management Tips
Be specific
: Clear, specific memories are more useful than vague ones
Update regularly
: Remove outdated memories to keep context relevant
Use search
: Quickly find memories using the search feature
Review periodically
: Check your stored memories to ensure they’re still accurate
Project Memory is especially useful for long-term projects where maintaining consistent context across multiple coding sessions is important.
