Build Your Memory Layer
Here's where PromptBlocks becomes truly personal. As you chat within a project, the AI learns and remembers important facts. This is your memory layer — context that builds automatically.
What Are Memories?
Memories are facts the AI extracts from your conversations and saves for future reference. When you mention a preference, make a decision, or share important context, it can become a memory.
In your next conversation within that project, the AI already knows. No reminders needed.
How Memories Are Created
Automatic Suggestions
Every 5 messages in a project chat, PromptBlocks analyzes your conversation and suggests potential memories. You'll see a subtle indicator:
──────── 3 memories suggested · Review ────────
Click Review to see what the AI thinks is worth remembering.
Ask the AI to Remember
You can explicitly tell the AI to save something:
- "Remember that we decided to use blue as the primary color"
- "Note that the deadline moved to March 15"
- "Save this: our target customer is non-technical small business owners"
The AI creates a memory immediately.
Manual Entry
Add memories directly:
- Click the brain icon in the chat header
- Click Add Memory
- Type the fact you want saved
- Save
Managing Memories
Open the Memory panel (brain icon in chat header) to see:
Suggested memories — Facts the AI thinks might be useful. Review each one:
- Click checkmark to approve and make it active
- Click X to dismiss
- Click edit to modify before approving
Active memories — Facts included in your AI context. These inform every conversation in the project.
You can edit or delete any memory at any time.
What Gets Remembered
The AI focuses on extracting facts from your messages (not its own responses):
Good memory candidates:
- Preferences: "I prefer concise responses"
- Decisions: "We chose the subscription pricing model"
- Key facts: "Budget is $50,000"
- Constraints: "Launch must happen before the trade show"
- Context: "Sarah is the final decision-maker"
Not remembered:
- Temporary information
- Generic statements
- AI-generated content
Memory Limits
Each project can hold 50 active memories. If you're approaching the limit:
- Review existing memories for outdated information
- Delete memories that are no longer relevant
- Consolidate related memories into single, richer facts
Quality over quantity. A few well-written memories beat many vague ones.
Valuable Memories by Role
Small Business Owner
| Memory | Why It Helps |
|---|---|
| "We're targeting residential customers exclusively until we hit $500K revenue" | Strategic focus stays consistent |
| "Jake handles all equipment maintenance decisions" | AI knows who to reference |
| "Our busy season is April through October" | Timing context for planning |
Recruiter
| Memory | Why It Helps |
|---|---|
| "Acme strongly prefers candidates from product-focused companies over consulting backgrounds" | Sourcing guidance |
| "The hiring manager values communication skills over pure technical depth" | Interview prep focus |
| "They've passed on 2 candidates for culture fit reasons" | Pattern recognition |
Independent Consultant
| Memory | Why It Helps |
|---|---|
| "Sarah prefers executive summaries with 3-5 bullet points maximum" | Deliverable formatting |
| "The COO is skeptical of technology solutions" | Stakeholder management |
| "Previous consultant failed due to scope creep" | Political awareness |
Agency Owner
| Memory | Why It Helps |
|---|---|
| "CloudSync CEO personally reviews all copy before approval" | Review process context |

| "I have 4 hours/week maximum for podcast work" | Time constraints |
| "Audio quality complaints dropped after new mic" | Technical decisions |
Memories Compound Over Time
Here's the powerful part: memories accumulate. After a month of working on a project, the AI knows:
- Your preferences and working style
- Key decisions you've made
- Important stakeholders and their quirks
- Constraints and requirements
- Context that took weeks to develop
You didn't maintain a document. You didn't update settings. You just did your work, and the AI learned alongside you.
Quick Start
- Open a project chat you've been using
- Click the brain icon to open the Memory panel
- Review any suggested memories
- Approve the useful ones
- Manually add one important fact you want remembered
Now start a new chat in the same project and reference that fact. The AI knows.
Next Step
You now have all the building blocks: prompts, global context, projects, files, and memories. Let's see how they work together to create a context layer that builds itself.
