Understanding Memory in Intangle
Intangle stores three types of information (all are "memories"):
1. Context
General information, facts, knowledge, notes
- "I prefer TypeScript over JavaScript"
- "The API endpoint for user auth is /api/auth/login"
- "Meeting notes from project kickoff on Nov 20"
2. Tasks
Actionable items with status tracking
- "Fix the login bug on mobile"
- "Review Sarah's pull request"
- "Research new database options"
3. Processes
Structured workflows and procedures
- "How to deploy to production: 1) Run tests 2) Build 3) Deploy"
- "My code review process: Check style, test coverage, logic"
- "Weekly planning routine: Review goals, prioritize tasks, schedule"
The system automatically classifies what you save - you don't need to specify which type, but you can via the "Update Space" tool if you want to.
How to Add a Memory in the App
Method 1: Through the Assistant Chat
Step 1: Open the Assistant page (it's in the sidebar)
Step 2: Type your message to the assistant
Just talk naturally - tell the assistant what you want to save:
- "Remember that I prefer working early mornings"
- "Save this: The database password reset flow is broken in production"
- "Create a task to review the authentication system"
Step 3: The assistant will save it for you
- It automatically decides if it's context, a task, or a process
- You'll see a confirmation that it was saved
- The information is now stored in your current space
Note: you can ask the assistant to edit or delete a memory if it got something wrong or you change your mind
What Makes a Good Memory?
Be specific and complete:
- BAD: "That thing we discussed"
- GOOD: "The new API rate limit is 1000 requests per hour per user"
Include context:
- BAD: "email is [email protected]"
- GOOD: "Email for notifying me about task completion is [email protected]"
Save decisions and reasoning:
- "Decided to use PostgreSQL instead of MongoDB because we need ACID compliance for financial transactions"
Why This Matters
This is where Intangle becomes powerful. Unlike regular note-taking apps, Intangle makes your information:
1. Searchable across all your conversations
2. Accessible from any AI assistant you connect
3. Automatically organized by intelligent topics
4. Available context at the start of any chat anywhere you need it
Every piece of information you save becomes part of your permanent, searchable, self-organised and secure knowledge base.
Tips for Success
- Start simple: Save something you'll want to remember
- Don't overthink it: You can always edit or delete later
- Save as you go: Not in big batches at the end
- Talk naturally: The assistant is smart and will handle the rest
- Try all types: Save context (general info), a task (something to do), and a process (how to do something)
