Usage Examples
Storing Memories
Just tell Claude something about yourself:
You: "I work at Google as a software engineer"
Claude: [stores memory] "Got it! I'll remember that you work at Google as a software engineer."
You: "My favorite programming language is Python"
Claude: [stores memory] "Noted! I'll remember that Python is your favorite programming language."
Recalling Memories
Ask Claude about things you've told it before:
You: "Where do I work?"
Claude: [searches memories] "You work at Google as a software engineer."
You: "What programming languages do I like?"
Claude: [searches memories] "Your favorite programming language is Python."
Automatic Context
Claude will automatically search your memories when relevant:
You: "Can you help me with some code?"
Claude: [searches memories for context]
"Sure! Since you prefer Python and work at Google, I'll write this in Python
following Google's style guide..."
