What goes in
What is remembered	Whatever the chat decides to keep in its own memory.	Facts or context extracted from full conversations.	What you ask your assistant to write down: a summary, the findings, the background.
How that memory looks	Selected details about you and your work.	A database of facts extracted from transcripts.	A readable note, from a short answer to a detailed plan.
Managing the memory	Manage memory through the assistant’s settings.	Access, editing and export through a dashboard or API.	Open memex and navigate through saved notes. Edit, update, delete as needed.
Source documents in chat	Any uploaded files remain available through chat history.	Document content is indexed for extraction.	Memex never saves the original files, only markdown notes with findings and results.
Using past conversations	The chat’s own history and search.	Search stored memories or full transcripts.	Memex doesn’t save full transcripts unless you ask for them.
Control and upkeep
If something's worth saving	Chat decides what to remember.	The entire transcript is saved and processed under the product’s rules.	Tell your assistant what to save. It creates a new note or updates the one you’re working on.
Correcting a mistake	Very basic memory correction options.	Complex system for deleting or editing stored memory facts.	Memex is a notebook. Open the note and change the sentence, the paragraph or restore an earlier version.
Using skills	Skills are available within the same provider.	Complex skillbooks and workflow pipelines.	Turn any note into the skill you need. Don’t repeat instructions, just tell your assistant what to do.
Tidying up	It decides when to clean up.	Automatic updates or expiry, based on your own rules.	Ask your assistant to tidy up your notes. Memex guides it to organize notes, fix links, and suggest updates.
Review gate	Not a part of the process.	Reviewing routine is optional, and can be complex.	Every assistant’s edit is held for review in memex. You check and decide if to accept it.
Access and organisation
Reading from another assistant	Not out of the box. You need to export and reimport everything.	Yes, all professional memory solutions fully support this.	Yes, memex lets all connected assistants and agents use the same knowledge base simultaneously.
Getting connected	Just open the chat.	A connector, an extension or a developer setup. Complexity varies.	Connecting an assistant is a few clicks through settings. You can connect multiple assistants at once.
Browsing what you have	Mostly browse through chat history.	A dashboard for stored records and source documents.	Memex is a notebook: Search, browse by tag, or follow links between notes. View a note history or explore your notebook on a map.
Looking something up	Scroll back, or search through your chats.	Keyword and meaning search across everything stored.	Go to memex and search there, or ask your assistant to find something for you in your memex knowledge base.
Export and recovery
Export	Available with some limitations.	Professional paid plans offer comprehensive export options.	You can export every note as a Markdown file, or the whole knowledge base in one click.
Undoing an edit	Not available. There is only what it says now.	History and rollback are available in professional paid plans.	Memex offers full note edits history from day one. Restore any earlier version.
Keeping a copy	Export your chat history.	Export transcripts, facts or settings, depending on the provider.	Export everything and keep using your Markdown files on your own machine, without memex.
Costs and conditions
What you pay for	Your AI subscription.	Free and paid plans are offered.	Memex is free, and self-hosted memex is open source.
Your data	Used for training unless you opt out.	The product’s policy and its AI providers’ terms apply.	Memex is a notebook, it has no AI of its own.
