Hosted AI apps

These setup paths use OAuth when supported. OAuth allows sign-in without pasting an API key into the AI app.

IDEs and coding agents

These tools commonly use a Memside API key in a bearer header. Authentication options can vary by app version.

In-App Assistant

The Memside in-app assistant uses a provider configured under Settings > LLM Configuration.

See In-App Assistant.

What connected AI tools can do

Available actions can include:

search and read Memories;
create or update Memories;
save and continue from checkpoints;
use Tasks, Subjects, Connections, Profile, Rules, and Skills;
suggest Facts for review.

Secret Memories remain inside the Memside app. Fact suggestions require review. Permanent deletion requires AI delete permission and explicit confirmation.

Start with a read-only request:

Use Memside to find the Weekend trip plan Memory and summarize the next step.

Test create, update, and delete actions only after reads work.
