Connections, Subjects, and Facts

Connections keep related information together without combining Memories or changing their content.

Open the More actions menu on a Memory and select Connections. The window has two main areas:

  • Related memories connects two specific Memories.
  • Subjects groups several Memories around the same person, company, project, product, place, or topic.

Each Memory keeps its own content, status, sensitivity, tags, and history. Removing a Connection does not delete either Memory.

Option What it does Generic example
Tag Adds a lightweight label for filtering. Add travel to trip notes, bookings, and packing lists.
Subject Groups many Memories around the same person, company, project, product, place, or topic. Group meeting notes, tasks, and preferences under a customer called Greenfield Bakery.
Direct link Connects two specific Memories when their individual relationship matters. Link a purchase decision directly to the comparison note that supports it.
Fact Keeps a reviewed detail about a Subject. Save Prefers email contact as a reviewed Fact for a customer.

A simple rule:

  • Use a Tag to label.
  • Use a Subject to group Memories around the same thing.
  • Use a direct link to connect two particular Memories.
  • Use a Fact for a reviewed detail that should remain easy to find.

Use a direct link when two particular Memories have a meaningful relationship.

Two relationship choices are available:

  • Related to for a general connection.
  • Depends on when one Memory relies on another.

For example, a task called Choose a new phone can depend on a Memory called Phone budget and requirements. The two Memories remain separate, but their relationship is clear.

Unlinking removes only the relationship. It does not change or delete either Memory.

A Subject is a reusable name for who or what one or more Memories are about.

Subjects can represent:

  • a person;
  • a company or customer;
  • a project;
  • a product;
  • a candidate;
  • a place;
  • a research topic.

For example, a small business can create a Subject called Greenfield Bakery and link:

  • a first meeting note;
  • a product enquiry;
  • a follow-up task;
  • a support request;
  • an account review.

The same Subject keeps these separate Memories organized around one customer.

From the Subjects area in Connections, it is possible to:

  • link an existing Subject;
  • create and link a new Subject;
  • reuse the same Subject across other Memories;
  • edit a Subject’s name or type;
  • unlink it from one Memory;
  • delete the Subject.

Deleting a Subject removes the Subject and its organization links. It does not delete the Memories linked to it.

A Fact is a reviewed detail about a Subject that is useful across more than one Memory.

Examples include:

  • a contact preference;
  • a product requirement;
  • an agreed decision;
  • a renewal month;
  • a current status;
  • a known risk.

For the fictional Greenfield Bakery Subject, useful Facts could be:

  • Prefers email contact
  • Interested in the standard plan
  • Next review is in October

Each Fact keeps a link to the Memory where the information came from. The source Memory is not rewritten.

Open a linked Subject and select Facts. The Facts window separates information into:

  • Current for active reviewed Facts.
  • Review for suggestions that still need a decision.
  • History for Facts that are no longer current.

Facts can be added, edited, moved to History, restored, or deleted. Suggestions from a connected AI stay in Review until they are accepted, edited, or rejected.

The Related memories area separates confirmed links from suggestions:

  • Linked memories are Connections that have been confirmed.
  • Suggested memories are possible matches found by Memside.

Select Link when a suggestion is useful. Select Reject when the Memories are not related.

A suggestion does not become a confirmed Connection until it is linked.

The Context Map provides a visual view around one Memory. It can show:

  • direct memory links;
  • Subjects and their linked Memories;
  • an active checkpoint;
  • useful suggestions.

Confirmed Connections use solid lines. Suggestions use dashed lines. On smaller screens, the same information appears as grouped cards.

The Context Map is for viewing. Use Connections to link, unlink, accept, or reject information.

Using Connections with agents and applications

Section titled “Using Connections with agents and applications”

Subjects and Facts are useful when several AI agents or applications need to work with the same organized context.

The Subject acts as the shared topic. Memories hold the original notes, tasks, events, or decisions. Facts hold reviewed details that should remain consistent across work.

A sales agent can save a call summary under a customer Subject. A follow-up agent can find the same Subject, read the latest task, and use reviewed Facts such as contact preference or product interest.

A support agent can link an issue to the same customer or product Subject. Another agent can see the earlier support note without mixing it into the sales Memory.

Interview notes, availability, role preferences, and follow-up tasks can be grouped under a candidate Subject. Reviewed Facts can keep important details consistent across recruiting steps.

Planning notes, decisions, tasks, references, and checkpoints can share one project or research Subject. Different agents can work on separate tasks while using the same reviewed context.

This pattern can also support personal planning, education, property management, account management, and other applications.

  1. Create one Subject for the customer, candidate, project, product, or topic.
  2. Link each relevant Memory to that Subject.
  3. Add only reviewed details as Facts.
  4. Use direct links when two specific Memories have an additional relationship.
  5. Let each connected agent find the Subject and use only the context needed for its task.
  6. Review suggested Facts before making them Current.

Connected agents can help create Subjects, link Memories, and suggest Facts when those actions are enabled. Important changes remain visible for review and confirmation.
