What Is a Memory?
A memory in Memory Capsule is a piece of structured knowledge extracted from an AI conversation. It is not just a copy of a chat log — it is something you intentionally chose to keep because it was useful, and it is organized so you can find it again quickly.
Example Workflow
Imagine you ask ChatGPT to explain binary search in Java. The AI gives you a clear explanation with a worked example. You know you will want to reference this in the future. Instead of starring the chat or copy-pasting into a notes app, you save it as a Memory Capsule memory.
Saving Your First Memory
- Open ChatGPT and ask a question — for example: "Explain binary search in Java with an example."
- Read the AI response and decide it is worth keeping.
- Click the Memory Capsule icon in your Chrome toolbar.
- The capture panel opens with the conversation segment pre-selected.
- Optionally add a title, tags, or assign it to a collection.
- Click Save Memory.
- A confirmation appears. Your memory is now saved.
What Happens After Saving
- The memory is stored with its source URL and timestamp.
- Tags are suggested based on the content (you can edit these).
- The memory immediately appears in your dashboard.
- It is now searchable by keyword, tag, or date.
Automatic Tagging
When you save a memory, Memory Capsule analyzes the content and suggests relevant tags. For the binary search example, suggested tags might include:
- Java
- Algorithms
- Binary Search
- Data Structures
You can accept these tags, remove any that are not relevant, or add your own before saving.

Finding Your Memory Later
- Open your Memory Capsule dashboard.
- Use the search bar to search for keywords — for example "binary search" or "Java".
- Your saved memory will appear in the results.
- Click it to read the full content and return to the original conversation.
Editing and Deleting a Memory
All memories can be edited or deleted at any time from the dashboard. Open the memory, click the edit icon to change the title, tags, or collection, or click delete to remove it permanently.
