Getting Started
Learn how to create your first memories in Nowledge Mem
Now that you have Nowledge Mem installed, let's create your first memories.
Creating Memories
There are three main ways to create a new memory:
1. Import from AI Agent Conversations
This is the most common way to create memories. After configuring MCP (Model Context Protocol) with your AI agent, you can easily extract insights from your conversations.
Supported Agents
Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatWise, Cherry Studio, LobeChat, and many more...
How to do it:
- During your conversation with an AI agent, simply tell it:
- "Summarize our recent insight and add it to memory"
- "Summarize our recent decision and add it to memory"
- "Save this key finding to Nowledge Mem"
Note
if your agent support MCP Prompt
, for instance, in Cursor, you can type /
and then type mem
and Enter to ask cursor to summarize the current conversation's insights and add it to memory.
- The agent will use MCP to automatically create a memory in Nowledge Mem
Like this:
Example
This clip shows how to create a memory from a conversation with Cursor, and then consume the memory in a new conversation.

2. Distill Memories from Conversation Threads
When you have long, valuable conversation threads from ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, Claude, or other AI tools, you can distill multiple insights into memories in batch.
Two ways to import threads:
From Exported Files
- Export your conversation thread from your AI tool
- Import the file into Nowledge Mem
- Select which parts to distill into memories
Browser Extension (One-Click Import)
- Install the Nowledge Mem browser extension
- Navigate to your conversation thread webpage
- Click the extension to import directly
3. Create Memories Manually
It's recommended to generate memories within agent threads rather than manually, but we'll add this feature in the future.
Coming Soon...
Direct manual memory creation within the app.
What Happens After Creating a Memory?
Once you create a memory from your agent, Nowledge Mem automatically indexes it for fast search (BM25 + vector search).
If needed, you can also augment the memory later with knowledge graph, which:
- enhanced the searching of memories leveraging the connections and global view of knowledge among memories
- allow us to explore your memories within the knowledge graph
Note
If we instead import the thread directly, and distill it into memories, there is an option to augment the memory with knowledge graph together with the memory distillation.
