No more duplicates
Merge folds two topics that mean the same thing into one, re-pointing every entry so no conversation is lost.

Aliases and topic merge
One topic, no matter how many names it goes by.
Overview
What Aliases and topic merge does
Different tools and different days produce different names for the same thing — auth, authentication, login system. Aliases tie those synonyms to a single topic so they never splinter, and merge folds two topics that clearly describe the same project, product, or customer into one, re-pointing every entry so nothing is lost in the process.
The payoff compounds over time. Because the classifier checks aliases and existing topics before creating anything new, future imports under any known name route straight to the right topic instead of spawning a near-duplicate — keeping your topic list tight and your digests complete rather than split across several thin copies.

Why it matters
The payoff for your AI memory
Synonyms stay linked
Add aliases like "auth" and "login" so future conversations under any name route to the right topic automatically.
A cleaner map
Consolidating names stops the same project from fragmenting across several near-identical topics.
How it works
From first launch to reusable memory
- 1
Open a topic that shares meaning with another.
- 2
Add aliases for the alternate names the same subject appears under.
- 3
Merge two topics when they clearly describe the same project, product, or customer.
- 4
Let future entries route to the consolidated topic through its aliases.
FAQ
Common questions
How do I merge duplicate topics in 1AIVault?
Open a topic and use merge to combine it with a duplicate. Entry assignments are re-pointed to the surviving topic, so none of your conversations are lost.
What are topic aliases for?
Aliases tie alternate names for one subject together, so a project that shows up under several different names across tools stays grouped under a single topic.
