Chats become reusable memory
Archived conversations join the vault as entries, so an answer you got today is searchable and citable weeks later.

Chat transcripts saved to vault
Turn a finished conversation into searchable, classifiable long-term memory.
Overview
What Chat transcripts saved to vault does
Chat transcripts saved to the vault turn a conversation into durable memory. When a chat is archived, its full exchange — your messages, model replies, and any agent runs, each labeled — is written as a vault entry using the same transcript format the rest of the app renders. The chat's knowledge stops living in one throwaway window and joins your searchable, long-term store.
Once saved, a transcript behaves like any other memory: it can be classified into topics, found by semantic and full-text search, linked in the graph, and recalled by connected MCP clients. Chat state and vault value stay separate, so deleting a conversation never erases the archived memory, and a growing conversation can refresh its entry as it adds new turns.

Why it matters
The payoff for your AI memory
Classifiable and linkable
Saved transcripts flow into topic classification and the graph, connecting a chat to the wider project context it belongs to.
Findable everywhere
Once in the vault, a conversation surfaces in semantic search, full-text search, and MCP recall from your other AI tools.
How it works
From first launch to reusable memory
- 1
Hold a conversation in Unified Chat.
- 2
Archive it to the vault, or let auto-archive save it after enough turns.
- 3
Classify the resulting entry into topics like any other memory.
- 4
Search or recall the transcript later from the app or a connected MCP client.
FAQ
Common questions
What happens when I save a chat to the vault?
The conversation is written as a vault entry in transcript format, tagged with the models and agents used, so it can be classified, searched, and recalled like any other memory.
Does deleting a conversation remove its saved memory?
No. Chat state and the archived vault entry are separate, so deleting the live conversation leaves the saved transcript intact in your vault.
