Manual and chat-saved memories
Capture memory that never came from an import — by hand or straight from chat.
Overview
What Manual and chat-saved memories does
Not every useful memory comes from an external tool. 1AIVault lets you add manual entries directly — a decision, a preference, or a note you want the vault to remember — through the catch-all Other tab in Collect. These typed memories sit alongside imported conversations and get the same classification, search, and recall treatment.
Conversations you hold inside the app count too. When you save a Unified Chat session, its transcript becomes a vault entry that can be classified, searched, and recalled later like any imported chat. Between manual notes and saved chats, memory that originates inside 1AIVault never has to live outside the vault.

FAQ
Common questions
Can I add my own memory without importing a conversation?
Yes. The Collect Other tab accepts manual entries, so a decision, preference, or note can be captured even when no AI tool produced it.
Do in-app chats get saved as memory?
Yes. Saved Unified Chat transcripts become vault entries that can be classified, searched, and recalled like any imported conversation.
