basic-memory — Persistent AI chats that keep your project context
From the repo · “AI conversations that actually remember. Never re-explain your project to your AI again. Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/tyvKNccgqN”
Start a conversation with an AI agent that can remember past chats.
"A founder of a travel company wants to create an automated chatbot to answer customer questions. They start by describing the conversation flow in Markdown (e.g., 'User asks destination information, bot responds with relevant details'). They then use the basic-memory skill to train the AI agent to retain this information and recall it for subsequent conversations. The outcome is an effective and efficient customer support system."

- •You want to reduce the time spent re-explaining context to your AI
- •You're looking for a more efficient way to manage knowledge and retain information in AI conversations
