How memory works

Two kinds of memory

Everything you capture becomes one of two things:

• Facts - short, atomic statements (“Prefers window seats”, “Ships on Fridays”). Best for preferences, details, and decisions.
• Sources - longer material like articles, transcripts, and PDFs. Mindola splits these into chunks it can search and quote.

A short note becomes a fact. A long note, link, or file becomes a source. Facts and citations goes deeper into how the two work together.

It organizes itself

You don’t file anything. Mindola reads what you capture, decides which space it belongs in, and creates new spaces as your life needs them. You can always move things later, but you rarely need to.

How answers stay grounded

When you ask a question, Mindola pulls the most relevant facts and source chunks from your knowledge and answers from those. When it quotes a source, it shows a citation you can click to see the original.

If it doesn’t have something, it says so instead of inventing it.

Keeping it accurate

Life changes. When a fact is out of date, correct it in chat or edit it in Mind - the old version is replaced, not duplicated. The review flow walks you through facts that might need a check; see search and review.

Your memory is private

It’s encrypted, it’s only yours, and nothing leaves it unless you share it through a lens.
