AI & Memory
Notes and your memory
How notes reach your AI agents, and the switches that control it
Notes are part of your HyperMemory. Jot something down on your phone, and Claude, Codex, ChatGPT or any agent you’ve connected can recall it.
How a note becomes memory
When the AI has read a note, HyperMemory adds it to your memory graph:
- the note becomes a note node with its title, summary, type, date and searchable text;
- each notebook becomes a node the note is part of;
- the people, places and organizations the note mentions are added and linked to it.
Agents find all of this with hm_recall, alongside everything else in your memory.
Agents can read notes but never change or delete them. Notes are edited only in the Notes app.
The Memory page
Settings → Memory has three switches:
| Switch | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Memory can access notes | On | Notes are added to your memory, so agents can recall them. |
| Notes can access memory | On | Chat can use your memory — what your agents know — when answering. |
| AI enhanced notes | On (from sign-up) | The AI reads your notes. See What the AI does. |
What stays out of memory
- Private notes and notes in private notebooks.
- Everything, when Memory can access notes is off.
Which memory graph
Notes go to your default memory graph, or the one chosen under Settings → Memory if your plan has several. See Memory graphs.
