Memory is more thanremembering facts.
Helping someone takes an understanding of their life. We’re building Apprentice’s memory around people, projects, and how things change over time, so each task starts with the context it belongs to.

The card holds the current understanding. Episodes preserve what happened, when it happened, and where it came from.
Memory needs a sense of time.
Some understanding builds over months. Some context belongs to the current task. Dates, decisions, and plans change; remembering the old version is useful only if Apprentice also knows it changed.

The earlier plan stays in the timeline. The current card uses the updated date.
Relevance depends on the work.
The useful memory changes with what you’re doing. An older preference can matter more than a recent, unrelated detail.
Maya prefers feedback on specific screens.

Different surfaces. Connected memory.
Understanding can come from a conversation, an email, work on screen, text you write, or a file. We’re connecting these surfaces around the people and projects they belong to, using the sources you choose to share.
Conversations
What you tell Apprentice, decide together, and come back to.
People, commitments, decisions, and updates.
On-screen work
The app, document, and task you’re working through.
Typed text
Notes and drafts you work on with Apprentice.
Files + locations
The material you use, what it belongs to, and where to find it.
We want Apprentice to understand your life well enough that you can return to the work without starting from scratch: the people involved, the decisions made, what changed, and where you left off.
