The problem
Conversations contain valuable information, but that information rarely remains accessible.
Decisions get buried in transcripts.
Commitments are forgotten.
Important context disappears between meetings.
The solution
Memories transforms unstructured conversations into structured information that can be searched and retrieved using natural language.
Core capabilities
Conversation ingestion
Accepts conversations as text or audio into a workspace.
Audio transcription integration
Converts recorded audio to text via a speech model.
AI-generated summaries
Produces a concise summary of each conversation.
Decision extraction
Identifies what was agreed.
Action item identification
Captures owners, tasks and deadlines.
Persistent knowledge storage
Stores structured records for later retrieval.
Natural-language retrieval
Answers questions about past conversations.
Workspace-based authentication
Scopes data to workspaces and their members.
Capability status to be confirmed by the builder.
Architecture
How it works
- SummariesDecisionsActionsMemories
Component
Structured Extraction
The model's output is shaped into defined types — summaries, decisions, actions and memories — rather than free text.
Select any step to read how it works.
Interactive demo
From conversation to answer
An illustrative simulation — not a live model or backend.
Conversation
“We agreed to finish the API integration by Friday. Rahul will handle authentication, and Priya will complete the dashboard.”
Structured output will appear here.

Technical decisions
Why asynchronous processing?
Transcription and LLM calls can take seconds to minutes. Running them as background jobs keeps ingestion responsive, avoids request timeouts, and lets failed steps be retried independently.
Why PostgreSQL?
Extracted output is structured — summaries, decisions, actions — and belongs to workspaces and users. A relational database models those relationships directly and keeps the system on one well-understood store.
Why structured memory extraction?
Free-text summaries are hard to query. Extracting typed records means a decision or an action item can be listed, filtered and retrieved on its own, rather than re-reading whole transcripts.
Why separate transcription and LLM processing?
They are different problems with different models and failure modes. Keeping them as separate stages means each can be swapped, retried or debugged without touching the other, and text input can skip transcription entirely.
How does retrieval work?
A question is matched against stored records, and the relevant ones are passed to the model as context for the answer. Improving the matching with semantic search is on the roadmap.
What are the operational considerations?
Model availability and latency, cost per conversation, handling of audio files, keeping secrets out of the client, and keeping development and production environments cleanly separated.
Engineering challenges
Learnings from building and deploying the system. Some remain active areas of work.
- 01
Authentication and workspace membership
Making sure every record is scoped to the right workspace and only visible to its members.
- 02
Development vs production environments
Keeping configuration, credentials and data separate so behaviour in development matches production.
- 03
Asynchronous job processing
Tracking job state, handling retries and surfacing progress to the user.
- 04
Model integration and availability
Dealing with provider latency, rate limits and occasional unavailability.
- 05
Audio transcription and storage handling
Managing file sizes, formats and where audio lives before and after transcription.
