How It Works
- Message processing: Messages are batched and processed through the memory pipeline
- Entity extraction: People, projects, decisions mentioned in messages become graph entities
- Deduplication: The guard system prevents duplicate information from chat noise
- Context: Thread context is preserved — conversations are understood as a whole
Example Queries
- "What was decided about the API redesign in #engineering?"
- "What did Sarah share about the customer feedback?"
- "Summarize today's standup discussion"
