Ready to give your AI persistent memory?
Connect ChatGPT, Claude, or any MCP-compatible AI assistant to your personal memory server.
ActingWeb turns your AI assistant into a context-aware partner by giving it persistent memory. Here are the most valuable ways to use it:
Decision Memory & Context
Stop re-litigating decisions. Store why you chose AWS over GCP, why you rejected vendor X, or what your approval thresholds are.
Example: “We chose AWS due to existing infra expertise” → AI recalls this 6 months later when cloud strategy comes up again.
Value: Faster decisions, consistent strategy, preserved institutional knowledge
Travel Intelligence
Your AI remembers you prefer aisle seats, need vegetarian meals, visited Tokyo 2 years ago, and hate Frankfurt layovers.
Example: “Plan Tokyo trip” → AI loads preferences, past itinerary, hotel choices, dietary needs automatically.
Value: Zero-friction planning, personalized recommendations, no repeated questions
Health & Safety Context
Store allergies, medications, chronic conditions, and dietary restrictions so AI can make safe recommendations.
Example: “What pain reliever?” → AI checks: “You’re allergic to aspirin and taking blood thinners – use acetaminophen.”
Value: Safety-first recommendations, medication tracking, health history continuity
Personal Operating Manual
Teach your AI how you work best: communication preferences, decision-making style, work principles, and priorities.
Example: “I prefer weekly written updates over ad-hoc Slack” → AI adapts its communication style to your preferences.
Value: Better assistance, aligned recommendations, reduced friction
Automated Morning Briefing
Store your news preferences once, get personalized daily reports matching your interests and reading style.
Example: Save “Follow AI regulations, climate tech, startup funding” → Daily news filtered to these topics only.
Value: Time saved, zero noise, personalized content curation
Custom Memory Categories
Beyond the 9 defaults (health, travel, work, etc.), create private categories for recipes, projects, research, or anything else.
Example: create_type(type_name="memory_recipes") creates a private recipe collection only you can access.
Value: Unlimited organization, privacy control, specialized knowledge bases
How to Write Effective Memories
❌ “Had a long discussion about security priorities…”
✅ “Security leadership prioritizes production uptime over compliance scope”
✅ Best format: Decision/belief → Because/rationale → Context
“Chose AWS over GCP because team has 5 years AWS experience and existing infrastructure”
✅ Write as if you’ll later search: “Why did we…”, “What do I think about…”, “How do I usually…”
Natural language beats shorthand. Future-you will thank you.

Add this to your AI assistant’s custom instructions (ChatGPT Settings → Customize ChatGPT, Claude Settings → Custom Instructions, Gemini Settings)
Memory Management: - Proactively check my ActingWeb memory for relevant context before responding - Use search() to find decisions, preferences, and constraints I've shared before - When I mention decisions or important information, ask: "Should I save this?" - Store decisions with their rationale, not just outcomes - Save atomic facts, not narratives - one idea per memory - Use memory_work for professional context, memory_personal for biographical info - Check memory before making recommendations to ensure they align with my preferences Context Loading: - Before planning trips, search memory_travel for preferences and past trips - Before suggesting food, check memory_food for allergies and dietary restrictions - Before technical decisions, load memory_work for past architectural choices - Use the load_context() prompt for complex decision-making scenarios Custom Memory Categories: - I may create custom memory categories for specialized information - These are private to our conversation unless I share them explicitly - If I save to a non-existent category like "memory_recipes", it will auto-create
