Advanced control features

Memex is always willing and ready to do work for you, but there might be use-cases or specific workflows where you might preffer to have more fine-grained control over the workflow.

There are two core advanced control features: Code Execution Approval and Turns Control.

Both features can be managed from the settings panel (wrench icon) under the conversation input. These features add a whole new layer of control to Memex, helping you ensure it doesn't do any unwanted work.

Code Execution Approval

This features gives you the ability to have Memex ask for approval before running each code block. When turned on, you'll be able to review each code block to make sure it aligns with your expectations, and select if you'd like Memex to run it or skip it so you can provide more guidance.

Code Approval in action

After you choose to Run or Skip a specific code block, Memex will add a small visible note to let you know which action you selected if you need to review your work. This note also helps Memex know what action it took with that block, and inform its next steps accordingly.

Turns Control

With this feature you can set a maximum number of turns Memex can go through autonomously between user commands before stopping. This can be helpful when you want tighter control on specific parts of your projects, or just generally prefer to be more in the loop of the workflow.

Turn Control in action

The number of turns resets whenever there is a user message or a new conversation is started.
