Conversations are the main interaction mode with Memex. They follow a chat structure and are made up of pairs of user-Memex interactions called turns.
Click on the Home button at the top of the left panel. You can then type your prompt for the new conversation. Starting a conversation from the Home screen will create a new project, and be assigned to it.
To create a conversation within an existing project, first navigate to the project you want to use from the Home screen, and write your prompt in the input field.
A conversations can only part of a single project, but you can have multiple conversations be a part of the same project.
A project is a structured way to organize and manage your work with Memex. It's a container for your tasks, files, and conversations related to a specific goal or area of focus. In the context of your file system, it's a specific directory in your Workspace.
Projects help organize your work and ensures that all actions, code and files are associated with the correct context. It also helps ensure that the environment you set up in one conversations is available and ready for other conversations in the same project.
A conversations can only part of a single project, but you can have multiple conversations be a part of the same project.
Each project has its own page, with the following sections:
Project Overview: A description of the project rendered from a README.md file is available in the project directory.
Conversations: A list of the conversations that are part of the project. Clicking on a conversations will take you to it.
Rules for AI: A description of the project rendered from a rules.md file is available in the project directory, under .memex.
Code: A browser of the assets present in the project directory.
Note: Currently, non-code assets are also show in this section. We plan to introduce a "Data" browser in a future release.
To create a new project, click on "+ New Project" in the Home screen.
You'll be prompted to choose between:
Create new project under the Workspace directory. You'll likely use this when starting a project from scratch, and can provide a project name.
Select existing folder to base your project on. This is helpful when you have an existing directory or project you'd like Memex to work on.
Memex Templates are helpful starting points for your projects, and can be browserd under Templates in the Home screen.
A Template has the same structure as a project. When you start working with a template, the first thing it will do it's to clone itself into your local environment, and will start being available as one of your projects.
