Essentials · Lesson 6 / 6 ~5 min Beginner
You’ve saved knowledge and connected an AI tool. Now comes the payoff: start work without re-explaining your background. The tool reads your context from Mem when the session starts.

​
What you’ll accomplish

You’ll start work in an AI tool and see it use a decision you saved earlier — without pasting any background.

​
Watch how it’s done

The demo uses Codex as an example.

​
Your turn

1

Open a fresh session in a connected AI tool

Start a new session in Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or another tool you connected. Don’t paste any background context.
2

Ask it to continue from a past decision

Ask something only your Mem can answer. For example:
Use your own saved decision if you have a different one.
3

Watch how it answers

The tool reads your context from Mem and answers from your saved knowledge — instead of asking you to restate everything from scratch.
4

See what the tool receives (optional)

In Mem, open Context → Preview to see what a connected AI sees before it starts.

​
What you should see

The AI recalls your saved decision without you re-explaining it.
Not working? Make sure the tool is connected (lesson 5) and Mem is running. If the tool skipped the connection, run the connect prompt again in a new session.

​
Why this matters

This is the Reuse step — the last piece of the loop. Capture → Recall → Connect → Reuse You leave knowledge once, and it keeps working across tools and sessions.

​
Go deeper

Want to see what a connected AI receives at session start? Read the context page in the Nowledge Mem Docs.

You’ve completed the Essentials course

Capture → Recall → Connect → Reuse
The full loop is yours: leave knowledge, bring it back, connect your AI, and stop re-explaining. For everything beyond this course, see the Nowledge Mem Docs.
