Memory

Memory is where Apogee stores everything it knows about you and your organization. It's a single page with multiple layers, each playing a different role in how Apogee researches and responds.

How Memory Works

Not all knowledge is used the same way. Memory has two modes:

• Always active - Your personal memory and org knowledge are included in every conversation. Apogee always knows your role, your organization's positions, and your policy priorities.
• Searched on demand - Files and artifacts are searched when relevant to your question. Apogee pulls from them when it needs specific details, data, or prior analyses.

This means Apogee's answers always reflect who you are and what your organization cares about, with the ability to draw on deeper reference materials when the question calls for it.

Memory Layers

Personal Memory

Context about you as an individual - your role, focus areas, committees you track, how you prefer information presented. Apogee learns this from conversations automatically.

Examples:

• "Senior Policy Analyst focused on telecommunications"
• "Tracks Senate Commerce and House Energy & Commerce"
• "Prefers executive summaries with bill numbers"

Org Knowledge

Your organization's institutional knowledge - mission statements, policy positions, legislative priorities. This ensures Apogee frames every answer in the context of what your organization cares about and where it stands.

Examples:

• Organization mission and policy areas
• Positions on specific legislation ("support risk-based AI framework")
• Quarterly priorities ("federal privacy legislation is top priority")

Files

Documents you upload to inform future research. Drag and drop files directly onto the Memory page, or click "Browse files."

Good candidates include:

• Position papers and policy briefs
• Stakeholder and contact lists
• Internal memos and strategy documents
• Data files (CSVs, spreadsheets)

Supported formats: PDF, Word (.docx), spreadsheets (.csv, .xlsx), and plain text.

Artifacts

Structured outputs that Apogee saves from your conversations - bill comparison tables, funding analyses, stakeholder maps, impact assessments. These accumulate automatically so institutional knowledge builds over time without extra effort.

Each artifact includes the source conversation for full context.

Connected Sources (Enterprise)

Enterprise plans can connect internal systems - Salesforce, SharePoint, internal databases - so Apogee can draw on your organization's existing data. Connected sources appear as additional tabs on the Memory page, with items synced automatically.

Individual vs Team

• Individual plans see the Memory page with their personal memory, org knowledge, files, and artifacts.
• Team plans see Shared Memory - the same page, but files, artifacts, and org knowledge are shared across the team. When one member uploads a stakeholder list or Apogee saves a policy comparison, everyone benefits.

This is especially valuable for:

• Staff transitions - institutional knowledge persists when team members change roles
• Cross-team collaboration - policy, comms, and government affairs draw from the same base
• Consistent analysis - Apogee reflects your organization's accumulated understanding

Managing Memory

From the Memory page you can:

• Filter by tab: All, Artifacts, Files, Org Knowledge, Personal
• Search across all layers by title or description
• Remove any entry by hovering over its card
• Upload files by dragging onto the upload zone at the top
