Membase gets smarter the more context it has. The main ways to bring your context in are: import past conversations, let your agents capture context as you work, save context from Chat in Dashboard, connect external apps, and import an existing knowledge base into the wiki.Documentation Index

Chat History Import
The fastest way to bootstrap your knowledge base. If you’ve been using ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, you already have months of context in those tools. Chat History Import brings it all into Membase at once.
Export from your LLM client
Download your conversation history using each platform’s export feature (ChatGPT Settings > Data controls > Export data, etc.).
Upload to Membase
Go to the Sources page in your dashboard, scroll to the Chat History section, and upload the exported file. Membase accepts the native export formats from each platform.
Live Agent Conversations
Once you’ve connected an agent via the Quickstart, context is captured automatically as you chat. Your agent callsadd_memory whenever it detects something worth remembering: preferences, decisions, project details, and more.
add_wiki when you share factual, reference-style knowledge worth keeping as a document (specs, runbooks, stable notes). The two tools route context to the right store automatically.
You don’t need to do anything special. Just chat normally, and your knowledge base grows in the background.
Chat in Dashboard
Chat in Dashboard can also save durable personal context as memory, or create wiki documents when you ask it to save factual reference material. This is useful when you want to add or clarify context without opening an external agent.App Integrations
Your context doesn’t only live in AI conversations. Connect external apps from the Sources page to bring in context from the tools you use every day.Gmail
Project updates, team discussions, and action items from your inbox.
Google Calendar
Meetings, deadlines, and schedule context.
Slack
Messages, threads, and channel discussions from your workspace.
For the full list of supported and upcoming integrations, see the Apps guide.
Obsidian Vault Import
If you already keep notes in Obsidian (or any folder of markdown files), you can import the whole vault as wiki documents in one shot. Top-level folders become collections,[[wikilinks]] are preserved, and documents land in the Wiki tab instead of the memory graph, so they stay searchable as stable reference material.
See the Obsidian connector guide for the full import flow, folder flattening behavior, size limits, and how duplicates are handled.
What Gets Captured
| Source | Examples of extracted context | Lands in |
|---|---|---|
| Chat History Import | Past preferences, project decisions, technical stacks, recurring patterns across months of conversations | Memory |
| Agent Conversations | New preferences, decisions made during the session, project details discussed in real time | Memory |
| Chat in Dashboard | Durable personal context or factual reference material you ask Chat to save | Memory or Wiki |
| Gmail | Project updates, action items, team communication, client context | Memory |
| Google Calendar | Meeting outcomes, deadlines, scheduling patterns, recurring events | Memory |
| Slack | Team discussions, channel updates, thread summaries, shared decisions | Memory |
| Obsidian Vault Import | Reference docs, specs, personal notes, linked concept pages | Wiki |
