How To Use Mem AI

Getting Started (2 minutes)

Go to mem.ai and click Sign up. You'll need a modern browser (Chrome, Edge, or Safari).
Create an account with your email or Google.
You'll land in a clean, minimal workspace. Think of Mem as a smart notepad that organizes itself.
Click New Mem or just start typing anywhere. Write a thought, paste a link, or drop in meeting notes.
Don't worry about folders or tags. Mem auto-links related notes in the background using AI. When you search later, it surfaces connected ideas.
Use Mem Chat (the AI assistant) to ask questions about your notes. Try "What did I decide about the project timeline?" and it pulls from everything you've written.

Use these to get started.

Meeting notes: Paste in your transcript or type quick bullets: decisions made, action items, follow-up questions. Mem will auto-link to related past meetings.
Project scratch pad: Dump ideas, links, and rough outlines for a project. Don't organize it - just capture. When you need it later, search or ask Mem Chat.
Knowledge base: Save articles, tutorials, or how-to's you want to remember. Paste the link or write a summary. Later, ask Mem "How do I set up that automation again?" and it finds your note.
Daily journal: Write a quick end-of-day brain dump. What you worked on, what you learned, what you're worried about. Over time, Mem becomes a searchable archive of your thinking.

Let go of folders. Mem is designed to work without manual organization. Just write and search. The AI does the filing.
Ask Mem Chat for summaries. If you took 20 pages of notes on a topic, ask "Summarize everything I know about [project name]." Mem condenses it into a few paragraphs.
Use it for quick capture. Mem has a mobile app and browser extension. See an article you want to save? Clip it to Mem in one tap. It syncs everywhere.

Team collaboration. Mem is personal. It's not built for shared wikis or team docs like Notion. Use it for your own thinking, not group knowledge.
Structured databases. If you need tables, calendars, or project boards, go with Notion or Airtable. Mem is freeform notes only.
