Memory Buckets
Organize your AI memories into separate contexts. Your work AI never sees your personal notes. Your project AI only knows its own codebase.
The cure for context pollution. Keep every AI conversation focused and relevant.
The Problem: Context Pollution
You use AI for everything โ work coding, personal projects, creative writing, research. But every AI tool treats all your memories as one big pile.
- โYour work AI mentions your personal side project in a meeting
- โYour creative writing AI suggests code patterns from your dev work
- โContext from 3 months ago pollutes today's focused conversation
- โToken waste: AI processes 1000 memories when it only needs 10
Interactive Demo
Click each bucket to see what memories AI can access in that context.
Work Bucket
AI can only access these 4 memories
"Use TypeScript strict mode, never any"
via ChatGPT
"Sprint planning every Monday 10am, standup 9:30am"
via Claude
"Deploy to Vercel preview before merging to main"
via Cursor

"Reading: Designing Data-Intensive Applications, Ch. 7"
via ChatGPT
"RAG vs fine-tuning: RAG better for frequently changing data"
via Claude
"Mem0 achieves 91.6 on LoCoMo benchmark with new algorithm"
via Gemini

Why Buckets Beat Flat Memory
Focused Context
AI only loads memories from the active bucket. Your work AI doesn't know about your side projects, and vice versa.
Fewer Tokens, Faster Responses
Instead of sending 500 memories, AI gets 50 relevant ones. Lower cost, faster responses, better accuracy.
Privacy by Design
Personal memories never leak into work contexts. Share a work bucket with your team while keeping personal memories private.
Easy Cleanup
Delete a project? Delete its bucket. No more orphaned memories cluttering your AI's context.
Auto-Categorization
AI Memory automatically suggests the right bucket for new conversations based on content analysis.
Cross-Bucket Search
Need to find something across all buckets? Global search indexes everything while maintaining isolation.

MCP Server Integration
Memory Buckets work seamlessly with AI Memory's MCP Server. When you switch buckets in any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code), the AI only sees memories from that bucket.
# Switch to Work bucket via MCP
{"tool": "aimemory_switch_bucket", "bucket": "work"}
# AI now only sees Work memories
{"tool": "aimemory_search", "query": "project architecture"}
# Returns only Work-bucket results
