Memory & Dashboard
Bom keeps a memory of facts, preferences, and past work, and shows the whole thing as a graph on the Dashboard.
How memory works
Bom writes memories into your Bom account's encrypted store on MongoDB Atlas, embeds them with OpenAI text-embedding-3-small, and retrieves them later with vector search. That's what lets Bom pull the right past context into a new thread instead of re-asking you.
- Facts and preferences Bom picks up in a conversation can be saved for later.
- Relevant memories are pulled into future threads by similarity, not keyword matching.
- Because memory lives on your account rather than one machine, you see the same memory from any PC you've paired.
Your files, screenshots, and running agent stay local. It's the memory entries themselves — what Bom chose to remember — that live in the encrypted account store.
The Dashboard graph
The Dashboard page on the desktop app draws your memory as an interactive graph. You can search, zoom, pan, inspect a node to read the full entry, or hide groups while you explore.
Learning from Files
Use Learn on the Dashboard to scan the current working directory, summarize files, and build links between related information.
- A progress modal shows the learning stages while the scan is running.
- You can cancel learning at any time.
- You can also clear learned file-summary entries later from Dashboard.
