+
+Basic Memory Cloud can now open as an interactive app inside supported AI conversations. Browse your knowledge base, choose where the assistant writes, and work with notes without switching to a separate browser tab.
+
+The app works in **ChatGPT web and desktop** and **Claude web and desktop** through the hosted Basic Memory Cloud connector.

+
+## Your knowledge base inside the conversation
+
+The app provides three connected views:
+
+| View | What you can do |
+|---|---|
+| **Notes** | Browse workspaces, projects, and folders; open notes; edit content; and toggle tasks |
+| **Search** | Search the current project or every project you can access and open a result in place |
+| **Graph** | Explore notes and relations, inspect connected notes, and move from the graph into the reader |
+
+The note reader renders Basic Memory Markdown, including wiki links, tables, code, Mermaid diagrams, observations, relations, and frontmatter. The embedded editor also supports comments and suggested changes.
+
+## Give the assistant the right context
+
+Choose **Use this folder** to set the workspace, project, and directory where the assistant should write new notes for the conversation. Click a note title to prepare a prompt that identifies the note by workspace, project, and permalink; add your question or instructions, then send it.
