What Is Cross-Platform Memory?

The Problem

Every AI tool starts with a blank slate. Ask Claude to research a competitor today, and tomorrow it has no memory of what it found. Switch to ChatGPT for a follow-up question, and you're starting from zero. Your context, preferences, and past research live in isolated conversations that each AI tool forgets.

How Trovella Solves This

Trovella acts as a shared memory layer that sits behind all your AI tools. When you connect Trovella to Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini through MCP, every tool can:

• Store research findings that persist beyond a single conversation
• Search past research to build on what you've already learned
• Access your preferences so recommendations feel personal
• Resume interrupted work even in a different tool or a new session

Your AI tools stay the same — you use them exactly as before. Trovella works in the background, giving each tool access to the same pool of knowledge.

What Gets Remembered

Trovella stores structured research artifacts, not raw conversation logs. When an AI tool uses Trovella's research skills, the findings are broken down into:

• Analyses — detailed examinations of a topic
• Syntheses — combined insights from multiple sources
• Comparisons — side-by-side evaluations
• Summaries — condensed key takeaways
• Findings — individual facts or conclusions with confidence scores
• Source lists — references to where information came from

These artifacts are indexed for both keyword and semantic search, so you can find past research by asking natural questions like "what did I learn about competitor pricing?" — not just exact keyword matches.

How Search Works

When an AI tool asks Trovella to find past research, it uses hybrid search — combining two approaches:

• Keyword search finds exact matches and specific terms (good for product names, technical terms, numbers)
• Semantic search finds conceptually similar content (good for "research about market trends" matching an artifact titled "Q3 Industry Analysis")

The results are merged using a ranking algorithm that surfaces the most relevant artifacts regardless of which search method found them.

Privacy and Isolation

Your memory is yours alone. Trovella uses database-level tenant isolation (row-level security) to ensure:

• No other user can see your stored research
• No other user's data appears in your search results
• Each Personal Access Token is scoped to your account and workspace

Your AI tools see only what you've stored through your own Trovella connection. See Data Privacy and Security for more details.

Getting Started

To start building your cross-platform memory:

1. Connect Trovella to your AI tools — create a token and configure your AI assistant
2. Run a research plan — the findings are automatically stored and searchable
3. Switch to a different tool or start a new session — your past research is already available
