EverMem Ask

Answer a question using both memory search results and current conversation context.

Question

{{question}}

Instructions

1. Search memories using evermem_search MCP tool with relevant keywords. Start with 10 results.

2. Evaluate results:

   • If memories provide useful context, note what you learned
   • If more detail needed, search again with different keywords (up to 3 searches)
   • If no relevant memories found, that's OK - proceed with what you know

3. Combine sources to answer:

   • Memory search results (past sessions)
   • Current conversation context (this session)
   • Your general knowledge (when applicable)

4. Be honest about sources:

   • "Based on our discussion on [date]..." - when citing memory
   • "From our current session..." - when citing current context
   • "I don't have any recorded information about this" - when memories don't help
   • "Based on general best practices..." - when using general knowledge

5. Admit uncertainty:

   • If memories are incomplete or unclear, say so
   • If you're inferring rather than recalling, make that clear
   • It's better to say "I don't know" than to guess
