Memory work

[hunlight5781-droid]

Hello,
Want to discuss how the overall memory feature works? As I tried asking chat to make me a json memory file. I imported it, it gave me message - imported successfully, but stored memory still empty says nothing there. Also feature about it autoamtically adding/storing important stuff into the memory doesnt seem to work or I got confused about that.

DeepSeek can save to memory via the memory_write tool. It produces output like <BDS:memory_write key_name="user_name" importance="always">EdgeTypE</BDS:memory_write>. When the extension sees such output, it hides it from the UI and stores it in the extension's memory. If you ask DeepSeek to write a memory JSON for export, it can't do that, to export existing memories, just click the Export button in the BDS menu.

Exported JSON files should look like this:

{
  favorite_book: {
    value: Arthur Clarke / Childhood's End,
    importance: called
  },
  profession: {
    value: software developer,
    importance: always
  },
  user_name: {
    value: EdgeTypE,
    importance: always
  }
}

You can import a JSON file in the same format by clicking the Import button. Stored memory entries are injected into every message you send, those parts are also hidden from the UI.
<BDS:memory_calls importance="called">favorite_book: Arthur Clarke / Childhood's End</BDS:memory_calls>
<BDS:memory_calls importance="always">profession: software developer</BDS:memory_calls>
<BDS:memory_calls importance="always">user_name: EdgeTypE</BDS:memory_calls>

soo basically I need to write in the chat smth like - please remember all most important topics/solutions/tweaks in our chat. and then its gonna save them in memory? Because so far he never did that. thansk for explaining btw!

It should normally work without any reminder. But since the memory system relies on an injected system prompt, not something natively built into DeepSeek, the AI sometimes forgets to use it. Just one of the technical limitations of being a browser extension.

Im trying to figure this out I chatted for 2 days straight (doing some project) and it never ever added anything to the memory list on its own, I tried to ask for json write memory_write ect its giving me json files, I try to import it gives message import successful but those never pop up.

EDIT

I wrote - format must be and posted your json example and now I could improt it. bit strange how it all works. mby im missing smth.

You don't need to ask DeepSeek to write a memory JSON. The Export/Import system is just there so you can easily move your stored memories between devices. If there's something you want DeepSeek to remember and it's not using the memory_write tool on its own, just give it a reminder. Something like "Save ... to your memory" or "Use the memory_write tool to remember that ..." works fine. The extension should process the AI's response automatically from there.
