How are episodes created?

Automatically. After every conversation Alma compresses the transcript into a structured summary (topic, decisions, outcomes) and stores it as an episode. You can edit or delete any episode from the UI.

What is the difference between an episode and a memory?

A memory is a discrete fact ("user prefers TypeScript"). An episode is a narrative summary ("on 2026-04-12 we decided to migrate from REST to GraphQL because of N+1 issues"). Different shape, different retrieval rules.

How are procedures learned?

From repeated behavioural patterns across conversations. When the AI sees you consistently doing X before Y, it captures that as a procedure ("when deploying, always run tests first"). You can also create procedures manually.

Can I edit episodes and procedures?

Yes. Both have full CRUD UI: edit any field, delete, bulk-delete, or bulk-import. You stay in control of what the AI is allowed to remember.

Episodes & Procedures

Episodes are structured summaries of past conversations — what was discussed, what was decided, what was learned. Procedures are step-by-step patterns the AI has observed from your repeated behaviour. Together with semantic Memories they form Alma's three-layer architecture: facts, events and workflows, each retrieved differently and scored independently.

Episodes are structured summaries of past conversations — what was discussed, decided, and learned. Procedures are step-by-step instructions learned from behavioral patterns. Together they form the experiential and behavioral layers of Alma's memory.
