Saving every message can make retrieval harder
A feature may produce questions, temporary code, wrong answers, and revision requests. Save all of it and you may not know which conclusion to follow later. What matters is not conversation length, but what will change the next action.
Ask whether you are likely to need it next week or whether another AI needs to know it. If neither is true, you may not need to keep it.
Keep these four things first
Check whether customer data or credentials are mixed into the content before saving it. A short title, project name, and relevant file location often help retrieval more than a long transcript.
- Accepted artifact: the code or document you used and its version
- Reason for the decision: why you chose it and rejected another option
- Verification record: tests that passed and conditions not yet checked
- Reusable prompt: a reviewed request with its purpose
Save only what you choose
Connecting an AI to Wellnote does not automatically collect the whole conversation. You choose artifacts and prompts to save and can search them later. Start with one decision and one result from today's work.
