# How automatic memory works

Foxora Runtime produces different memory records as work proceeds. The categories have different purposes and lifecycles.

*Studio interface in English. Sample data.*

## Read the categories

1. Use `Conversations` for thread and message records tied to prior exchanges.
2. Use `Observations` for facts or events extracted from activity.
3. Use `Working` for active goals, decisions, and structured task context.
4. Use `Semantic` for durable knowledge intended for later recall.
5. Check the scope and time before assuming a record applies to the current project or user.

## Expected result

A new task can recall relevant context without replaying every old transcript. Automatic capture is not a guarantee of truth or permanence: review important facts, keep sensitive data out of prompts, and correct the owning source when a record becomes wrong.
