Gemini + PersistMemory
Memory for Gemini that outlives the conversation
Give Gemini long-term memory it can search: decisions, commitments and documents, connected over MCP and owned by you rather than by the model.
What Gemini forgets
A large context window is not memory. It holds what you paste into it, for as long as the conversation lasts, and remembers none of it tomorrow.
Recall does not depend on pasting the history in again.
What you told it once stays available across conversations and across tools.
Every answer carries the source it came from.
Connecting it
Add this to ~/.gemini/settings.json and restart Gemini.
