Explorer
The Memory Explorer provides a hierarchical browser for navigating memory objects organized in folders. It gives administrators a file-system-like interface to browse, organize, and manage large knowledge bases without needing to search or filter by type.
Browsing the memory tree
Section titled “Browsing the memory tree”The Explorer displays your memory objects in a tree structure with expandable folders. To navigate:
- Expand a folder by clicking its name or the expand icon to reveal its children (sub-folders and objects).
- Collapse a folder to hide its contents and reduce visual clutter.
- Click an object to open its detail view, where you can inspect and edit its content.
The tree loads incrementally — only the children of the currently expanded folder are fetched, keeping navigation fast even with thousands of objects.
Folders vs objects
Section titled “Folders vs objects”The Explorer contains two kinds of nodes:
| Node type | Description |
|---|---|
| Folder | An organizational container that groups related objects and sub-folders. Folders do not contain data themselves — they exist purely for structure. |
| Object | A memory object that contains actual business data. Objects always conform to a schema and are the nodes that agents query during conversations. |
Creating folders
Section titled “Creating folders”-
Navigate to the parent location where you want the new folder (or stay at the root level).
-
Select Create Folder.
-
Enter a name for the folder. Names must be non-empty and should be descriptive of the contents.
-
The folder appears immediately in the tree and is ready to receive objects or sub-folders.
Renaming nodes
Section titled “Renaming nodes”Both folders and objects can be renamed directly from the Explorer:
-
Select the node (folder or object) you want to rename.
-
Choose the Rename action.
-
Enter the new name and confirm.
Renaming a folder does not affect the objects inside it. Renaming an object updates its display name in the Explorer but does not change the object’s content or key in memory.
Moving nodes
Section titled “Moving nodes”Objects and folders can be moved to different locations in the tree:
-
Select the node you want to move.
-
Choose the Move action. The Explorer displays a list of valid target folders.
-
Select the destination folder (or root level) and confirm.
Deleting nodes
Section titled “Deleting nodes”-
Select the node you want to delete.
-
Choose the Delete action.
-
For folders: the folder and all its child nodes are removed. If the folder contains objects, those objects are also deleted from memory.
-
For objects: you must confirm that the underlying memory object should also be deleted. This removes both the Explorer entry and the memory object itself, including its edges and embeddings.
Path navigation
Section titled “Path navigation”The Explorer provides breadcrumb navigation showing your current position in the tree. Each breadcrumb segment is clickable, allowing you to jump directly to any ancestor folder without collapsing and re-expanding the tree.
For example, if you are viewing an object at Knowledge Base > Products > Printers > LaserJet 500, you can click Products to jump back to the Products folder level.
Viewing memory neighbors
Section titled “Viewing memory neighbors”From an object’s detail view in the Explorer, you can see its neighbors — other objects connected via edges in the knowledge graph. This provides a quick way to understand an object’s relationships without switching to the graph view.
Neighbors are displayed with:
- The edge type describing the relationship (e.g.,
References,BelongsTo,RelatesTo) - The direction of the relationship (outgoing or incoming)
- A link to the connected object
Generating embeddings
Section titled “Generating embeddings”When an object’s content changes or when you want to refresh its semantic search index, you can trigger embedding generation from the Explorer:
-
Open the object’s detail view.
-
Select Refresh Embeddings.
-
The platform re-indexes the object using its schema’s embedding configuration, making it discoverable through updated semantic search queries.
