Quickstart

Create your first space, add knowledge by chatting, and watch Naumu build your memory.

Updated July 22, 20264 min read

This walkthrough takes you from an empty account to a living memory in a few minutes.

A few terms you will see throughout:

  • A space is a single workspace, with its own memory, chat threads, and members.
  • A memory is the structured map of your knowledge.
  • Nodes are the things you care about, and edges are how they relate.

You will not draw any of this by hand. You describe what you are working on, and Naumu proposes the structure for you to review.

1. Create a space

Your home screen lists every space you can reach. From there, select New Space. Give it a name - your project, team, or topic, for example - and select Create. Naumu opens the new space and drops you straight into chat.

One space per coherent body of knowledge works best - a project, a product, a research area. You can always create more later.

2. Tell Naumu what you are working on

The space opens on a chat thread. Type a message describing what you are working on, in plain language - the same way you would brief a colleague. There is nothing to format and no syntax to learn.

You can also paste raw material directly: meeting notes, a brief, a list of people and projects, a chunk of a document. The more concrete detail you give, the richer your first memory will be.

3. Review the proposed changes

Naumu reads your message and replies with a proposal: a card showing the changes it wants to make to your memory. The changes are laid out as a diff - the new nodes, edges, and types it intends to add, with a small interactive preview of how they connect.

Nothing is saved yet. This is a draft for you to approve, so take a moment to read it. Each item is something Naumu extracted from what you said.

Every proposal is a checklist of new nodes and connections - uncheck anything you'd rather skip, then Accept to write the rest to your memory.

4. Accept the changes

When the proposal looks right, select Accept to apply it. The nodes and edges are written into your memory and the proposal card updates to Changes applied. If you would rather start over, select Reject and tell Naumu what to change instead.

You do not have to take everything - uncheck any item you would rather skip, and only the checked rows are saved. For the full diff workflow, see Asking Naumu.

5. Explore your memory

Open the Memory pane from the space navigation to see everything at once. Pan and zoom to see how your nodes connect, and select any node to open its details, where you can read and edit its content and see everything it links to. The proposal card also carries its own small graph preview - expand the card and switch it from the list to the graph to see just the nodes that change.

While you are here, glance at the schema: the set of node and edge types Naumu inferred from your knowledge. The schema is the shape of your space, and it grows as you add more.

6. Keep building by chatting

Every later message works the same way. Add more notes, correct something, or ask Naumu to connect two ideas, and it proposes the next diff. Your memory compounds as you go - review, accept, repeat.

7. Invite a teammate

A space is more useful shared. Open the space Members panel and invite a teammate by email. Once they join, they see the same memory, the topics they have access to, and any AI agents in the space. The whole team works from one shared source of truth.

Next, read Topics - how a space is organized and shared in one move.

  • Core concepts - the vocabulary behind spaces, nodes, edges, and the schema.
  • Topics - how a space is organized and shared in one move.
  • Asking Naumu - how chat reads your memory and proposes diffs.
  • Claude - connect AI clients like Claude and ChatGPT to your memory over MCP, so they can read and build it too.
