Visualizing Your Memory Network in Ditto

Ditto’s memory network visualization is one of its most powerful and unique features. Unlike traditional AI assistants that treat each conversation as isolated, Ditto builds a comprehensive memory graph that shows the connections between your ideas, questions, and conversations.

What is the Memory Network?

The memory network is Ditto’s visual representation of its “artificial hippocampus” - the system that stores and organizes all your interactions. It creates a rich knowledge graph of your preferences, experiences, and context that evolves over time.

Key Features

Interactive Visualization

  • Dynamic Graph View: See all your memories represented as nodes in an interactive network
  • Hierarchical Organization: View parent-child relationships between memories up to 5 levels deep
  • Color-Coded Depth: Easily identify memory depth with intuitive color coding
  • Smooth Navigation: Pan, zoom, and explore your memory landscape with fluid controls

Memory Node Details

  • Quick Preview: Hover over any node to see a preview of the memory content
  • Full Context: Click on nodes to view the complete memory, including:
    • Original prompts and responses
    • Creation timestamps
    • Related memories
  • Management Tools: Delete unwanted memories directly from the network view

How to Access Your Memory Network

  1. During any conversation with Ditto, click on the “Memory Network” icon in the toolbar
  2. Select any message to view as the root node of your memory network
  3. Ditto will generate a visualization showing all memories connected to that point

Practical Applications

Knowledge Management

Use the memory network to organize complex research topics and see how different concepts connect.

Learning Progress

Track your learning journey by visualizing how new information builds on previous knowledge.

Creative Projects

Map out brainstorming sessions and see how ideas evolve and connect over time.

Decision Making

Review past decisions and their contexts to improve future choices.

Technical Implementation

Behind the scenes, Ditto uses advanced vector embedding and graph visualization technologies:

  • Data Structure: Memories are stored in a hierarchical graph with parent-child relationships
  • Visualization Engine: Interactive network rendered using the vis.js library
  • Node Positioning: Smart layout algorithms that preserve spatial relationships between sessions
  • Performance Optimization: Efficient rendering of complex networks with hundreds of nodes

Coming Soon

Future updates to the Memory Network visualization will include:

  • Memory tagging and categorization
  • Custom node grouping
  • Enhanced filtering options
  • Memory importance weighting
  • Export and sharing capabilities

The Memory Network visualization makes Ditto not just an AI assistant, but a true knowledge companion that grows and evolves with you over time.
