Memory Integration
All transformations can leverage the memory system:- Search memory before transformation for personalized output
- Store preferences when user accepts/rejects suggestions
- Learn writing style from user’s edits and corrections
The more you use transformations, the more they adapt to your style. The AI learns your preferences for tone, length, and formatting.
