Core Concepts

Essential terminology for working with Anona Memory.

Memory Space

Isolation boundary per tenant/application. A Memory Space is where memories for a specific app or context live. Multiple spaces can exist within your organization; each is fully isolated from the others. Spaces are created with a name - the server assigns the permanent space_id you use in every other call:

POST /v1/spaces/
{"name": "customer-support-bot"}

# -> {"space_id": "spc_a1b2c3d4", "name": "customer-support-bot", ...}

API reference: Spaces API

Retain

Store a memory. POST /v1/memories

client.add_memory(
    space_id="spc_a1b2c3d4",
    content="Alice works at Google and specializes in distributed systems"
)

The content is embedded and indexed for semantic search automatically. API reference: Memories API

Recall

Query memories semantically. POST /v1/search

results = client.search(
    space_id="spc_a1b2c3d4",
    query="What is Alice's expertise?"
)

Recall finds memories by meaning, not keyword overlap. API reference: Search API

Reflect (Insights)

Synthesize insights across accumulated memories. POST /v1/insights

insights = client.insights(
    space_id="spc_a1b2c3d4",
    query="What have we learned about Alice's career?"
)

Unlike Recall (which returns raw matching memories), Reflect runs an agentic pass over the space and returns a synthesized answer. API reference: Insights API

API Key

Every request needs Authorization: Bearer <key>. Keys come in two flavors:

anona_live_... - production
anona_test_... - testing

Created and revoked from the dashboard (Settings → API Keys). The full key is shown once at creation; afterward only the prefix is visible.

Tenant Isolation

Each organization’s memories live in their own database schema - no shared tables. A space_id from one organization is meaningless (and inaccessible) to another, enforced both at the gateway (authorization check) and the database layer.
