Personal Intuition: Associative Cross-Thread Memory

Personal Intuition is associative memory across every conversation you've ever had. Caiioo remembers things you've discussed, and as you chat, relevant memories surface automatically. It's like having a continuity of thought across all your threads.

How It Works

As you type a message, Caiioo searches your conversation history for related topics. If a past discussion is relevant, it surfaces in the message composer so you can include it, or the AI factors it in automatically. No manual prompting needed—it just happens.

Example: If you discussed a marketing campaign in one thread and now you're brainstorming in another, Personal Intuition remembers the earlier context and the AI can weave it together.

Turning It On

Off by default. Here's how to enable it:

  1. Go to Settings > Personalization & Privacy > Personal Intuition
  2. Click Enable Personal Intuition
  3. Choose Full Rebuild (one-time indexing of all past threads) or Incremental Backfill (faster, catches up after a gap)

Full Rebuild takes longer on first run but ensures every thread is indexed. Incremental Backfill is faster but only picks up new conversations since you last indexed.

How Indexing Works

Embeddings run on-device. Caiioo uses a small multilingual-e5 model to encode your conversations locally. On iOS, this runs natively via onnxruntime-objc. Embeddings are cached in memory (~10ms per query vs ~5s cold start). The same on-device e5 pipeline powers Instant Tool Chooser (the ~10ms AI tool selector available on every tier, including Free), so the cold-start cost is paid once.

No conversation content leaves your device. Indexing happens locally. Simple.

Check Indexing Status

In Settings > Personalization & Privacy > Personal Intuition, you'll see a live status:

Indexed: 142 threads · 3,847 chunks · 18,234 tokens · last indexed 2m ago

During backfill, it shows progress:

Backfill in progress: 47 / 75 threads · 2,134 chunks

So it never looks stuck—you can watch it work in real time. When backfill completes, the last summary stays visible so you know you're caught up.

Backup & Restore

Want to move Personal Intuition to another device or keep a snapshot? Go to Settings > Backup & Restore > Personal Intuition:

  1. Click Backup to download your full memory corpus as JSON
  2. On another device, click Restore and select the file

Use this to migrate between devices or archive your memory history.
