Quickstart

Four steps from nothing to a model that remembers. You need a Remiq API key and your server’s address.

1. Get a key

In the Console, open API keys and make a key for your server. Keys start with prism_. Keep the key on your server: code that runs on a user’s device uses a short-lived user token instead (see Basics).

Put both in the environment, never in your code:

export PRISM_API_KEY=prism_...
export PRISM_URL=https://<your Remiq address>

2. Pick a client

• Python: prism_client.py, one file, standard library only.
• TypeScript: sdk-ts/prism.ts, no dependencies (it uses the global fetch).
• Anything else: plain HTTPS and JSON, as in the cURL tab below.

3. Save, then get the context

import os
from prism_client import Prism
p = Prism(os.environ["PRISM_API_KEY"], os.environ["PRISM_URL"])
p.add("We moved the Atlas launch to Friday.", user="alice")
ctx = p.context("When is the Atlas launch?", user="alice")
messages = [{"role": "system", "content": ctx["instructions"]},
            {"role": "user", "content": ctx["context"] + "\n\nWhen is the Atlas launch?"}]

import { Prism } from "./prism";
const p = new Prism(process.env.PRISM_API_KEY!, process.env.PRISM_URL!);
await p.add("We moved the Atlas launch to Friday.", { user: "alice" });
const ctx = await p.context("When is the Atlas launch?", { user: "alice" });

curl -s "$PRISM_URL/v1/context" -H "Authorization: Bearer $PRISM_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"user": "alice", "query": "When is the Atlas launch?"}'

4. Give the context to your model

Put instructions in your system prompt and context in the user turn, or return it as a tool result. Ask your model to cite the [M…] ids it used.

Memory is data, not orders. Never paste memory text into your system instructions.

• Retrying a save? Send an Idempotency-Key (one UUID per message): Retries and idempotency.
• Documents, events and bulk imports: Saving.
• Token budget, follow-ups and tasks: Search and context.
• Building with Claude Code or Cursor? Copy the setup prompt into your coding agent: it wires the steps above into your app.
