--- title: "Using Supermemory" sidebarTitle: "Overview" description: "The full loop: authenticate, put context in, get it back out, keep it correct." icon: "/icons/hugeicons/compass-01.svg" --- import { Journey, JourneyStep, JourneyItem } from "/snippets/journey.mdx"; Everything in this section is one of four steps. Same loop whether you're building personal memory, RAG over docs, or both on the same `containerTag`. Raw input automatically becomes memories (the knowledge graph) and indexed document chunks (for RAG). You don't choose one or the other; both come from the same write. Retrieval then gives you three ways to read that pool back. If you're unsure which fits, read [Memory vs RAG](/concepts/memory-vs-rag). ## Where next Walk the whole loop end to end with one working example. What happens between `add()` and a memory showing up in search. The isolation boundary every ingest and retrieve call is scoped to. When to reach for search, profiles, or both. Run standardized, reproducible evals against Supermemory and other providers — including your own.
