Quickstart Guide

Get up and running with Versana's persistent Context Matrix memory in under 5 minutes. Learn how to seed your universe and let the AI build memory vectors.

1. Initialize the Matrix

Standard writing applications require you to manage multiple docs for your character bibles, world maps, and relationship webs. Relational vector databases have made this obsolete.

To manually bypass auto-extraction and seed your own database, use the following API architecture if building programmatically:

# Authenticate your terminal
versana login --token YOUR_API_TOKEN

# Bulk upload your markdown world-building files
versana matrix parse ./my-scifi-novel/reference/

# Verify ingestion statuses
versana matrix status
> 142 Vectors Indexed. Dimensionality: 1536.

2. Using Smart Tags in the Editor

While drafting in Phase 4, you can explicitly call upon the Matrix by typing @ followed by the Lore element's name. This pins the semantic meaning to the local token window, ensuring the co-pilot remembers it for the duration of the chapter.
