Session Memory
Context persistence across questions in a quiz session
Overview
Session Memory (added in 1.4.2) lets Quanta retain contextual information across questions within the same quiz session. This improves consistency for multi-part questions or thematically linked content.
What Is Stored
- Previous user questions and prompts
- AI answers provided
- Relevant extracted snippets (where applicable)
- Question relationships and dependencies
The memory is scoped to the active quiz session only:
- Persists while on the same quiz/page
- Clears when you leave or finish the quiz
- Resets on page reload that starts a new session
- Isolated per tab and browser session
Session memory is automatically cleared when:
- You navigate away from the quiz
- The page is reloaded
- The quiz session expires
- You manually clear extension storage
Benefits
Limitations
Important Constraints
- Memory does not persist across separate quizzes
- Memory does not persist across page reloads that start a new session
- Large sessions may trim older entries to maintain performance
- Context is never stored on servers or in browser history
Best Practices
Troubleshooting
Interaction with Bulk Answering
When bulk answering is active, session memory builds progressively as questions are answered. Later questions in the batch can benefit from context established by earlier questions.
- Multi-part question series get consistent treatment
- Narrative quizzes maintain thematic coherence
- Dependencies between questions are recognized
- Better answers for cumulative knowledge questions
- Run bulk answering in full rather than stopping/starting
- Pause bulk mode to review context-dependent sections
- Use normal speed to ensure memory builds properly
Privacy & Storage
All session context is stored locally within the extension runtime and is never uploaded externally (except when included in AI provider prompts). Context is automatically cleared when the session ends and no persistent storage occurs across sessions.
Next Steps
Combine Session Memory with Bulk Answering for smarter quiz automation, or explore AI Search to understand context better.
