UnisonKnowledge Base
Practical answers to common questions about auth, recall quality, memory scoping, errors, and migrating to Unison.
This is the Unison help center — short, focused articles that answer real questions about building with the Unison brain. Each article is one question, one answer.
If you're new to Unison, start with the quickstart or the Brain API reference. Come here when something isn't working the way you expect, or when you want to know the right way to handle a specific situation.
What's in here
Auth & access — provisioning keys for CI pipelines, recovering a lost key, isolating memory per end-user, and rotating credentials safely.
Recall quality — understanding weakEvidence, choosing between auto, standard, and deep modes, and practical steps to improve what the brain returns.
Memory & scoping — the difference between /private/, /workspace/, and /workspace/teams/<slug>/; how entity-extraction works; when to use conversations vs. documents; idempotency with sourceRef; and correcting wrong facts.
Errors & operations — reading the error envelope, handling rate limits, resolving optimistic-concurrency conflicts, self-hosting considerations, and exporting your data.
Migrating — moving from mem0 or Zep to Unison.
