Give Publishing Teams Editorial Memory That Holds Across Every Writer

Style guides go stale. Source databases live in spreadsheets. The editor's verbal corrections never make it into the AI tools. MemoryLake gives publishing teams an editorial memory layer — style rules, source authority, prior coverage, and editor decisions — that every writer and every AI tool retrieves on demand.

The problem: editorial knowledge fragments by the time it matters

The senior editor flagged the same Oxford comma issue in three drafts this week. The fact-checker re-verifies sources already cleared last month. AP Stylebook updates ship; the team's AI tools never see them. The editorial memory exists — distributed across heads, threads, and PDFs nobody opens.

Try this use case on your own account

The Tidewater Ledger keeps every published story in one Library folder, tagged at upload with date, desk and author, and indexed so writers can ask what the paper has already covered. The archive is bigger than one page. The demo reconciles the folder against the index page by page, retracts a whole source folder with one tag, and checks a new writer's draft for prior coverage, retracted sources and house style.

What you will see

  • 55 stories uploaded with lib upload --xattrs. One lib list call returns 50 (asking for 51 is refused). Every page until the continuation token is null returns all 55, and the 5 oldest are the ones a single call misses
  • proj doc list returns 20 by default, so a one-call reconciliation reports 35 stories unindexed that are all indexed. Paging both lists gives 55 = 55, then names the one late story so only it is imported
  • A standards editor tags sources/harbor-authority/ as retracted with one lib xattr set. Files don't inherit folder tags (0 of 3 carry it), so the demo walks parent_item_id and finds 3 of 3 retracted
  • The draft check: 2 retracted sources, 4 house-style problems from rules stored as facts with a check pattern in metadata (0 flags on published stories), and prior coverage dated from the tags. Plus a local web UI

Frequently asked questions

Can we restrict who edits the style memory?

Yes. Editors-only write scope; writers read-only. Audit trail per change.

Does it integrate with our CMS?

Through REST API or via the AI tools your CMS uses. Direct connectors for major CMS platforms are available.

How does it handle conflicting style decisions?

Conflict detection surfaces the contradiction. Editors review and resolve; the memory carries the rationale forward.
