Does Base44 Remember Between Sessions? Two Different Memories, Two Different Answers

Short answer: yes, in two separate places, and neither one is the memory most people mean when they ask the question. The AI chat that builds your app keeps its conversation, its plans, and the instructions you wrote for that app. The AI agents you build inside your app have their own memory, on by default, that carries preferences and facts across conversations with your app's users. Both are real. Both stop at the walls of Base44.

That split is worth understanding, because the two memories serve two different people. One serves you, the builder. The other serves the people using the app you built. Confusing them leads to a familiar surprise: an app whose agent remembers its users beautifully, built by someone who still re-explains the project to every other tool in the stack.

Memory one: the builder chat

The AI chat is where a Base44 app gets built. You describe what you want in Build mode and the AI acts on it right away, or you switch to Discuss mode to plan a change first, with nothing built until you approve the plan. Approved and rejected plans stay in the chat as cards you can reopen later.

Return to that app and that chat, and the work continues in context. The app itself persists too: its pages, its data model, its records, and its version history, with manual edits in Edit mode saved automatically and restorable from Version History. In that everyday sense, Base44 absolutely remembers between sessions. You do not rebuild the app every morning.

What carries the builder's intent, though, is mostly written by hand. Custom Instructions are the clearest example: guidance you write once, in your own words, that the AI follows on every prompt in that app. Tone, design standards, preferred behavior. Workspace skills work in a similar direction, as saved instruction sets you can pull into a prompt. Useful, durable, and entirely your upkeep. Change your mind about a rule and the instruction text changes only when you change it, in that app, because the instructions apply to that app's main version and nowhere else.

Memory two: the agents inside your app

Separate from the builder is the agent builder, which gives the people using your app an assistant of their own. Here Base44 uses the word memory in its strongest sense, and the feature deserves credit for how complete it is.

Memory is on by default for new agents. An agent can remember important details across conversations, such as preferences, past choices, or shared knowledge, and bring that context back the next time someone reaches out. You control the shape of it from the Memory tab:

• Scope. Choose Global and Per User, so the agent keeps shared memories for everyone plus personal memories for each person, Global Only, or Per User Only.
• Memory Instructions. Guidance you write that explains when the agent should save memories and what belongs in them.
• Saved Memories. A review list where you can see what the agent has stored after a few conversations.
• Automatic condensing. When an agent's memory reaches around 50,000 characters, it condenses older entries on its own to stay within the limit, keeping the most relevant information.

Add up to 10 context files per agent, such as manuals, pricing documents, policies, or FAQs, and up to 10 skills per agent, and the result is a capable assistant inside one app. Connect that same agent to WhatsApp, Telegram, or LINE, and it keeps the same capabilities on those channels.

Where both memories stop

Notice the repeated phrase in every part of that system: in this app, for this agent, for these users. The builder's instructions live in one Base44 app. The agent's memories live in one Base44 agent. Neither was designed to follow you, or your work, anywhere else.

So the gaps appear exactly where modern work actually happens, across tools. The decisions made while building in Base44 do not appear when the same project is discussed in Claude, drafted in ChatGPT, or continued in Cursor. A scheduled automation that runs outside the app at night, in n8n, Make, or a cron-driven agent, cannot read what your Base44 agent learned from users during the day. And when a second Base44 app starts, it starts with its own instructions and its own empty agent memory, however much its sibling app already knows.

None of that is a flaw in what Base44 built. An app platform should scope memory to the app. The gap is a different job: one memory for the operator, shared by every tool and agent in the workflow, wherever each one runs.

The layer that follows the work, not the app

That is the job Vilix AI is built for. Vilix AI is a cloud-hosted memory layer, so it is hosted for you and you manage zero infrastructure. Your tools connect to it over MCP, and the same memory is available everywhere that protocol reaches: the chat tools you think in, the coding tools you build in, and the scheduled agents that run while you sleep.

The shape of what it keeps matters as much as where it lives. Vilix AI keeps full conversation history, not just facts extracted from it, so a later session can revisit the actual reasoning behind a decision, the correction that changed it, and the context around both. A Base44 build session, a planning conversation in another tool, and an overnight automation run can all read from and write to that one shared memory, instead of each keeping a private notebook the others never see.

The honest answer, in one line

Does Base44 remember between sessions? Inside an app, yes, twice over: the builder keeps its chat, plans, and your hand-written instructions, and in-app agents keep scoped memories of their users, condensed at a clear limit. Across your tools, your other apps, and your scheduled automations, that memory stays home. Keep Base44 for building the app. Give the work around it one memory of its own, and the next session, in whichever tool it happens, starts from everything the last one learned.
