Monday planning
The project lead asks what is left on the Acme onboarding board. Memtro reads the Deck cards by column and answers with six open cards, two due on Friday, one assigned to Priya Sharma and three still unassigned in the backlog.
Nextcloud + Memtro
Ask what is on a Deck board, find a file, or read a Nextcloud note.
Connect Nextcloud with your login name and an app password and Memtro reads notes from the Notes app, Deck boards and cards with due dates, labels and assignees, your activity stream and a file search. The app password carries all of its user's rights. The hourly sync writes notes, Deck cards and activity into memory. When you ask, and once an administrator has granted them by name, it can create, change and delete notes, and create, change, comment on, assign, label, archive and delete Deck cards. Assigning or @mentioning someone notifies them. It can also create, clone or delete boards.
In Memtro
What you can do with Nextcloud in Memtro
Ask in plain English from chat, your editor, a scheduled job or your own agent. The model picks the right Nextcloud tool, reads what it needs, and answers with the source cited.
What it does
- 01Notes from the Notes app by category or words in the title, with the full markdown body
- 02Deck boards and their cards by column, with description, due date, labels and who is assigned
- 03Your activity stream, files created, edited and shared, and a file search by name with where each file is
- 04The hourly sync writes notes, Deck cards and activity into memory
- 05When asked and granted, creates, changes and deletes notes, and creates, changes, archives, unarchives and deletes Deck cards
- 06When asked and granted, comments on or assigns Deck cards, which notifies the assignee or anyone @mentioned, adds labels, and creates, clones, deletes or restores Deck boards with their columns
Acts when asked
When you ask it to
These tools change something in Nextcloud. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it; a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.
- 01Create a note in the Notes app
- 02Create a card on a Deck board
- 03Replace a note's title, body or category
- 04Delete a note
- 05Change a Deck card's title, description or due date
- 06Archive a Deck card
- 07Delete a Deck card
- 08Comment on a Deck card (people @mentioned are notified)
- 09Assign a user to a Deck card (they are notified) or unassign them
- 10Add a label to a Deck card or remove it
- 11Unarchive a Deck card
- 12Create a Deck board, or add a column (stack) or a label to a board
- 13Clone a Deck board
- 14Delete a Deck board (restorable until Deck's trash retention passes) or restore a deleted one
Events
When it happens
Turn events on in the connection's Events tab on the Connections page, choose the kinds you want, and Memtro registers its address with Nextcloud for you. Each event can start a job, with the event as its input. Nextcloud sends a secret with every delivery, and one without it is refused.

In practice
Ask it like you would a colleague
Once Nextcloud is connected, these are the kinds of things people ask. Plain questions, no syntax. If the answer lives partly in another system you have connected, Memtro looks there too.
Nextcloud + Memtro
What is on the Deck board for the website relaunch?
Which Deck cards are due this week, and who is assigned?
Find the Brightwave Ltd contract file in Nextcloud
Archive the Deck card for the old Northwind pilot
Assign the Acme logo card to Priya and move its due date to Friday
Handing over a card
Dan Fletcher asks Memtro to assign the Northwind contract review card to Priya Sharma and set it due on Thursday. With the actions granted, Memtro changes the due date, assigns her, and Deck notifies her of the assignment.

Better together
Works with
A record in Nextcloud is rarely the whole story. Connect the systems that hold the rest and Memtro checks them together, then remembers what it learned so the next question starts further along.
- Work managementNextcloud with JiraJQL search, issue details and projects from Jira Cloud.
- Work managementNextcloud with Clio ManageAsk the matter: its client, its fee earner, the time on it and what is still unbilled.
- Work managementNextcloud with LinearIssues, projects and teams, synced hourly into memory.
- Email, calendar and chatNextcloud with GmailSearch and read mail so the last thread with a customer is one question away, and send the reply when you ask.
- Email, calendar and chatNextcloud with SlackSearch messages, read channel history and threads, post when you ask, and answer when mentioned.
- Email, calendar and chatNextcloud with Google CalendarMeetings in a window, event details, and the next two weeks synced into memory, and events it can create, change or cancel when you ask.
- Engineering and operationsNextcloud with GitHubIssues, pull requests, code and commits, searchable by anyone who can ask a question.

- 3
Open Connections → Nextcloud in Memtro, add your Login name and the App password, and type the Host name only, no https://, path or port, on a public DNS name with a publicly trusted certificate
- 4

FAQ
Questions
Can Memtro change anything in Nextcloud?+
Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: create a note in the Notes app; create a card on a Deck board; replace a note's title, body or category; delete a note; change a Deck card's title, description or due date; archive a Deck card; delete a Deck card; comment on a Deck card (people @mentioned are notified); assign a user to a Deck card (they are notified) or unassign them; add a label to a Deck card or remove it; unarchive a Deck card; create a Deck board, or add a column (stack) or a label to a board; clone a Deck board; delete a Deck board (restorable until Deck's trash retention passes) or restore a deleted one. Every other tool reads, searches or lists. The Connections page labels the tools that act, an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.
Who can use a Nextcloud connection?+
A personal connection serves only your own requests. A shared connection serves the organisation: everyone, or only the teams an admin chooses. Admins can always add shared connections; other members need the permission.
Does Memtro store my Nextcloud data?+
Credentials are encrypted at rest. Tool results are cached briefly so agent loops do not repeat identical calls, and the facts the model extracts are saved to your organisation's memory with provenance (system, record and link) so they can be checked and superseded. An hourly sync anchors recently changed Nextcloud records into memory as entities.
How do I connect Nextcloud?+
Host, login name and app password. In Nextcloud open Personal settings → Security → Devices & sessions, name an app password Memtro and copy it. It carries all of its user's rights, so consider a dedicated user with access to only what it should touch.
Can Nextcloud start a job?+
Yes. Turn events on in the connection's Events tab on the Connections page, choose the kinds you want, and Memtro registers its address with Nextcloud for you. A job set to start "When an event arrives" then runs once for each matching event, with the event as its input. The run treats the event as outside data, never as instructions, and anything the run remembers is kept as unverified.
