Milla Jovovich has a heads-up for everyone using MemPalace: stored files don’t stick around forever, and the deadline is closer than you might think.
The actress, best known for the Resident Evil franchise and The Fifth Element, posted an Instagram update this week about MemPalace, the AI-assisted memory management tool she founded. The post covered two main topics: clearing up lingering confusion about auto-save, and flagging an important time limit some users may not have known about.
Jovovich pointed everyone to the MemPalace GitHub page. The retrieval instructions are there. She was clear about the deadline and urged users to move quickly. She’s also added manual save tools to the platform. Those give people an extra option for managing what they keep.
Codex users are in a slightly different position. That group doesn’t face the same one-month expiration on file storage. That takes some of the pressure off. But Jovovich made clear they’re not entirely off the hook. Codex users still need to retrieve their files to get them saved inside MemPalace. Nothing transfers automatically.
A big part of the post was also dedicated to clearing up the auto-save confusion, something that had clearly been a sticking point for a while. A lot of users had been running into problems with auto-save not working as expected. Jovovich explained that the setup instructions were in the README the whole time. The issue was in the presentation.
The MemPalace team had embedded website links throughout the README to give it a cleaner, more polished look. That design choice apparently made it easy to scroll past the actual setup steps without clicking through. Jovovich acknowledged some users missed them as a result.
In the caption, she wrote: “I heard people were having some issues with the auto-save wiring, but we made links to our website through out the README to have a more user friendly, aesthetic feel, so maybe some of you didn’t click on them, but all the instructions are there and none of your ai convos will be autosave without them.”
MemPalace is a different lane for Jovovich, who’s built her career on action films like Resident Evil and The Fifth Element. The platform is built around saving and organizing AI conversations. Users can return to previous sessions instead of starting from scratch every time. It’s a practical tool for anyone who uses AI tools regularly and wants to hold onto those exchanges. She’s clearly not a passive figurehead here, either. Posting detailed technical updates and troubleshooting notes herself makes it clear she’s genuinely involved in the day-to-day.
Good news at the end of the post, too. Jovovich confirmed a new MemPalace update is in the works and teased it as coming with “a lot of great new features.” No release date was given. Sounds promising.
She signed off with her usual warmth, closing the caption with “Xo m” and a red heart emoji.
For MemPalace users on Claude Code, the action is simple: head to the GitHub page, follow the retrieval instructions, and save your files. One month goes fast. Don’t find that out the hard way.
